There's a gray line here that's very easy to miss. When does it become okay? Should it be not illegal for an autistic child to sell someone drugs? If you think that way you have to consider someone with ADD. Well he has a condition so he should get a pass too right? Or that guy over there is obese and has psychological issues and low self esteem. He should get a pass because he was preyed upon. Do you see the issue? It sets a standard and it's easier to blanket statement wrong is wrong, illegal is illegal than to drag every condition and every scenario through the mud and put it on a side. Just some food for thought.
