According to Trump the Central Park five deserved the death penalty ... but Kavanaugh

should not be held accountable for his actions because he was only a few years older that the Central Park five, making him too young to be accountable.

Yes suddenly age is factor

The Central Park Five did nothing and ended up in prison with Trump's help of inciting the public.

Kavanaugh actually sexually assaulted someone and now Trump feels he belongs on the Supreme Court

Of course the was the only motivation, but they are now claiming his age should be a consideration Snake Plissken Sep 2018 #2
Kavanaugh was 17. His victim was 15. SunSeeker Sep 2018 #3
That's the point I'm making, 14 years old was not too old to be executed, but now suddenly 17 is Snake Plissken Sep 2018 #4

At the time of their arrests, the Central Park 5 were between the ages of 14 and 16 years old.

There is a big difference between a 17 year old and a 14 year old. 17 year olds can be tried and convicted as adults.

And it's not even like Trump casually held this option he took out a full page ad to incite an entire city, but now suddenly Kavanaugh should be be excused because he was 17
