If three teenagers commit a crime, two girls and one boy. Who should be charged?

Last fall, here in Buffalo, NY two teenage girls (both 15) and one teenage boy (16) went to a Christian church and with spray paint vadalized the church with "LONG LIVE THE ATHEISTS" ... and they also burned an American flag.

They are all being charged ... but do you think it's unfair that they are charging the girls? Girls never do that sort of stuff. I think that they should let the girls off and put the boy in jail, maybe for life. What do you think?

I'm not sure how much Crack you have been smoking, but GENDER has absolutely no bearing on Guilt or Innocence...

IF they did the crime, then they should pay the time ;);)


charge them all !!!
ya play, ya pay !!!
If all three are at fault, then all three should be charged.
Gender makes NO difference to justice.

(I am an atheist girl)
Your logic is just totally dumb. If they did it then they should be charged, plain and simple. You logic makes no sense at all... none whatsoever.
I hated playing tennis with you girls Now don't hit the ball too hard!
What, all 3 of them did the crime, actively participated in the crime so they all should be charged. They all had an equal part so yes they all should get an equal sentence.

Now isnt that a bit harsh to say the girls should get off and the boy should go to jail for life. That punishment doesnt even fit the crime.

I should ask my mother in law about this case, she never mentioned it to me (we are from Buffalo). Maybe I will read the Buffalo News this seems interesting.

Take care
I don't think that would really be fair. If you honestly think that, then you should probably consider that girls can be just as bad-behaved as boys can. It doesn't matter the gender. You can't choose who you are born to be. Say those two girls were born boys. Would you think they should go to jail? It's wrong to think that girls should be let off the hook and boys should get in trouble for something they all did bad together.
what kind of stupid question is this...OBVIOUSLY girls do DO this sort of stuff because they did it!! everyones at fault they made theyre own stupid desicions..let em all go to jail.WTF!
Ha ha hahahaha!





hahaha
you're crazy. if they all did it, then they should all be punished. girls would be just as capable to that than a boy would. and no one would ever be put away for life just for spray painting property. the only reason the girls shouldn't be charged is if there is some proof that they were not involved.
I think you are displaying a major double standard. Should we let a woman who killed a man off because of her sex? I don't think so! Anyone who commits a crime should be charged and if the jury finds them innocent, so be it! Justice will prevail.
you know what i think this is what i thing F**K you B**CH
All three should be charged, no matter what sex. And Girls do lots of bad things, I think we just hide it better most of the time.
I really hope your kidding. I mean seriously not matter who you are a boy or a girl if you do the crime you should get in trouble. If your 15 years old you know the difference between right and wrong.
noooo, if they were there they comited the crime. so what if they r girls what they did was wong and you shouldnt be a sexist, just bcs we r girls doesnt mean we get the easy way out and its the same for boys. we r all at the same level in america.
uh, where do you live? girls do that crap everyday. some girls are just as disrespectful as some boys are. they will all end up b*****s in jail anyways so they should all be charged the same.
I LIVE in BUFFALO too and I'm familiar with this story. You are making a terrible generalization by saying "girls never do that sort of stuff." That's like me saying that all blondes named Jennifer from Buffalo, NY who post on freelawanswer.com are unintelligent. I'm sure you would disagree. Don't be so quick with your assumptions. If all 3 committed the crime all three should be punished in accordance with said crime.
Just because they are girls doesn't mean they should get special treatment. You said girls never do that? Well now you know that girls do, so I don't see your point. SO...if a girl steals, murders, rapes or does any other crime should she be let off? Sounds very sexist to me. ALL of them should be charged at the full extent of the law. If they didn't want to do it then they wouldn't have, but they did. Slam the book at them. It's the only way anyone will learn.
No one made the girls commit the crime. They are just as guilty. That is part of what equality for women means. Males and females should be treated equally.
no affence but if they all sprayed the church and burn the flag or anything as simple as helping ya they all should get charged, i mean girls always want to have the same rights and treated with the same respect so there u go.
what? that doesnt make sense to just put the boy in jail. the girls were involved in the incident too, they should both be charged for vandalism but not for life, probably like community service or put them on probation.

and girls do do that kind of stuff too,its not just the guys. i think you're being a little racist because of the male and female gender.
Uh, if all three of the kids participated, then all three should be charged.

"Girls never do that sort of stuff..." is a pretty sexist thing to say.
Just because they are girls doesn't mean anything, they all new it was wrong. Don't discriminate just because of gender. Donald Trump was talking about that on the radio this afternoon too. They should all pay consequences. They participated in it and didn't have to. Too darn bad.
They should all get charged, that's justice for you.
They should all be charged,and burning an american flag,what kind of loyalty is that?
Don't gender stereotype, if a person commits a crime they should be punished. It doesn't matter what sex or age they are. I suppose if they are mentally ill they should be required to seek treatment instead of being punished.

The crime was minor vandalism, and you want to put someone in jail for life? You need to seek counseling for your own mental illness.

Then maybe you need to re-read the teachings of Jesus about forgiveness and such; maybe you will understand it then
Nope. They all took part, they all participated. Girls do INDEED do that sort of stuff.
Did the girls just shake the paint ,or give moral support ,hold his hands,maybe a little paint or did they sit in the car an watch. They were there an had a choice a wrong choice so there as guilty as the boy sorry.
They should all be punished. How is the teenage supposed to be held accountable if they get away with their crimes. I did time because of the garbage I did and I am very female thank you very much, had not been held accountable, I would never have learned anything and I would probably be in the same pattern I was as a teenager. Now I am very successful person, and thanks to being held accountable, I succeed every single day in life.
They all did it. They all need to get into trouble. You can't play the sex card. Sexism does not work when you are dealing with breaking the law.
... Wait, you're a troll, right?
Charge them all!! You do the crime, you do the time (as the saying goes). Why do the girls deserve to get off free? If they used spray paint too then they are just as guilty.
