Bit of a difference from being told you’re joining a terrorist organisation online which will result in the deaths of innocent people and being offered drink and drugs by dirty old men. 
 

I think the majority on here would of had a dabble with alcohol at 15, I doubt many were planning on joining the IRA 

No it’s exactly the same! 🤣

I find amazing (predictable) how the same clowns try to defend it by comparing the 2. 

The same ones who are cleverest on here.

What about the UDA? I was asked to become an affiliate member on my 16th birthday. And I said yes, whilst being given a Rangers shirt by members of my family who positively glow orange.

I had no idea what I was saying yes to, it just sounded ace to a 16 year old lad. And my grandad "would have been proud"

How was it? Did you enjoy it? Kill many?

Nobody knows what they are doing at 15. Think back to when you were 15.

I knew fuck all about anything at 15

When I was 15 I was delivering papers 7 days a week, looking after my younger brother, working at the egg packing factory in school holidays and watching Bolton home and away, I knew exactly what I was doing at 15

She was involved in making suicide belts for the ISIS nutjobs 

Heard that too.

I also believe it's irrelevant if she didn't "do" anything- she chose to join the group and pump out sprogs very readily by one of them. She, as everyone else, knew what isis do.

Ultimately though, if the nation wherever she's detained decides she has to go, we may have to take her back, or hope she "disappears".

Indeed.

Seems that for some, if someone is a victim of a crime, they can't then be guilty of being an offender themselves. 

They're not mutually exclusive. 

Can you point out where anyone said that?

I take it this isn’t a great time to remember that Jon Venables and Robert Thompson were both 10 years old when they murdered Jamie Bulger.

Not sure what your point is.

You really think they understood the gravity of what they were doing at the age of 10?

In the 70s when I was living in Scotland there was an explosion at the Orange Lodge on Glasgow  and the papers went apeshit. Turned out a cleaner had found some sweating sticks of dynamite in a cupboard and had put them in the oven to dry out.

A small account of this appeared in page 17 of the Record.

Many of these people are the type who say “it is what it is” and “let’s move on” whilst chanting about a fight in a field 200 years ago pretending it still matters.

Ive kept my grandads Orange stuff, but only out of nostalgia.

That’s precisely my point. Two ten year olds pretty much tried and sentenced as adults. I don’t remember anyone besieging the judiciary that they were only children.
