So you want them to be able to vote if they voice political concerns becauE that’s adult too.
What about if they fuck an adult is that cool because sex is an adult acts too.

You’re literally lying and making shit up. Why be a liar?
A lot of people here on MMO-C need to learn to calm down and work on their EQ.
No, punishing these 5 kids as if they were adults is not, in any way whatsoever rational or justified. That is not to say that nothing should be done, but one should really understand just what the hell actually happened to result in what happened.
Most likely this is a case of 1 psychopath who has a "gift" for being able to manipulate other people. Children are particularly susceptible to such psychopaths. The law needs to figure who the ringleader is (likely the eldest and biggest, but that isn't guaranteed) and that person needs to be placed into prison for the rest of his/her life because he/she is unrehabilitatable.
The other kids need to helped. They are also victims.
If the others were adults, then they would also need to be held accountable, but you can't expect children to be able to held to the same standards of accountability as adults.
They should be locked away for the rest of their lives.
On mmoc saying let’s not kill children is radical!

Knowing what they were doing an understanding the weight and consequences are different.
An eight year old can know using a gun to shoot someone means they’re dead and goes away forever and that it is a bad thing. But still do it.

Kids can be rehabilitated if you still want to lock them up for life you have some vengeance boner.
12 is plenty old enough to know that murder is among the worst things a person can do.

You realize they don’t become something just because you’d like to dehumanize them to justify your own wanting to kill them. A 10 year old that beats their brother toddler to death is still 10 they aren’t a mythical monster.

Child killers happen. Child killers can be rehabbed

So what? Knowing something is wrong and being able to fully empathize and fully appreciate the weight of what it means and all consequences is chiefly an adult brain thing not a 12 year old brain thing. A twelve year old May know what is right and wrong but fully appreciating it, it does not for it just can’t.
This is like arguing with climate deniers in a 4th hottest year on record thread while they say “but it was cold in Chicago”
While this is true, they are also highly suspceptible to manipulation. This isn't some mysterious phenomenon. It's been known since the human species started to become intelligent. It's why we look after our kids until they are actually adults.
I would say it's quite likely that the ringleader is a psychopath and a monster. I would say that it's highly unlikely that the rest are.
That’s the thing they literally lack the capacity but you guys are taking the act as having.

So “I want this child dead let him grow up first even if he is rehabilitated kill him for a crime he committed not as an adult with adult faculties but as a kid”
This is like saying if a kid steals something at age 10 loco them up and the. Charge them with harsher terms as an adult.

You clearly have no idea what premeditated murder is.
You do realise that any kid at that age, if exposed to the right (or should I rather say wrong) influence, would have the capacity to kill. The only difference between you and 4 of those kids is that you weren't the poor, unlucky sod who drew that particular short straw. And don't try to delude yourself that it had absolutely to do with anything you can take credit for. It's basically down to a combination of luck and circumstance.
