Your bad faith is showing. "So that’s one easy example where you made a large judgment error.
"There are many."
You're hoping that by laying on gentle condescension, you'll score points. And among Cameron's supporters, you probably will. Dispassionate observers are going to be less than impressed. But you know your target audience, so well played.
Owning two restaurants in Florida does not prove you understand the society of Florida at all. Only that you understand what draws diners. And that's assuming your restaurants were successful.
So, no error judgment there on my part. Shall we talk about yours?
"Was it a child driving recklessly who made a stupid juvenile mistake . . . or an individual with an adult mentality carrying out an intended act of premeditated murder?"
That is bifurcation. The fallacy of presenting a situation as having two alternatives when more exist.
My answer to your question is "Neither. It was a legally recognized adult who assumed the adult responsibility of owning and operating a car who demonstrated a reckless indifference to known risks. Not an intentional murderer, obviously, but someone who thumbed his nose at known and obvious risks."
The law did not charge him with murder (although it could have); it charged him with vehicular manslaughter.
Cameron knows that people get hit by cars. I've seen enough of his videos of him engaging in various activities to know that he has sufficient knowledge of physics to realize that two tons of car striking an unprotected woman and her baby at 102 mph is going to do serious bodily harm, likely resulting in death. He also took Driver's Education and knew what was doing was illegal. In fact, since he was going over 50 mph over the speed limit, he was committing a third degree felony.
One of the more embarrassing mistakes you make is "equally makes the decision to try Cameron as an adult on the SEVERITY of the mistake."
The judge did not decide to try Cameron as an adult. Nature made that decision on Cameron's 18th birthday. The judge does not have discretionary authority to try legally reconized adults as juveniles. Yes, some crimes are so heinous that juveniles can be tried as adults, but the reverse is not true.
With that, I will amend my previous statement about you not understanding Florida. I don't even think you understand the United States. On your 18th birthday, you have attained the age of majority in the U.S. Your right to be tried as minor is gone.
The fact you once lived in the U.S. without knowing this is . . . bizarre. How did you miss that?
"Cameron Herrin remained at the scene of the mistake. He did not run. He waited for his parents to arrive and help him. The act of a well adjusted, normal child. Mommy — I did a bad thing and I need help."
No, that is the response of a spoiled child who wants to exercise all the privileges of adulthood, but leave the responsbility of cleaning up his mistakes to his parents.
And this one section of yours absolutely drips with glaring disingenuousness. "It has been suggested that support for this boy is because of his good looks."
Subjective, but whatever.
"My response is -- RUBBISH! Cases like these are presided over by experienced seasoned Judges. They do not take looks into account."
What kind of badly-executed misleading crap is that? The support that Cameron has garnered aside from his family and favorable witnesses at his trial, is from social media. The statement that Cameron's support is based on his looks refers to the support he gets on social media.
Cameron apparently had a very popular TikTok channel, amassing nearly 2 million followers. (He has since deleted all videos, but his follower count now surpasses the 2 million mark.)
This has nothing to do with judges. No one has suggested that judges are basing their decisions on Cameron's looks. The statement is suggesting that Cameron's supporters are basing their support on his looks.
And there is evidence for that all over the place. People who don't even know him are fawning over what a good person he is. I've seen a couple of TikTok videos who flat-out say, "He is innocent, and handsome."
Finally, Cameron isn't paying with his life. No one has called for his execution. Yes, he will spend a significant portion of his life in prison. As he should.
Jessica and Lily are the only ones who paid with their lives in this situation.
Because Cameron wanted to race his fancy new car.
