Parkland school shooter registered to vote while in jail, outraging victim's father

If you understood how the system works , you would realize just how ignorant your post is. a reply to: Irishhaf

Not that I know of and I looked. I believe he has had the opportunity to enter a not guilty which the Judge did for him because he was silent. The kid is messed up and doesn't need to be thinking about voting, but instead about the 17 people he killed. It's a situation for sure and I am no advocate, but people being people are going after all they can get.

So, we can all agree the OP was a partisan hit piece, not relevant to D's ..or R's for that matter.
As unsavoury as it is, Cruz is allowed to vote.

Where's the coward OP?

OP you gotta stop taking cues from Trump on making arguments. Facts end up getting in your way. Registered republican, the laws already in place, all that stuff should be taken into account before mouthing off.

And back to the troll cave the op goes...
He'll find a rebuttal... Which will make less sense, if he comes back to the thread. Which I doubt.

Since he has admitting to the killings, it's hard to understand why there's still going to be trial, but, lawyers and laws! Go figure.

He needs to be convicted as a mentally competent person to be executed and not found guilty by reasons of insanity. The state wants to execute him, so therefore they need to take him to trial.

Here is the thing:

While it is not right, however:

The man is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. That means that the man has the right to register and actually cast a ballot to vote. The man has not gone through a trial, has not be proclaimed guilty.

So while it is not right, he is within the laws right now.

Although some disagree, it the law so it is right. Enforcing law by mob emotion would be even worse in the long run.

From what I've been told...every vote counts, hell, some even count twice.
