People Are Idiots

[CGM]

An eight year old may not appreciate all the ramifications of such an action, and I'm not sure about "meticulously plan", but I'd say an 8 year old who watches tv is entirely capable of being angry at his Dad, and is also entirely capable of understanding that one way to solve your Daddy problem is to shoot him. Maybe not all 8-year olds, but some nonetheless.

But can you say the kid really understood the ramifications of what he was doing?
Thats one of the key points that has to be proved for murder 1.
I mean,Keannu Reeves gets shot all the time,and comes back stronger then ever.
One of the reasons I dont let my kid watch violent movies

I addressed that point directly in my post. But I'll repeat, no not all of the ramifications will be understood by the kid.

I'll also add yes, the kid most likely understands that he can kill someone by shooting them, and when you kill someone they don't come back. The sort of ramifications he is maybe not likely to understand is stuff like the moral sanctity of life, and also the fact that in a civilised society you don't just go around shooting people you don't like.
