Nonetheless, by sharing his "idea" with us, we are fully justified in judging his actions as morally reprehensible, which they are.
And his youth shouldn't be an excuse, especially in this case. Does it take someone of considerable age to know that using a mentally handicapped person for illegal gains is an abhorrent, condemnable act? Shouldn't he, as a 18-20 year-old be more responsible than this (of course, then again, since he is illegally purchasing alcohol, I guess we can throw responsibility out of the equation altogether)?
It's like me making a thread...
