I think it depends and that's my point. I'd need more details to have any real position on this example. I'm just speaking in general terms.

Threatening to shoot or blow up a school, for example, should be a felony for an adult. That's why details matter. Even for 1:1 cases. It just depends on what happened and why for me.

I'm guessing I would agree with you though based on what you've said. Especially if they were both instigators.

I also don't think all felonies should automatically remove rights forever. I think that's nonsense. Especially if they're released and served all time and paid fines or whatever.

Yeah. Unfortunately it pretty much ruins your life forever regardless of time served. It's often unfair.

My father experienced that for breaking into a car at 17. Couldn't vote for his entire adult life. But, I think there are avenues to restore those rights. It just should be automatic a lot more often.
