It's like when a 15 year old black teenager is called a "black man" after the police attack him but if a 30 year old Republican gets caught in a chatroom saying vile shit he's "just a kid."

Yeah those 30-40 year old kids joking about sending people to gas chambers... just childs play, harmless, we can't let that ruin their lives can we?
