This is exactly the kind of argument that was used to excuse the real-world livestreamed torture of a kidnapped, mentally handicapped white boy by four 18-year-old African-Americans. "She's too young, she doesn't know it's wrong, there were extenuating circumstances!" If you lack the basic instincts to realize that mass murder is wrong or that it's fundamental cruelty to kidnap and torture someone who never did you any harm, you don't deserve to exist in society. It was bad enough when it was JUST the cold-blooded torture of a mentally disabled boy who looked up to you: if you're legitimately trying to make the argument that there are extenuating circumstances to a systematic campaign of genocide in which families were slaughtered, turned into monsters and used to kill their kith and kin, there's something fundamentally wrong with you as well.
