think about it. all the first born sons of egypt were struck down. no matter how young. they were born into their situation, they had no control over it. god put them there. in that very situation. and then killed them. they had no control over the phaoroah's decisons. but they were all killed by god.
good job butchering those who were completely innocent and that had absolutely no control over the holding of the hebrews, all merciful , compassionate god 
Happy New Year, JOHN MATRIX!
And don't forget Pharaoh and his father before him murdered all, not just the first born, but all male Hebrew babies. Their actions had consequences which affected not only them, but also their children and all of Egypt. The blood of the first born Egyptians is on the hands of their own parents, and on the hands of Pharaoh.
And don't forget that if the Egyptians had followed the passover instructions, which were no secret, just as the Hebrews did, the angel would have passed over them too and would have spared the Egyptian first born too. Sounds very merciful and compassionate to me. Just read the whole thing to get a more clear picture.
