There was some comedian who's sketch was about how little the sentence for attempted murder was. It's like "What couldn't close the deal? Well you can go now, we'll catch up with you when you get it right".

Teenagers get handled with kid gloves. Under 18? They know they can get away with it and earn respect from whatever gang they've been hanging around. Serving some time in juvie just makes them swagger a little more. What a lovely life

Edit.. just read the article again. One of these guys is 19. I guess he's still a teenager, technically. But a judge won't cut him slack for that. He's an adult, and gets the adult treatment now

I guess if he would not have worn his pants at half mast, they would not have been able to identify the underwear. I know you cannot blame the weed they found in the house on this, unless it was laced with something else.

All I'm trying to say is giving two severities of crimes the same consequence is going to kill any incentive to de-escalate the situation.

I honestly feel like your response is highly uncalled for, all things considered. I just wanted to provide a bit of perspective on what is clearly a very emotionally charged stance and here you are, contributing nothing more than insults.
