Yeah, you're definitely out on a limb there. Good night ;)

"Somehow a systemic and racial justice issue". That you think it's not speaks volumes. Children can face consequences but still go back to environments that are lead-contaminated, filled with pests, no access to after-school programming, adequate nutrition, or even the special education services kids may desperately need (a rampant problem in DC). We can amp up the consequences but until social safety nets are strengthened, especially for underserved communities, repeat offenses will continue to be a predictable outcome.

Please provide data showing that harsher sentences and increased police spending reduce repeat offenses. Thanks.

Not how I use revolving doors. So like in Elf?

Murderous broken, damaged, children in crisis who have been failed by a society filled with injustice. Operative word: children. Which is why, rightly, no one is throwing away the key. Or should we go back to child executions of the Jim Crow era? Maybe just execute children in the street like in Brookland?

But also exit plan, hence revolving door

Why would it not be a revolving door if they're juveniles? AKA children.

Horrifying how nonchalant OP is about police murdering civilians. Oh and "[eyeroll], here comes the family suing MPD, and the journalists covering it". Yikes, dude, a whole fucking person was offed by the state so yeah it gets covered. A person > fucking tires.

I see both sides of this honestly. Like, it's nice if you're alone to have a coffee, do a bit of work. On the other hand, I've been in situations where I'm at a coffee shop with a friend where we've specifically met to chat and we're getting, like, icy death stares from teleworkers nearby since we were talking and upsetting the 'office' setting, LOL.

Nope. I've done research in that section and nobody asked or cared. But they were very nice!
