Jokes on you.  I am a lawyer.  From an elite institution no less.  The scariest part (at least from your perspective) is that [b]many of my classmates share my views on the criminal justice system and these views are gaining more power in liberal cities such as DC.[/b]

I left that part out because it likely isn't true.  There is every reason to believe they didn't want to steal the car through violently harming someone.  They wanted to steal the car, most likely preferably without any violence.  That this isn't how it played out doesn't change their intent going in. [/quote]

No, the joke's not on us. The really sad, cruel "joke" is that people like you give kids permission to think that they have an excuse for bad behavior, instead of aiming high, doing their best in school, and trying to stay out of trouble. The cruelest "joke" is that their lives get ruined by their criminal behavior. Furthermore, your way of thinking is insulting to the many people who grow up in extreme poverty but don't commit serious, violent crimes. [/quote]

How old are you (and the classmates) that stated the bolded?  Kids for the past 20-25 years have not been allowed small failures which help teach them how to handle (or preferably avoid) large failures.  I'm just curious if the idea is catching on because accountability is so foreign to your generation.[/quote]

wtf? do you actually believe these girls did tjid because they “weren’t allowed small failures”? that if only they had been given a more free-range childhood they wouldn’t have violently carjacked and murdered someone? actually sounds like they were pretty free range.
