[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not just juvie and prison? If we actually had punishments for committing underaged crimes (shoplifting! Car theft!), then they wouldn't graduate to murder. [/quote]

You've clearly never spent time around kids in juvie. It's more a vicious cycle.  They get into the system and then end up going back over and over again, until they graduate to adult prison.[/quote]

“End up” If only they had some agency![/quote]

Have you ever seen what these kids' lives are like?  They're often in foster care, they have absolutely no one watching out for them.  [b]In bad parts of town school discipline issues end up criminalized so kids are sent to juvie for things like fights in school[/b].  Then they have a record, making jobs or even the military harder.  What life do you think these kids have.[/quote]

This, of course, is a lie.

[quote]The reality is right now society writes off these children pretty much the second they are born.  And you think it's surprising they are angry.  We made them.[/quote]

:roll: “We” didn’t make anything, unless you are referring to the bigotry of your pathetically low expectations.[/quote]

Okay yeah, so you don't know anything. Google the school to prison pipeline.

I worked with these kids.  Kids in the foster system are treated like absolute trash.  By age 17, 50% of them have [b]had an encounter with the criminal justice system[/b].  20% of kids in the foster system end up homeless within 5 years of aging out.

If you think that's on the kids, something is wrong with you.[/quote]

“had an encounter with the criminal justice system” do you even realize how ridiculous you sound?

Maybe their a**es could use an encounter with a swift kick.

It's a catch all term for arrests and incarceration but you're too lazy to Google.[/quote]

No, it’s Orwellian woke-speak for “have committed crimes.”[/quote]
