[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's time.

It's time for every council member and bleeding heart pundit who runs around saying "but they are just kids, they don't know the consequences" to just shut up and sit down.  And it's time to treat these serious, violent crimes like armed robbery and carjacking as the adult crimes they are, and to police them and prosecute them accordingly.  And to hold those who fail to do so accountable, regardless of where they are in the chain, whether MPD or other LEOs, whether Council, the Mayor, the Prosecutors, the Courts, the detention and probation, ALL of them need to start being held accountable.

These kids committing those crimes DAMN WELL DO understand the consequences.
