That's stupid, no one after high school is a child or juvenile, they are adults and should be tried as one.

I’m sure that’s the reason.

Empty minds are devil's workshops.

As for your second point, more green space would very much help. Much of the unused commercial real estate definitely should be torn down to create the parks. I would love it!

Uh, what? I moved here after law school for a job -- at 25. Should I have been arrested on my way home after a late night at the office?

You must be new here.

Your brain isn't full developed. Please leave the discussion to adults.

Seriously. I don't understand how people pose these questions with a serious face.

They’re the same people insisting 25 year olds are still children

If a curfew is going to be effective at reducing juvenile crime it must include all juveniles. In DC that includes those 25 years old and younger.

Violent criminals need to be removed and isolated from society. Doesn’t matter whether they’re 12 years old or 65. They need to go.

Start a public awareness campaign. Put the word out everywhere. After “____” date, if you get caught committing a violent crime, you’re gone. And you’re not coming back, for years. Maybe decades”.


Sure it’s unconstitutional. Sure it’s cruel and unusual.

It’ll work.


Because after you’ve removed a few thousand people, everyone else will get the message. And between people who’ve already been removed, and those discouraged by the new penalties, crime WILL drop precipitously. Guaranteed.

Your brain wasn’t full developed yet, so you were incapable of being responsible for your actions.

Well, yeah. But they'd have to enforce it, which requires resources and inclination.

Round up delinquents, drop them off on and island, and let them play Battle Royale! They clearly don't want to live in a civilized community anyway.

Would it help to have a night curfew for people under 19?

Would more green space help where free concerts, sporting events, motivational speakers, career counselors, positively engage youth?

I'm sure posters here can brainstorm for better solutions. Any ideas?
