This is not okay

[trinityvixen]

Why does it take the judge being corrupt to make this not okay?

The kids are all right. Until a bunch of self-righteous pricks overcriminalize them. Then we create problems that we didn't have before.

Listen to some of the audio from the victims. The last two are especially frightening. These were two kids who hadn't done anything wrong at all, and they got punished.

It's pretty much a given at this point that punishing kids--or even "scaring them straight"--works less well than other kinds of admonishment (community service, etc.). Criminalizing them does not work to reduce juvenile crime.
