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.

See, I can totally understand that the vast majority of people screwed by this had no recourse--the majority of juvenile offenders come from poor families, after all, and it's pretty much a given in our society that the poor are fucked. I think it's particularly telling when the relatively rich/well-connected have to shrug their shoulders and say, "Oh well, they win, bend over and take it."
