we will see, treat juveniles different than adults.

Oh and yes, came home from the memorial, and as expected many emotions, raw and all,. A news story to write in the morning... but when one 18 year old freshwoman at a four year college has to worry about her 12 year old brother who will soon have to go to school alone in the not so nice area of Chicago... and that she hopes her activism can make a difference for her little brother in a few years when he goes to college. That is the kind of thing I gotta ask you, is that fair? A young 18 year old student on the other side of the country having to worry whether her little brother will make it to adulthood? After all 12 year old boys are feared as if they ere hoodlums.

I gave that kid a tight hug. She is still a kid to be honest.

But this is the kind of shit that sooner or later leads to these spasms of violence.
