What if... [View all]

young white teens were arrested for doing stupid things? For shoplifting, for going crazy after football games, for messing up clubs in fights, for drunk driving?

What if our jails became crowded with young white males? What if they had criminal records?

Personally, I think some things would change VERY quickly.

I say, if you're going to arrest our boys, arrest them all. And then, if someone decides that things need to change, change them across the board.
