Yeah, that's what you did. DOPE

Frank's on ignore because he's a lying piece of shit who talks trash and makes bets he can't afford.

But thanks to the power of the quote function, I still get gems like "Governor Pritzker cares about me."

OOps...

This is a societal problem that needs to be solved.

I've seen and heard the stories. We're up to almost 2k carjackings for the year. Which is absolutely insane. Not to go Neil Degrasse Tyson on you, but a higher percentage of people die from covid than carjackings ending with someone being shot. That doesn't even take into account a middle school kid doing the carjacking.

I know that it doesn't make any carjacking victim feel better, but the police are solving these crimes at an extremely high rate. They should be commended for that.

Yes, middle school children are known for their trigger discipline and commitment to overall safety when handling firearms, even when robbing people. Are you seriously this fucking insane that you'd even think to argue that being carjacked by a middle schooler with a gun is actually safer than a "normal" carjacking?

No doubt I would blame the family and be itching for any excuse to attack a father or uncle. I've never met a young kid who decided to commit crimes on their own. There is usually a family member who has encouraged it or given their child away to an awful community.

It really shouldn't shock anyone here that I have a bleeding heart for young kids. Regardless of the story, I may come off as excusing their behavior.

How many middle school kids have killed someone in a carjacking? How many middle school kids have carjacked someone? I think it's more likely that the middle school kid would be shot or have a gun taken from them, but I don't have any data to back that up either since nearly every middle school kid in the country aren't carjacking anyone.

OMG you're actually doing it, with the Texas Sharpshooter "during a carjacking" caveat to boot. MANY, Nas. The answer is MANY. MANY middle schoolers have mishandled firearms and shot someone unintentionally, so it perfectly stands to reason that a middle schooler committing armed carjackings is inherently more dangerous.

Just say what you mean, everyone else can see it.

Kid probably attends a school that focuses on "Restorative Justice".

I don't want your opinion on how a middle school kid may handle a gun. If you have data, you should probably provide it. If not, you should continue your thing with LTG in the politics section.

I could not be more clear about what I mean with my actual words.

"Mr. Inferential" right there for ya. He knows what everyone else "wants" and "means" to say. Never himself though.

I'm torn on this. I actually think that it could work if a school community actually believed in it and had strong leadership. I don't think most schools give a shit or they go to extremes by literally allowing the kids to do whatever they wan to do because of really weak leadership.

Restorative Justice is a joke. It presupposes that the victim is the perpetrator and the perpetrator is the victim. Inherently it makes excuses for perpetrators regardless of the offense. And it never takes into account the impact that its non stop advocacy of lenient policies will have on the learning environment. The only reason that it is pushed is because the bureaucrats want a reduction in their all important numbers.

None of the people who make decisions regarding restorative justice are ever the ones responsible for actually implementing it.

Young people aged 10-19 have by far the highest rate of inflicting accidental death on another person with a mishandled gun from 2005 to 2015, their death-causing rate per capita (and total deaths) being almost twice as high as the next group.

And yeah, like I said, it's obvious what you mean here.

Yeah, I think Nas exploring every possible avenue to excuse an 11 year old committing armed carjackings, up to and including arguing that an 11 year old robbing you with a gun is appreciably safer than being carjacked by an adult with a gun, demonstrates what he's really up to.

Do tell...

Nah nice trick Inferential. His argument had nothing to do with 19 year olds. Or 15 year olds for that matter..

If you at all believe in the rehabilitative theory of punishment, the 11 year old is your best opportunity

The kid has to be punished. It seems insane to me to think otherwise.

Punishing a yute for a serious transgression (or series of serious transgressions) seems the best way to show society cares about him (or her!).

_________________

Look at "other-inflicted deaths". Then at the "rate" and "total" figures for the 10-19 age group. Pretending you don't know how to read a table is a nice touch.

It doesn't do that. It gives 2 or more kids the opportunity to be able to work out an issue they may be having instead of instantly removing kids from their learning environment by way of suspension.

Having an adult present who not only believes in the potential effectiveness of it, but who also has the skills would go a long way. Most young kids haven't figured out a way to reasonably work out a problem or try to understand how someone else may be feeling.

Administrators have a say in it and teachers do as well. They practically write the WSS. Unfortunately, far too many think so little of kids that they would prefer griping to colleagues or parents that they believe will be sympathetic than trying to actually help and educate children.

I'm not quite naive enough to believe that Restorative Justice or any singular measure will solve all problem or help all kids.
