So…
…a new California bill would prohibit prosecutors from charging anyone under the age of 20 as an adult.
How can even California Democrats proffer such hogwash as a serious change to the way grown men (and women, and transfreaks, presumably) who commit crimes are treated by the legal system?
Will these newly-rebranded ‘children’ be stripped of the right to vote? Or to marry, or join the armed forces?
No sign of that, not yet, but it would surely be entirely logical, in the circumstances.
Anyway, it’s not been passed yet…
.
.
…but here’s a pinko buffoon, Democrat Senator Nancy Skinner, defending it.
“When teenagers make serious mistakes and commit crimes, state prison is not the answer,” Skinner said in a press release.
One might say, yes, alternative answers are worth considering.
Perhaps a weekly appearance in the town square, attached to the stocks, with a sturdy person beating the tar out of them with a cat-o-nine-tails….
….would indeed be an alternative worthy of consideration.
But that’s regrettably not what Sappy Senator Skinner has in mind.
“Processing teenagers through the juvenile justice system will help ensure they receive the appropriate education, counseling, treatment, and rehabilitation services necessary to achieve real public safety outcomes.”
Worryingly, even a public defender, which clearly does not equate in California into somebody out to defend the public, is echoing Skinner’s bleeding-heart bilge!
Skinner was backed by a public defender, Brendon Woods, in California’s Alameda County, who said, “Kids should be treated as kids.”
“When a young person gets in trouble, they need our help,” Woods said. “They don’t need to be locked in a cage. “
What friggin’ codswallop!
.
.
A cage is exactly what most of the filthy young mutts DO need.
By sheer coincidence, I chanced upon a UK media story, about a singer called Katherine Jenkins.
Last month, a 15-year-old schoolgirl admitted mugging Katherine for her £500 iPhone after the star bravely tried to stop her attacker snatching an elderly woman’s handbag on the King’s Road.
The evil bitch, described as a ‘Grade A’ student who cannot be named because of her age…
…also pleaded guilty to assaulting a police officer at the hearing at Highbury Magistrates’ Court on January 6.
Yes, and the band played ‘Believe It if You Like!’
…
That Daily Mail report sums up what’s wrong with criminal justice, well, one of many things wrong with it, in the UK and the USA.
Firstly, treating a vicious teenage sow as a ‘child,’ denying the public even the right to know its name, sparing it whatever obloquy it might incur in its neighbourhood, is BLOODY ridiculous.
The label ‘child’ should be attached to human beings not yet at the age of puberty, which is well below 15, and anyone old enough to know what’s right and wrong, as you and I damned will did by the time we moved from elementary to high school…
.
….should be punished in draconian fashion for doing wrong on the scale described in the UK report.
