And yet they won't let us arm ourselves to stop this type of thing.
The man is damned lucky he wasn't shot for his trouble.

Just remember when you say never too young for Prison that they all come back out. And when they do they are more messed up mentally and emotionally. We have been doing the juvenile hall and the Prison thing for years now and how's it been working? There needs to be new answers.
