    @CjRayala @NTBaszynski It’s more than a mere policy failure. It’s a civic and moral failure. Children, lacking either formal participation in society or the ability to form intent, can’t commit crimes in the sense adults can. People out there advocating for juvenile imprisonment are dangerous idiots.

      @CjRayala @NTBaszynski And let’s not even touch so-called juvenile courts, that dole out summary justice without any of the zealous representation or constitutional trial rights adults enjoy, just some discretionary watered-down analogs that make it all a deeply sick joke.
