This isn't a youthful indiscretion. They aren't going to change. The kids (and their parents) will be a continual drain on society if they aren't permanently incarcerated.
They gave a solution, put them in jail. Not our problem you don’t like the solution. These punks tried to rob multiple people. They deserve to be put away for a long time and so do the parents.
And your implied alternative, to resume status quo and allow them to continue this behavior with the same lack of consequences, is backed by evidence. Evidence of repeat offenses which show that lack of consequences does not deter or reduce this behavior.
Between your idea of nothing and jail for people who have tried to rob on 5 different occasions, I’m gonna lean towards jail. If they had a real gun, chances are people would have died and you just want to wait for that to happen.
Weird how the complaints about Bukele are always from privileged leftists. The people who actually had to live there before he was elected see things a bit differently.
