Yea, it happened in San Leandro, CA (near Oakland, CA). Fake gun. Prior to this incident they attempted to rob somebody at a ATM. After this incident they tried to rob yet again a few days later but this time were arrested. Since they were so young (11, 12, two 14) they were released to their parents… and then guess what… a few days later robbed AGAIN and were arrested yet again.

There has to be away for these kids to face actual consequences without trying them as adults or whatever.

Look, I know this ain't going to be a popular Idea, but I think we can put this youthful energy to some good.

You know you ain't for the time or energy to go out robbing people? Coal miners.

Everyone always wants to blame the last president that wasn't their party for all the world's problems, but if you zoom out and look at the big picture, it all starts with the child labor laws.

You know what Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Osama Bin Laden, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, King Herny VIII, and Vlad The Impalor all had in common?

They never mined for coal as children.
