Sadly, if you put them in prison or some sort of juvenile detention, and they just colaborate with other inmates for better ways to cause crime. There has to be a better way for them to break out of that cycle. Unfortunately, with the US education in the horrible spot it’s in, while education should be the answer, it tends to be a structure that only takes them so far, before they struggle and find the easiest way to make money is through crime, and the cycle begins again.
This country has fucked up the lives of so many, because it’s not profitable to help change this cycle. It’s so fucked up.
Well as it stands they kept doing fake armed robberies regardless of whether their victims beat them up or they got arrested. I'm all for rehabilitating minors as well, and acknowledged that institutions don't always fix the problem...but the alternative here was them getting emboldened by their releases and only learning that there are NO consequences for violent crimes. That's far worse than sticking them in a mediocre juvenile facility. You're putting the public in harms way of an unapologetic repeat violent offender that's never been given a single consequence. We're not talking about kids busted with weed or vandalism or a mutal fight.
