But they're only children
Juvenile Corrections Officer William Hesson killed by juvenile.
Juvenile Corrections Officer William Hesson, Ohio Department of Youth Services
When are we, as a society, going to wake up to the fact that we can not confuse the children who are criminals with our children. They're the ones who are breaking into homes and robbing stores as often as not. Yet we keep thinking of them as unfortunate kids from bad homes instead of dangerous felons.
Our juvenile jails are not being properly funded. I'd rather release more adult offenders so that we can isolate the kids who need to be detained so they don't drag other at risk youths into gangs and crime.
I'm sorry if this is a bit preachy for an announcement relating to an officer's death.

The juvenile justice situation is a complete joke, and it cost the life of Hesson. Rest easy bro.
That which does not kill me, better start fucking running.

Rest in peace, Officer Hesson. My condolences to family , friends and colleagues.SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM-Ex-Sheriff Martin Howe to Will Kane in "High Noon"
"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

Many of them should be charged as adults, in my opinion. This just goes to show us all whats wrong with our society. Waste of time indeed. Originally Posted by Wolven
