This Is What Happens When You Don't Lock Up Criminals!
When we seal the records of juveniles with multiple violent offenses, we shouldn’t. Act surprised when an 18 year old with “no prior offenses,” suddenly kills someone.
The criminal who is incarcerated or not incarcerated is not the only one who is learning a lesson here. The criminal, teenaged or otherwise, who is not incarcerated, who is treated as leniently "suspects #1 and 2", and Amir Boone, were, learns the lesson that he’ll always get cut a break; that’s not a lesson the article authors have contemplated.
It’s also the people around the malefactors who learn a lesson, the lesson being either that, hey, these guys got busted, but were let go, so I’ll get let off, too, or the lesson that, dang, my buddies got busted and drew ten years in the state pen. The teenaged delinquents the authors contemplate getting whatever services and education that they expect might get that, were they to get their way, but the kids around the leniently treated criminals won’t; they’ll only see that their buddies got away with it.

Expect the Evil
For a long time, America could have been safely considered what we still are: a unique experiment in freedom and liberty under a republican government.
As a nation, we are at the point where we have removed as many biblical references as possible - with predictable results. The foundation of our nation is crumbling visibly but is not yet gone. It was not just the removal of prayer from schools. That was just the beginning of the thousand cuts we suffer that are draining the spiritual life out of America.

There is no compromise and no third way. There is no unity ticket because there is no desire to unify. Obama’s dream of dividing the country came true. I want Donald Trump to turn that dream into Obama’s nightmare because Trump’s results were so much better than Barack’s boy. From inflation to the invasion to Afghanistan and the Middle East, Trump was the best president since Reagan.
The choice is clear for many Americans because it is between good and evil. There is no middle ground. Either we are a free people or we remain in this banana republic. READ MORE…
Beware the Ides of March: Lessons from Ancient Rome
The Ides of March gained infamy due to its association with Caesar's murder, an event immortalized in William Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar."
The Ides of March bears significant historical weight as the date of Julius Caesar's assassination in 44 BCE. In the Roman calendar, the Ides marked the middle of the month, and each month had its own Ides. However, it was the Ides of March that gained infamy due to its association with Caesar's murder, an event immortalized in William Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar."
