"If someone is redeemable, then hopefully they themselves or their family with interdict and get them out before they get killed or kill someone." Did you mean to say "will intervene"? because as it stands that sentence made no sense at all. I'm not trying to be a grammar or spelling nazi, I just honestly am not sure where you were going with that. Aside from that, I can only partially agree with what you are saying. There certainly are BAD people, but it's not necessarily the crack-smuggling kids on the street that are the worst. What about the white -collar criminals that are stealing from the people and causing much of the poor conditions these kids live in? I'm all for shooting them; what about you?
