The pilot worked so well in Broward County.

Like Richard Pryor said, “Thank God We Got Penitentiaries!”

Yay. So now 19yo TyShawn will be out in 18months or less with no adult record after committing aggravated armed robbery, because “boys will be boys”. I’m sure the community will be thrilled that the “dreams” of all these “aspiring rappers” and “doctahs” will not be crushed beneath the cruel heel of Justice.

Ah. The parklland model. Excellent choice.

And for dessert? Sandy Hook.

[Menehune56]

Wut?

I’d be tempted to call it a suicidal shift. Now what? Only leads to more and more concealed carry and hopefully less crime due to fewer criminals running amok among the law abiding concealed carrying.

Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. When governments fail to use those just powers, we must resort to the individual exercise of those powers. We know we have those powers because we loaned them to government, but that loan was conditioned on good governance.

First-degree robbery, drive-by shooting, first-degree burglary if a juvenile had committed a prior offense, and any violent crime allegedly committed with a firearm.

It also extends juvenile jurisdiction to age 25

So basically, the state is going to start housing 25 year old criminals in juvenile-rehabilitation facilities. Sounds like a recipe for a lot of 15 and 16 year old juvenile offenders to be beaten up, raped and/or to learn the criminal trade from the experts.

[Zeppo]

Robbing a convenience store at gunpoint or spraying bullets from a moving vehicle are the kinds of crimes that will no longer see 16- and 17-year-olds automatically sent to adult court — and likely, on to adult prison.

That will surely decrease the incidence of those types of crimes in the state of Washington, won't it...

Kids who would otherwise certainly have gone on to cure cancer or bring joy to the world but for their adult prison record will now be able to lead productive lives, realize their self-actualization goals and achieve their foreordained destiny due to this unselfishly humanitarian act.

Who knew fixing the crime rate was so easy!

Let’s just sit back and watch for what we know will happen in Seattle. Ah, the pleasures of knowing where our next sh*thole city will be.

They never learn.

So they will be setting up for the next mass murderer that wasn’t identified through background checks and detected and stopped by police action before before they graduated to mass murderer status. Then they will be baffled and pass irrelevant, oppressive laws that have nothing to do with the cause of their problem.

[mewzilla]

Folks in Washington, state of, should take a good look at what’s going on in Chicago regarding this.

[WayneS]

The new law will reduce the number of 16- and 17-year-olds who have been charged with a handful of violent offenses from entering the adult criminal-justice system. It also extends juvenile jurisdiction to age 25, up from age 21, for those convicted of certain crimes.

What could possibly go wrong?

[Mastador1]

Madness!

Not if your intent is the destruction of American society. Calling a 25 year old a juvenile so that he can avoid prison and instead putting them in juvenile hall with real children so they can abuse them is beyond madness, it's evil!

And surprise, it's not California!
