He needs an extended program of percussive therapy. If he shows any sign of recovery, he should be sent to the military but only if his presence does not detract from the honorable branch he serves
No - The military is NOT the place for criminals.
It is NOT a place to send juvenile delinquents/criminals/thieves to “straighten them out” because its mission is to “kill people and blow up things” ... when ordered.
The military can’t “fix” kids-criminals like this.
Nor can social workers. Here, you “breaK their self-imposed only-12-year-old-or-older can go to jail: it’s the social workers who put the kid, themselves, the police in this situation.
By the way, why is he free to walk the streets? Why not have a “social worker” or juvenile psychiatrist or “elementary school professor of education” or “criminal justice official” stay behind him, hand-cuffed to the jerk’s arm for six months.
The mission is to protect the public, not to let another 100 crimes get committed against other citizens.
