Unless the good judge is willing to adopt all those young men as step children,there is really nothing he can do to change their fate.

It was probably the first time any of them had someone attempt to "parent" them.....their real parents should see jail time for "parental negligence".

The problem of bad parents, bad schools and bad leadership is compounding the problems for blacks....and America.

Obama and Rev. Wright are no solution - they feed on, and stoke, the misguided discontent of young black people.

Time was, a judge could send delinquents like that to the armed forces and make decent citizens out of them. I knew a kid who was a complete troublemaker back in the 70's, smoking pot and committing all kinds of petty crimes. He got caught vandalizing a business and was offered a choice of felony charges or the military. I think the business owner paid for his bus ticket to San Diego. He ended up commanding a destroyer and is now pleasantly retired.
