District attorneys say “Only the worst of the worst face life without parole. Why shouldn cold blooded killers be locked up forever?
The worst of the worst arent the only kids forever thrown away. Some of our Lost Boys, as we call our 50, pulled the trigger. Others were simply at the scene of the crime. One teen was involved in a killing that in an adjoining county would have resulted in a charge of vehicular homicide or a few years in a juvenile facility. Some DAs plea bargain with gangbangers bearing long rap sheets who can rat out their fellow members, while throwing the book at kids who have never previously been in trouble. Statistically, those who murder have a 2% chance of EVER killing again and almost never commit even a minor crime. Long rap sheets are a far better indicator of a career criminal than murder.
