kids being kids.

I think there are way to many non-violent people in jail for non-violent offenses that can be written off as youthful indiscretions that probably don't reflect what type of adult that person can grow to be.

What I saw in that video was a violent bully who needs serious intervention which I wouldn't be mad at if it came in the form of being arrested.

I hope for change for that kid but in the mean time, Fcuk that kid.
