I'm not excusing their behaviour. I just don't believe in punishment over rehabilitation. These are 8-12yo and I choose to believe that they aren't irredeemable or that they are incapable of learning better. If that makes me naïve then so be it, I'd rather be naïve than carry that sort of hate in my heart as well.

    I don't hate them, or you. I'm being pragmatic. Them, and the people who sanewash and excuse their behavior are the enablers of this, and are inherently irredeemable.

    It's kind of hilarious that you're using a term coined from discussions on defunding the police while simultaneously promoting the prison system. I'm not excusing their heinous behaviour, I just also don't believe an eight year old that hasn't come close to developing an adult level of reasoning should be put in prison for life. But whatever, keep making excuses for your disgusting opinions.
