In Spring Hill, Florida, 2 brothers age 9 and 10, have been arrested by cops for threatening them, one with a deadly weapon (box cutter knife). Sure, the kids are young, and not as accountable as their adult counterparts. They do pose a threat though, and the public must be protected.
Secondly, someone must be accountable. That would be the parents (or guardians) of the kids and THE TEACHERS (and their schools). Remember our school classes ? All that reading, writing , & arithmetic ? All the geography and history. English grammar ? It was all there. What probably wasn't there, in your school and mine, was CRIMINAL LAW.
OK teachers. tell us when the last time was that you taught your 4th and 5th graders about weapons laws. How about simple possession of stolen property ? Or simple assault, battery, aggravated battery, or obstruction of justice ?
How many more Trayvon Martins, Michael Browns, and kids like these 2 in Spring Hill, will we have before schools start teaching kids what they NEED to know.
