Meanwhile, in Florida.

I never said punish worse than hurting people. Don't put words in my mouth.

I said planning should be punished with more than 21 fucking days of Juvie.

Christ.

[archibaldcrane]

21 days of juvie is an embarrassing joke. For shit like this, kids should be tried as adults. This isnt little jimmy joyriding (provided no one is killed), this is two kids with full intent to end the lives of other kids/teachers.

They're 13 and 14 years old, they may have just been talking shit

Hmm

Yes.

Planning is intent. Planning is literally spending days, weeks, months formulating a plan to figure out the best course of action and preparation and gathering any tools needed. The above example of "hurting people" could be a spontaneous reaction in the heat of the moment.

"talking shit", yup gathering weapons is "talking shit" lol.

Deputies executed search warrants at both students' homes and found a gun and several knives,

just talking shit

Authorities also accused the teens of trying to learn how to construct pipe bombs and how to buy firearms off the black market.

Not sure if this is based on their investigation, but just more talking shit.

[archibaldcrane]

If the police executed a search warrant at my childhood home they would have found multiple guns and knives, maybe a machete, brass knuckles, some throwing stars, a copy of the Anarchists Cookbook, who knows what else.

Were you not also a 13 year old boy at any point?

[archibaldcrane]

I mean, seriously, this is America. The odds you will find at least 1 gun in a search of two houses, even at random, is greater than 50%

[Karbuncle]

I mean not to say these kids werent trying to do some dirty shit, not even commenting on that regard as I'm assuming the police have more evidence they were prepping for some shit outside of "weapons at the house".

It wasn't just the weapons Archi, it was that they also supposedly had plans and documents detailing their plan and intent to use those weapons in a very bad way. Just the weapons alone and this wouldn't be news.

Edit: Yah like this. As Michael Jordan would say, fuck them kids.

But dang, yah I definitely have a Shotgun, a Pellet Rifle with a Scope, about 6-7 Swords(one a wooden replica), multiple Knives and daggers(with at least 2 absolutely being fully functional and not just display items) and If you had checked a couple months ago you'd of also found at least 1 5-round revolver and a semi-auto rifle or two at my house.

No pipe bombs however.

Then again I'm not school age and my guns are legally owned.

[Zealot]

I don't see the big deal.

They're Gen Z. They're the generation that grew up with routine active shooter drills and learning how to tourniquet their injured friends. Theyve grown up learning about the horrors of school shootings. That's not just talking shit. They fully wanted to go on a rampage. At 13/14 you know what a gun can do.

[Salodin]

Yes, and at 13/14 they are still young and fixable. We don't need to ruin their lives after not even a decade and a half when we caught them early and can intervene so they lead better lives with better examples.

The exact same way that black kid with an airsoft gun in a park shouldn't have been killed, and if not killed he shouldn't have been jailed either.

One month in juvi is enough to scare some kids, and with proper counseling and guidance they can even be proper productive citizens who once made a stupid mistake when they were kids.

Y'all need some dammed sympathy. This was discovered and stopped before something tragic and irreversible happened, but because we discovered it early we can explore avenues other than "lock em up and throw away the key."

kids out here playing rust irl

[Boyiee]

The kids need some counseling, therapy, new parents, and a slap on the wrist.

They don't need to do hard time as adults, this isn't minority report.
