I agree with everything that everybody has said about the impulses of youth, which I think has caused some of the problems. And I would like to see judges have some discretion when they're dealing with youthful offenders.
A lot of times I don't base my thoughts on a one-time incident. I'm basing them more on a pattern in life of a youth where these changes have to come. Obviously if it's a one-time thing, we always have to be thinking about the victim. But I'm more concerned that I'm seeing this every day--the intimidation, the violence that's going on among youth--and it's continuing, provoked over and over again by the same people, and those are the ones we have to work with.
