Should Juveniles Be Waved Into Adult Court?
Rethinking Juvenile Justice: Age-Adjusted Sentencing and Transformative Rehabilitation
Should juveniles be waved into adult court? We need to take their age into consideration. What if 18% a year (1-1/2% a month) would be dropped from the sentence for each year under 18? If he faced a 40-year sentence, a 17 year old could face a maximum of 32.8 years; a 16 year old, 26.6 years; and a 15 year old, 19.4 years.
Another thing that could be done is trying juveniles as juveniles with an adult parole. They’d do their time in a juvenile prison. When they get out, they would have a 5 or 10-year parole to do as an adult. If they mess up, to an adult prison they would go.
A few years ago two 12-year-old girls from Waukesha stabbed their friend attempting to kill her. They claimed Slender Man came alive and told them to kill her and he (Slender Man) would reward them to live in his mansion. Both girls were waved into adult court and ended up not guilty by reasons of insanity. Are we to believe both girls went insane at the same moment? If they got on some bad drugs – maybe. How can two healthy girls go insane at the same moment and in the same way? That’s impossible. Perhaps the psychologists were atheists. For them there is no God and there is no devil or demons. The only conclusion they could come up with was both girls are insane.
Both girls are probably normal now and they’ll remain normal under supervision. If the psychologists went on line in hopes of getting Slender Man to come alive, it don’t think that will happen. Jesus talks about the devil as a deceiver, a thief, a murderer, a liar, and a destroyer. Never did Jesus say the devil was stupid. But if one of the girls were released and again tried to contact Slender Man, he could come alive for her simply because she already opened that door. Could something much worse happen then? She needs a Godly psychologist who can look at it from a Biblical angle.
The Bible talks about a similar incident. When God created Adam and Eve He placed them in the Garden of Eden. They could eat of every tree in the garden except the one in the middle of the garden. God wanted to test their loyalty.
A couple of weeks may have past, we don’t know for sure, when Eve was by the tree in the midst of the garden. Suddenly a serpent started to speak to her, “Did God really say; you must not eat from any tree in the garden?” Eve answered, “we may eat fruit from all the trees in the garden, but God did say you must not eat fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden, or touch it or you will die.” The serpent answered Eve, “you shall not surely die, for God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be open and you will be like God knowing good and evil.” So Eve took of the forbidden fruit and ate it, and didn’t die that moment.
Both girls heard Slender Man speak to them as Eve heard the serpent speak to her. Most of us know Slender Man can’t talk, but the serpent of deception can whisper in our ear and mislead our thoughts. Were all three girls insane? No. The devil spoke through Slender Man as he spoke through the serpent. Both girls were promised a great reward – to live in a mansion with Slender Man. Eve was promised that she would be like God. Both girls and Eve did something really, really wrong. They believed a lie. The girls believed they had to kill their friend to gain glory, and Eve acted out of disobedience to what God told her, which brought death to all humanity. Jesus calls the devil a murderer from the beginning.
Florida had a mass shooting in a school just over a year ago. They had the shooter in an interrogation room by himself. He kept babbling on to himself, “kill, destroy, kill, destroy.” Jesus says, the devil comes to kill and destroy. Was the shooter demon possessed or strongly under his power?
Why do we have so many mass shootings today? Sixty years ago you rarely heard of that. Sixty years ago almost everyone could buy a gun. Sixty years ago most Americans believed in God and that there would be a future judgment. That’s no longer true today.
Children today are brainwashed into the evolution theory of humanism. A popular saying among our youth is “you only live once”. It’s no longer a Biblical question of right and wrong, but rather, is it right for me or not. That’s the new right and wrong.
These incidents happen in the Milwaukee area.
• A man attempts to drive off after putting $22 of gas in his SUV. The owner steps in front of his vehicle. In order not to get caught he runs the man over and kills him. He gets away but is later caught.
• A lady has her nails done and runs out without paying the $35 bill. A woman runs out in front of her car to stop her. The lady in the car runs her over and kills her. She too is later caught.
• A man shoots a city inspector and steals his car. All the police will have their eyes out for that car. He’s later caught.
• In northern Wisconsin a man sees a girl he wants, so he kills her parents and abducts the girl. The girl escapes and he’s arrested. He admits to everything.
• A man from Colorado kills his pregnant wife and his two daughters.
If there is no God, and if they see no value in that life, and if they see a reward for themselves, then in their eyes it’s okay to kill.
Several years ago I had to repair some steps and the mosquitos were terrible. I see no value in the life of a mosquito. I kill them if they land on me. My reward for killing a mosquito is not getting bit. This seems right to me. Some people view other people like I view mosquitos.
Our prisons are overcrowded. One thing I find cruel is doubling up inmates in a 5 or 6 foot wide cell with a toilet and sink for 24 hrs a day. If you need to double up, do so at a medium security camp where the rooms are much larger and you’re free to leave the room all day and in the evenings.
Perhaps the biggest danger to overcrowding is not enough jobs to go around. Some inmates sit around doing nothing but watching TV, playing cards or visiting other inmates. The state pays them 5 cents an hour. This is Beyond Stupidity. One-thing prisoners need to know is if you want something you’ll have to get a job and earn some money. Some inmates newer had a job before entering prison. If they don’t learn how to get a job and keep it in prison, what are their chances once released?
Here’s my solution. Expand the medium camps and allow outside businesses to move in. Inmates could get a real job and earn some real wages. The state could take part of the wages for room and board. If an inmate could make $4 or $5 an hour, think of the money he’d have once released. It he had $5000 to $20,000 upon release, plus working experience, he’d be able to buy a car, rent an apartment and support himself. I knew a man who was out only a short time and returned. I asked him why. He said all his friends had cars and stuff and he had nothing. An ex-con getting out on his feet is more likely to make it.
I know a man who had sex with a child decade’s age. He was 18 and she was 17 and 1/2. He got three years on probation. He’d like to get his felony dropped so he could own a riffle and go hunting. All his appeals for clemency have failed. That happened over 40 years ago. Why can’t the state restore people like him to full rights as citizens?
Thank you for reading this ex-con in revolt. Our government has wasted so many millions of dollars in the past and continues to do so. They have changed laws for their own likings, which I believe are illegal. Most of all, Mike Crabtree has experienced such a criminal act against him, possibly by the DOC. Feel free to share my blog with your friends. Maybe if more people knew, the state would take action (hopefully not against me). I mailed a copy of this Ex-con in Revoke to our governor, Tony Evers.
