Whatever their past, the sad truth is these children are unsalvageable. The best thing we can do is whatever we must to protect others from them for as long as legally possible. There you go with your favorite logical fallacy - hasty generalization. How do you know that all of the children who have had an unfortunate childhoods are unsalvageable? Here's a list of people who would most likely have fallen into your unsalvageable category.Once again the granularity of your post needs work.

I can’t wrap my head around how kids this young become that violent and jaded to life. This can’t be the first time they killed. I've really nothing of substance or insightful to add, but this just makes my skin crawl. Your comment added far more to the conversation than the bigot directly below you.

Imagine if we had 600K-1M per year more of these unwanted children roaming the streets. We are already getting there and not for the reason you are implying. Since 2021, migrant children have been traveling alone to the United States in record numbers: Nearly 400,000 children have crossed the southern border by themselves, most of them fleeing extreme poverty. The only issue I have with this is that migrants commit crimes at a lesser rate than US citizens do. www.npr.org/2024/03/08/1237103158/immigrants-are-less-likely-to-commit-crimes-than-us-born-americans-studies-findBut I agree with your point. Children bring brought into this world/country should be done so by responsible, loving parents. If parents are going to allow their children to become murderous animals like the kids in this story, don't have them in the first place.

Unbelievable. So young and so hardened. I can’t wrap my head around it. Why has DC been spiraling while Baltimore street crime has been decreasing? I join you in this. I can't imagine little kids doing this at all, but three little girls is even more difficult.

Part of me wants to say they didn't know the consequences of their actions, but then another part of me wants to say they absolutely knew what they were doing, especially as I read some of the more grotesque details of the story.

I am going to assume that the gang affiliation has something to do with it. The gang’s brainwash these kids quickly and efficiently. We as a society need to do a better job or getting rid of gangs and giving these youngsters a realistic and visible opportunity to a better life.

Show me where I said that all of the immigrants would commit more crime than citizens. You can't because I never said that. You're one of those people who is so anxious to insert yourself into a conversation that when you don't have anything relevant to say on the topic at hand you make stuff up.

As I've said before, my son works for DJS with children like these girls. Some have tried to turn their lives around only to have the authorities release them back into the same hellholes they were living in before they entered juvenile services. It gets harder and harder to reach them each time they return but thank God he has been successful in a lot of cases over the years.

Let’s not make this thread the place to debate illegal immigration. It has nothing to do with the crime in question

Good grief. It’s like wolves took human form. Wolves don't kill for pleasure, only humans

First abortion, now immigration. Stop. Immigration comments will be deleted as well.
This story is sick, tragic, and absolutely horrifying. Reading the description of the attack was terrifying, that poor man. I hope the video is never released and I hope the attackers are locked away forever.

Being that they're juveniles, it's highly likely they don't serve 10 years.

What an awful possibility.

What an awful possibility. Oh they absolutely take advantage of this already. They make juveniles drug mules, weapons smugglers, etc. They may be evil but they're not stupid.
