Judge Steve Teske: Making Adults Mad – When Did That Become a Crime? Lookingback 40 years and recalling the blood flowing profusely from my mouth, I now understand why my Mom frowned every time I asked her for a Daisy BB gun. I often think of this moment, and several others in my childhood, when sitting on the bench or deciding diversion and informal adjustment policies for the court. I look back and I am convinced that adolescents are wired to do stupid things, and I did plenty of stupid things as a teenager – but I was never arrested or referred to juvenile court. Why is it that most of the cases referred to my court are kids who make us mad, the kids who were never arrested or referred in my day, and not the kids who scare us? http://journalismfor.us/JJIE/2010/10/judge-steve-teske-making-adults-mad-when-did-that-become-crime/ |

Lest I let my tinfoil hat show:
conformity seems to be the major worldview/doctrine pushed upon children in government-run public schools (which is where the majority of young people get their schooling). Failure to wholeheartedly embrace that conformity must be sought out and punished. We're better at it now than we were when y'all were kids. I'm not saying it's some intentional NWO conspiracy; it's entirely possible it's a phenomenon that's grown organically out of flawed human beings making compromises and not doing their jobs with perfect idealism and efficiency. That plus maybe the slow creeping spread of nanny-statism. |

I've been in juvenile WAY WAY too much lately...  They are making this adult mad. He's right there's tons of stuff I did that is now criminal. We need to take back our schools and school boards so they don't call the cops on every knife or "bullying".One problem is that there are insane sociopathic 10 year olds out there. Maybe they're just fucked in an existential sense or maybe they've been beaten, raped and abused their whole life existence. Whatever the reason behind it they are still making others miserable. What do you do with a 10 year old who smothers a 2 month old infant on purpose? My first reaction is to put him down and end the cycle. We pay teachers to teach, and have a very costly criminal justice system to deal with everything else. Teachers aren't supposed to be a surrogate parent for every "precious" delivery out of a meth-addled whore's vagina. That being said I did a *lot* of stupid shit when I was a kid. But I never stole, injured anyone, damaged property. That's the difference, you can do stupid shit to endanger yourself, and society really won't care. But do stupid shit to the peril of others and you're going to get in trouble. |

Well actually... Go ask any group of taxpayers and/or teachers where a teacher's responsibility ends. I don't mind subsidizing reduced lunch, but beyond that I wash my hands. I'll leave the world of juris prudence to you, counselor. The people in this country are fed up with the bullshit and fed up with government. Incomes vs. taxes are about to come seriously unhinged with this QE2, and the tolerance for fuckstick children disrupting a class of 30 kids is going to a close like a guillotine, the courts be damned. |
