Personally I'm tired of the "media" not releasing the names because of the age of the little bratt. If you're big enough to commit the crime then we deserve to know who you are - and possibly what idiot(s) brought you into this world.

No because they are juveniles, and are protected.

I think we should be able to make jokes about any person who has a "public" personality. That's the price you pay for fame and that's why Letterman & those guys are around. And I'm not just talking about the nasty ones - you should be able to joke even about Mother Theresa. This is also partially based on the premise of a previous writer (Admiral) who correctly states we shouldn't even take ourselves too seriously.

I think they want to see if they'll get banned or something. Also, it's hard to respond to them...they can act foolish with almost no reprecussions.

Well Anthony: Aside from the fact that you are using the same name as I am and the fact that you are only 14 - I will abstain from making any adverse comment/s on this insight into your "troubled" past. \nYou seem to me to have expressed a need or desire to get these incidents out into the open for whatever reason and that is admirable - I hope that you feel better for doing so.\nLet's just hope you have matured enough to not to make the same mistakes again and work your way to becoming an effective member of your community. Good luck oh name sake of mine.

it surpises me that the police do not film the events like the arrest of the two suspects recently, from helmet cameras to show exactly what has happened, if only to protect themselves etc.\n\nIt is a difficult call when one segment of the community which is clearly identifiable by colour or religion contain members who pose significant threat to the rest of society, because inevitibly there will be accusations of targetting. But it does seem to make sense to stop and search/question more of those perceived to be a threat especially if you have limited resource, or am I wrong?\n\nAs for the heavy handed approach, surely if the ultimate precautions are taken to ensure no one is hurt no 'collateral damage' for example, this is always going to be the result seen from some eyes. The important thing to remember is why they do it. Not because they they are racist or anti this or that, but because litigation and public pressure for the ultimate in standards dictates they go to these lengths. \n\nI don't think they can win, the information they get is often false, flawed and deliberately misleading, but they have to act, just in case. If the press reported in a less sensationalist way I am sure that would help a lot.

Bah I think the kids are to bplame... and tehre parents for letting them put up personal information.\n\nThen again it's a modern trend for suing some one else for something thats your fult...\n\nYou know some one sued a home owner becose he accidently stabed himself on a knife that was laying out the home he BROKE INTO..... WTF....

Since our society has got rid of God, we have turned these people into icons and are encouraged to worship them by the tabloids etc...It's far better to have it like that though because the media can create them, use them to sell goods by advertising with them, and destroy them, shifting loads of newspapers in the process.\n\nThey enjoy their few days of fame and languish in the spotlight, sure it gives them loads of money and attention, but look at the cost and ask yourself, \n\nWhat is it about someone that wants everyone to know them?  \n\nMaybe they are a bit lacking in the first place.

I totally agree with your own opinion, there's not much more I can add to that. I view all humans no matter what age as being a real person and it sickens me when some certain people in this country try to say that a baby is any less of a person than an adult, and thus get less rights making it legal to kill them.

I have to thank you, for the report? Your not insane, the insanity is the children's behavior. Yes they are children, and we as adults have to apply the American laws that are available. These children don't have the capacity or knowledge to act like an adult. You can't fake-it kiddy's. I have a petition to Yahoo right now with alot of support, and it isn't from the children that are trying to rule these pages. You have got to realize this is there method. I propose that you just keep speaking your mind. These children are outside of their forum anyway, Yahoo has a teen & preteen site in here right now. So keep turning them in, and complain as often as you can. Yahoo says that they don't want to supply another Myspace.com thats in court all the time. I don't want any advise from a minor, what would that make me? I am not on their level thank GOD. So please try to help them, and maybe there will be a happy medium, and we adults might be able to talk freely in here.

I actually can´t give you a why NOT , If a person is brave enough to commit ADULT like crimes then they should be tried like adult criminals making exemptions will only make them think they can do whatever they want and keep on with a bad behavior and become worse , like here teens under 16 can not go to jail indeed they do whatever they please. a young criminal (26) said he would have prefered to have a severe punishment earlier so he would have learned his lesson now he can be proud of having a large criminal history from drugs to murder.

I agree with you completely.  If we ignore him then what if he takes his interests else where to get attention and its a little child.  There has to be something.  i have seen him all over the place on this thing and has reported him as much as I can.  He is still on this thing and that pisses me off!  Why wont Yahoo take this serious.  Do something.\njust gets under my skin.

It's always interesting that people who have been fact-raped by the media establishment think it should be so easy to find one man in a world of billions.\n\nNEWSFLASH:  It's not really easy to find people that are wanted. That's just the way it is. It's too easy for people to hide, especially when they have a support system to help them stay hidden. Think of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted ... those people are right here in the United States and they can't find any of them.\n\nEver lost you car keys right in your own house?

It's not that big of a deal.  If you're already committing crimes at age 13, chances are you weren't going to go anywhere in life anyway.  In the business, we call people like you "job security".  You're the reason we'll never be out of work.

Unfortunately in this point in history it seems you're untouchable once you get high enough in the government process. The "Old Boy" network is alive and well. They cover opne another's mistakes constantly. And for the consequences out there the only thing that seems to work is nationalized news exposure. There are no checks and balances anymore. We're definitely a corrupt nation.

I agree with you. these people want to public to notice them...so they become rockstars, comedians, actors etc....but they expect the attention to be on the talent and not their personal lives. People wanna know everything about them, what they wear, who they fucked, their favorite food, even what their farts smell like....because they are famous. they are idolized people wanna be them....so they wanna know about them. Celebs know that no matter how much they try they will never have complete privacy especially in their love lives...Al though I dont agree with the flagging the celebs to take pics of the kids (becasue the kids didn't ask for this life, they were born into it.) Celebrities must realize that they are under a microscope and will be watched...they know that coming in....and if they are so mad about it, they need to stop doing stupid shit. because they will be scrutinized. Its ok for Jane Doe to be married 3 times, then become a lesbo, but not ok for j.Lo (just an example) because no one knows nor cares Jane Doe, but everyone knows who J.Lo is and they wanna know EVERYTHING about her.

YES.  They absolutely should.  This 'minor' shit is completely irrelavant.  They were fully aware of what they were doing at the time they were doing it.  They should be held 100% accountable.  Their parents should NOT be punished, unless they were accomplices.  Our judicial system is absolutely ridiculous.  It's sad.  Seems they defent the criminals and not the victims most of the time.

Too soft on repeat offenders. But by and large kids today don't get away with anything close to what I got away with when I was young. Of course everything fun wasn't illegal then, and you didn't get hauled into court for inconsequential like fighting.
