That attitude is exactly the problem though. These kids getting hit with a 30 year sentence bothers those of us who relate, when the same thing happens to young black inner city kids every day. Plenty of them are just as intelligent, risky, and bold as these kids but we throw them in prison for the best parts of their life without a second thought.

They will not get hit with a 30 year sentence.

That's violent crime though, which is more obviously bad, even to a teenager. If you're 17 and intentionally kill someone then your brain is broken and you should be kept away from innocent people forever unless you really have some delayed development that comes later.

Why do you assume black kids are being put away for violent crimes? Mostly it’s drug possession, and they get hit with years while a white kid caught for exactly the same drug and amount gets off with a warning “to avoid ruining his future.”
