I really can't stop thinking about this case. This is just such a poignant example about our heightened concern over school violence and the disporportionate punishment penalties paid by blacks in this country (particularly in the South).

Kids have been beating each other up at the bike racks for decades. It is wrong and should be punished but not in an adult court. These are kids. The research is pretty clear that these kids will do much worse if waived to the adult system, but who care about that. Right.
