Compassion is synonym with inaction. So many people are “compassionate”, but the ones who really solve all this are the people in the judicial system who put those people behind bars.
I understand your point, but some of these (the 11 year old notwithstanding) have no coming back. Compassion now will just allow them to hurt someone else later.
Just “toss people in jail” is a very USA solution and it just ends with mass incarceration, having more people and nahihger % of people in jail than China, while still having higher crime rates than Europe, and prisoners not having an option to go back to an actual life without crime.
I know that the “but revenge!” attitude feels good, but it hasn’t solved anything in the US for deccades.
