(Slight) hyperbole aside, it seems like a week doesn't go by without reading about another brown child or teenager being aged up when the capitalist owned media wants to run cover for wanton government violence against them. This is from the same rotten root that leads to black, indigenous, and immigrant children in the US getting long prison sentences (and in the past, executed) after being tried as adults for crimes that, if they were white, would much more likely see them tried in juvenile court.

Sorry for veering off topic, I happened to recently read a paper on disparities in the US judicial process by race for juvenile defendants, and needed to vent.
