We are currently going through this mini crime-wave in our neighborhood (something to do with ‘the final stages of transition’). Anyway in order to show solidarity, or something to that extent, the local neighborhood keeners are starting this ‘orange hat’ walk. You know, the whole orange hat thing is great in terms of people getting out there and making a difference but all I can think is “orange hats, damn I bet those are ugly”.

Moving on from the orange hats, crime waves are really scary in this country. When I’m out late at night walking my dog up in Canada I make sure I always have a good sturdy stick in mind in case I get accosted by a bear but here, well a big stick doesn’t do much against five fourteen year olds with handguns.

Actually the gang of 14 year old hand gun bandits has been caught due to their innate stupidity…which is why I’m concerned about them going to jail. I mean at the moment these kids are ineffective, they tried to rob someone who was out walking his dog and, of course, the guy had nothing on him but poo bags. So anyway they let him continue on his merry way and stayed in the exact same spot waiting for another victim to wander on by. Of course the guy called the police who went directly to the spot where the gang was hanging out and arrested them all.

My problem is this, if these kids get sent to jail they might actually learn something about how to be a criminal…I way prefer them stupid and harmless. Ok maybe one day they’ll grow up and be stupid and dangerous but I think that day will only come sooner if they’re getting private tutoring at the local penitentiary. It is with that in mind that I ask you (my - obviously very bored or why else would you be reading this – readers) to weigh in on the issue…whatever should be done with these stupid kids?
