Is Milwaukee Too Soft on Underage Offenders?
Milwaukee is at risk of duplicating Chicago, Baltimore, and D.C.

It has come to not only my own attention, but most importantly to the attention of that of the victims of carjackings, car theft, and vandalism; that intrepid demands must be made for tough actions and solutions for crime prevention and reduction. These tough actions and solutions must address most importantly the increase in underage offenders.
We must not sensitized the idea of who we are and/or need to be arresting. We shouldn't look with worried eyes at race, religion, or age of the offender; but be more convicted to look towards the truth of justice and law. The long arm of justice and law doesn't cater or lessen itself for any specific origin of a person.
Therefore, let us not continue to duplicate after the likes of Chicago, Baltimore, or D.C. Let us not hand out committee fact sheets and conceal the fear we have of upsetting communities that are concentrated with minorities.
The people want the same amount of justice for all without any doubts. I charge to action that we arose our district attorney offices to prosecute the offenders appropriately. We must also continue to as a community work with those who are commissioned to carry out the law.
Let's do this for the victims who are 74-80 year old married couples, 31 year old females out for a cup of coffee, 21 year old females who are just sitting inside of their Honda Civics minding their own business, and also for those 69 year old females who shop regularly at Walmart. Let us be accountable and resist piecemeal ideas.

I propose ideas that are built on the rationale and logic of the people only.
