“Kids” awaiting trial for armed robbery. (The infantilization of teenagers is ridiculous. For most of human history, young men at 15 were fighting wars. If you’re old enough to rob someone with a gun, you’re not a “kid.” Under certain circumstances it also may not be reasonable to treat you like an adult for purposes of the law, but calling the accused a “kid” is a disingenuous way to try to downplay the seriousness of his conduct.)
