TWENTY FOUR???!!!

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - There’s a new effort to increase the age of those served by the Shelby County Juvenile Court system to 24.

State Senator Raumesh Akbari and State Representative GA Hardaway, both from Memphis, sponsored legislation that, if passed, would create a pilot program that would allow juvenile court judges in Davidson and Shelby Counties to keep someone in the juvenile court system until they reach their mid-20′s.

  1. They use minors to conduct carjackings b/c the kids get off with Juvi hall and a slap on the wrists... so, yeah, Jartavious should totally get probation at 23 for his 9th offense. Because he's just a kid.
    The irony is, if they were just honest, everyone would vote for it.
    "Your honor, this boy is just stupid, and don't know no better, because the last 3 generations of his family have not have a male head-of-household or father figure anywhere in the family tree since Carl killed himself with a heroin OD after he got back from Vietnam in 1973."

  2. It's another part of the plan to completely immunize black criminals from accountability. You see, it's necessary in order to make up for all those times in the past when black criminals were held accountable. Wait... did I just say the quiet part out loud?

  3. 18 year olds stormed the beaches at Normandy. But we need to make sure 22 year old Latrell isn't put in a bad spot in life with an adult carjacking charge.
    In Tennessee.

  4. Senator Raumesh Akbari you say. Well that tracks with the Arab 'Juvenile dependents' allowed asylum here and in Europe that are described elsewhere and by other observers as "Military Age Males".

    1. But she isn't an "Arab". Father was Iranian, mother is an American black.

  5. Another attempt to make Davidson and Shelby Counties "Special". The other one this legislative session was an attempt to negate "permitless carry" in these two counties; that is, you still have to have a HCL in order to pack here, resident or not.

  6. the radio station I listen to has reported that a young "woman" had given birth and the baby didn't survive ---due to her inability to comprehend the situation, and the accompanying stress.

    this is the argument of her defense.
    and yes, that demographic that immediately comes to mind.

  7. In California, the maximum age that a person can be kept in the juvenile system is 25.

    1. Yeah, but CYA isn't juvenile hall. They're regular prisons.

    2. If that's so, then nobody in CA under the age of 26 should be afforded "adult" rights.

    3. rickn8or, criminals over 18 aren't sentenced to California Youth Authority prisons, they go to big boy prisons. The CYA facilities are for those sentenced as juveniles but their time runs past their 18th birthday.

  8. Cool. Now make it illegal for anyone under the age of 24 to sign for a student loan (or any loan); get a tattoo; receive "gender-affirming" care such as hormone treatments, puberty blockers or genital surgery; buy cigarettes or vaping equipment; buy alcohol; enter into a binding legal contract; take prescription drugs without parental consent (including birth control pills); consent to any medical procedure (including abortion); consent to sex; or get married.

  9. "alternatives to locking up young offenders"

    FFS. By every imaginable measure you're well into adulthood when you're in your mid 20s. Hell, I took extra schooling and was at a well paying job for 3 years by the time I was 24.

    These are the same people who think your kids can decide their gender before kindergarten and should be able to vote in their mid teens.
