Teens arrested on gun charges ruin mom's Christmas

Yet anonther "tough guy" with a gun. "I've got a gun! I'm strong and invincible! Do you want to mess with a tough guy like me?"

http://www.freep.com/news/locway/gun9e_20041209.htm

The mothers of both the teen who committed the gun assault, and of the other teen who tried to hide the gun from the police, had similar reactions. Not reactions to the crimes their kids have committed, but rather to the amount of the bond.

Teens charged in gun incident; moms bemoan bond

"The mothers of two Detroit teens charged Wednesday with threatening people with a gun after a high school basketball game had similar reactions to what they considered high bonds set by a Family Court referee."

"It's too close to Christmas to try to come up with $1,000," said the mother of one of the 16-year-olds charged.

"Well, there goes our Christmas," said the mother of the other teen, who has to come up with $500 to bond her son out of the Wayne County Juvenile Detention Facility.

Telling the female staff at the detention facility to suck their ____s probably isn't going to help the boys much either.

Here's my solution to the high bond problem: Leave the punks in the juvenile detention facility. Let them do something stupid in there and get themselves sent to the big house when they're 18. Problem partially solved. What do we do about the mothers though?
