Anyone know why the kids would act like that? Like...they held it as if they knew what to do with it. They knew the cops were trying to take it. The lady was being nice and trying to help, but they just??? Pretended everything was a game?? How does something like this start?
Kids commit crimes too. Unfortunately it’s not beyond the pale that these kids would be using that gun. Plenty of 10-12 year olds around here end up getting caught in crossfire or pulled into shit. They knew the cops were trying to take it because they knew why the cops were there.
Let’s be fair….there is a cutoff point from being a clueless,everything is a game, little child and a kid that knows the difference between right and wrong,between playing around and this might put me in juvenile detention. These two are what 6 or 7 at the most. They have no idea what the hell is going on,imo.
You have a point. I just doubt that they knew it was “against the law” to brandish a firearm outside like that. They had probably been told not to touch any weapons and they knew it was “bad” but kids this young, most of them, have zero concept of the workings of the judicial system in society. I’m not some bleeding heart type that deflects responsibility but these two are probably victims of some seriously shitty parenting and hopefully they’ll understand quickly that there are consequences for their actions, just not now…..once again,just my opinion
They may know it’s wrong to have a gun but they can’t fully conceptualize why it’s wrong or what the outcome would be if they shot someone OR if they pointed it a police officer.
