- whatshisface 5y ago>James Tubbs, who committed the crime in 2014 when he was 17 That's probably what the DA is thinking when making that decision.
- jimmygrapes 5y agoEvery decision he's made that gets press seems to indicate that his mind is firmly in the realm of "those who commit crimes are the most victimized because of their life circumstances and societal ills" in a Rousseau-esque view of humanity as essentially good until other bad humans make somebody act bad. It's a romantic view that, in my opinion, would only apply if we started humanity from the beginning; it's too late for it, now.
