In other words, just admit you're crazy and the state will go easy on you...I read a FR post recently in which the poster commented that Russia is in many ways becoming like America used to be, and America is taking on some of the trappings of the old Soviet Union. He had a good point....
It is past time to quit treating these "kids" with "kid gloves". Some little kid steals a candy bar from the local Conoco station - sure, probation and a slap on the hand the first time. But a kid who brings a gun to school, despite the laws and publicity regarding guns and schools, is up to no good.
Sad to say, but Russia has slipped backwards majorly.
