I dont disagree with this or your "form letter" post. And I think detractors should understand that this a "#notallglowsprouts" situation; many of them will grow up to not be involved in government (or thinktanks or whathaveyou), but it is a fertile captive breeding ground.
All that being said, not gonna handwave or justify harming children, whether it be the spawn of feds or some 8-year-old in the hood that catches a stray bullet because whatever they were just gonna be a nigger gangbanger anyway.
Besides, no point in stanning for a patsy.
