He’s talking about children.
The criminal justice system must treat children as children. No more children under age 18 tried in adult courts. No more long mandatory minimum sentences for children. No more criminalizing truancy. No more juveniles housed in adult prisons.

Let's add to that: no more criminalizing people forever in the job market for a crime they've already paid for. Ban the box.

My belief is if you paid your debt to society, you shouldn't continue to be punished for it. Being on parole is a bit different, but even then something has to be done, otherwise, we are just asking for them to go right back into the system.

He removed all the harsh "tough on crime" rhetoric from his website, but many of us remember.

I disagree with this. There are children who commit heinous crimes and shouldn’t be excluded from prosecution just due to the number of years they’ve lived. I have worked with kids for 25 years and I know there are some who need to be imprisoned. Harsh but TRUE.

Agreed! Bernie is pandering for votes at the expense of society’s safety

Totally, Senator. I’m sick of seeing people’s lives ruined over petty crime. They seem to be predominately people of color and low-income as well. I’m sick of providing jobs to half-wits and stormtrooping sociopaths screaming and brandishing weapons over a tail-light

Couldn't have said it better myself

I’m sure you could, but thank you. I’ve been a political-junkie always and I broadcasted in the news/talk format. I’ve worked with cops, and I’ve seen the pathology darken. I’ve watched this society devolve in real-time. Cops are a big problem. Sorry I have to say that.

Bonus Track: I’m an older guy, 50 in November and I’ve been a lefty the whole time. I sounded like a less articulate Bernie at college parties in 1988. I’ve kept the faith, and my music has kept me young and awake. No doubt it’s Bernie. for All of us. ALL of us

Love it!!! Your time has come after all these years lol. Now millions can finally join you in pounding that drum

It’s more validating than anything I could create and have appreciated. I saw Bernie speak in the spring here in LA. I just got over a long illness and was brought here to record. This was an unbelievable day. I want us free from corporate bondage and control through violence.pic.twitter.com/iklaTVm20b

Great picture. I've gotta go out and see him live one of these days.
