Don't Demonize

Remember back when Conehead said that?

These are CWB articles from just the past few days:

• A 16-year-old boy is charged with committing four robberies on CTA trains and platforms earlier this year, police say. Chicago police arrested the boy yesterday in the 1100 block of South Hamilton, which is where the county’s juvenile justice center is located, suggesting he may have other matters pending.
• Prosecutors have filed charges in connection with three carjackings and robberies that occurred over two days in June, Chicago police said. The accused is a 14-year-old boy.
• A 14-year-old boy was arrested on Thursday to face charges in seven recent robberies of CTA passengers along the Red Line.

Sure seems like a little bit of demonization isn't out of line.
