> When a friend asked what she was planning for Thursday, she wrote: “on Thursday we kill all the Mexico’s.”

> Taken to jail, the teen was interrogated and strip-searched, and her parents weren’t allowed to talk to her until the next day,

> A court ordered eight weeks of house arrest, a psychological evaluation and 20 days at an alternative school for the girl.

Wow, 2025 is wild. Police and court should have psychological evaluation instead and maybe some time off without pay to cool off. Protecting children, no matter how many of them they have to traumatize and incarcerate.

If only it weren't so easy for a 13-year-old to get their hands on an automatic weapon, then maybe we could take jokes like "on Thursday we kill all the Mexico’s" more casually.

As well as worrying about how to prevent kids from getting their privacy and freedom of speech violated, maybe we could put some more effort into preventing them from getting shot up in schools so often. Or at LEAST as much effort as we used to with assault weapon bans, which worked.

Until then, thoughts and prayers for their lost privacy and freedom of speech, too.
