I told him what Will McGaughy said about drugs and criminals and punks. Will said there are only 20 or 30 really bad guys in town, the rest are punks who could be straightened out if they had jobs. But State Police Capt. Bobby Henry said it is hard to get kids to switch when they can make so much more peddling drugs. I don't know about the figures, but when it comes to jobs, he's absolutely right.
Jobs are the key.
We have these outside groups coming in hiring these young kids, we can't do too much about it because they are under age. But a lot of them wind up shot, beat up, killed and what have you. I take the stand that when we have juveniles in here, we put the mamas in jail. I believe in locking mamas up. I asked, incredulously.
