A 15-year-old boy became the first person to be charged with rioting in England after fascist uprisings and looting. The 15-year-old boy knew hatred before he even knew life. What led him to hate immigrants and foreigners? Was he influenced by his environment, or was it his family that pushed him to rebel?
He doesn’t even know what fascism is.
Maybe he doesn’t have any immigrant friends in his life.
If he goes to school, do his teachers and friends at school think in parallel with him?
It is good news for a 15-year-old boy to be punished in terms of knowing that there will be a price to pay for the mistake he made. That boy must first understand this: Other people’s wrongs are not your right. Other people’s right is not your wrong.
If a 15-year-old boy is punished, he will first learn this. Those who use his feelings to produce policies and ideologies will never care about his existence. He will go to prison, he will lose his entire future, but those who use him will continue to live in luxury.
