Those children should have been sitting at their desks in school, not running in the streets throwing stones at armed soldiers.

It is time the nation woke up and realized that it's not the armed robbers or drug dealers who cause the most economic harm, it's the white collar criminals living in the most expensive homes who have the most impressive resumes who harm us the most.
