Young killers who stay in juvenile court take vastly different paths
AntwortenLöschenChicago Tribune

In 2009, a 14-year-old boy shot and killed another teenager who was riding a bicycle down a suburban street. The boy told police he committed the crime on orders from a high-ranking gang member.
A few months later, police in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood arrested a 15-year-old for a murder that, while unrelated, was notably similar: He too said he shot another young person to prove his allegiance to his gang.
Both teens pleaded guilty. But because Andrew Lorek, the Chicago defendant, had turned 15 two weeks before his crime, he was automatically transferred to adult court, where he was sentenced to 28 years in prison. Now 20, he's due to be released when he's 43.
The other boy's case was handled in juvenile court. He's set to regain his freedom next year, after he turns 21.
The markedly different paths for two teenagers who were both charged with first-degree murder are in large part the result of a decades-old Illinois law that automatically transfers offenders 15 or older to adult court for offenses ranging from the use of a weapon on school grounds to murder.
But as the U.S. Supreme Court, lawmakers and criminal justice experts continue to recognize fundamental differences between adolescents and adults, the country has started to rethink the tough-on-crime policies once touted as vital in combating a surge of youthful "superpredators." That wave never came to pass, most experts agree, and new science mapping the brain development and rehabilitative potential of juveniles replaced those fears and buttressed calls for reform. ...
In a bare room at Menard Correctional Center, Andrew Lorek glanced at the homemade tattoo on his wrist and sighed, saying he hates the emblem of his prior gang affiliation.
In the years before the shooting, Lorek said he was teased for his glasses, chipped tooth and stutter. He began treatment for mental health issues at 11, court records show. Behind every youthful misstep - joining a gang at 12, using drugs and alcohol, stealing cars - was a yearning to belong.
"I was trying to fit in with the crowd because I didn't want to be looked at as uncool or lame or anything like that," he said.
The day he gunned down a man believed to be a rival gang member in 2009 was no different. Lorek said he was working "security" for his gang when he spotted the 19-year-old wearing the wrong colors.
"I panicked," Lorek said. "I emptied the clip."
Lorek had been picked up before for battery, drugs and residential burglary, court records show. His father, a pastor, had moved the family to Bolingbrook, hoping the change of scenery would keep his son out of trouble. ...
"There's no justifying what I've done," he said. "I deserve a punishment for my crime. ... If I knew what I know now, I wouldn't have joined the gang. It's not worth dying over a fading color."
The progression of a juvenile who makes impulsive decisions, particularly at the behest of peers, to an adult who weighs the consequences of his actions, is not uncommon, said Dr. Jay Giedd, a leading neuroscientist who studies adolescent development. The part of the brain needed for impulse control, decision-making and long-term planning generally isn't fully developed until a person's late 20s, he said.
"The capacity for change is amazing," said Giedd, adding there is "no bright line" or age that determines when a person's brain reaches maturity. "It's undeniable that the 25-year-old brain is different than the 16-year-old brain or the 14-year-old brain." ...

About Kipling, and not losing my head
24.01.2016
... Kipling’s promise of becoming “a Man,” too, is not limited to Britain and imperialism, but extends to a wider universality, to an overall human potential. ...
Halil Berktay
The Turkish original of this article was published as Kipling ve aklını kaçırmamak on 17th January 2016.
... Capitalist development over the second half of the 19th century (during what Eric Hobsbawm has called ... The Age of Capital) gave rise to an initial affluence as well as universal education ...
In turn, this led to the question of how to harness and where to channel this new youth’s energies. In an era of rising nationalisms, this meant putting them in the service of the nation-state. “Swedish gymnastics,” for example, emphasizing mass uniformity and coordination, were invented at this time (and brought to Turkey by Selim Sırrı Tarcan). It was also in the same era that special youth and sports festivities were invented ...
Paramilitary youth organizations began to be founded. For Great Britain, this implied the forging of an imperial-nationalist youth that would be well-prepared to stand guard at the frontiers of Empire and fight its distant battles ... In a way, the enthusiasm and theory for this project may be said to have been provided by Kipling through literature, while it was an army man, General Baden-Powell, who came up with the practical and organizational know-how. ...
... [Kipling's literary work around heroes such as Mowgli and Kim, who are familiar with nature and dominate their environment with their intellect] ... served as an ideological foundation for Baden-Powell to set up his first Scouts Organization in 1907. It was followed not only by other states and governments, but also by a proliferation of the youth sections and paramilitary youth organizations of various political parties. This was a way of inserting youth-based violence into militant politics. Over time, there emerged the Black Shirts (squadristi), of Italian Fascism, the Brown Shirts (SA’s) and later the Hitler-Jugend (Hitler Youth) of German Nazism, the Soviet Communist Party’s Komsomol and all other communist youth organizations that it inspired, or Mao’s Red Guards during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. (In Turkey in the heyday of the One Party dictatorship, a notable extension of this trend was the militarization of education, the introduction of compulsory military training into higher education, and the incorporation of Istanbul University students into “training regiments.”)
To go back to Kipling; this is also the context for the “If--” poem of 1895 ... Its starting point seems to be advice for his son John, whom he would proudly send to his Western Front death in World War I (see the tv series My Boy Jack of 2007). But it can also be taken, more generally, as a inaugural lecture for an as yet unfounded Scouts Organization. He goes down the whole list of the Stoical values and code of behavior of the Victorian era ... Resilience come what may. Neither fear of the enemy nor excessive devotion to friends. To evade all extremes, to maintain a sense of balance, not to show one’s feelings. Think of Atatürk’s “Address to Turkish Youth” (1927) that is on the opening pages of every primary-middle-high school textbook ... In a way, this, too, is like Kipling’s address to the British youth of his time. ...
LöschenKipling’s promise of becoming “a Man,” too, is not limited to Britain and imperialism, but extends to a wider universality, to an overall human potential. He puts before us, wherever he might be (and of course it is a he, so no need here for gender-correctness) a certain type of a humble, resilient, self-sufficient, non-ostentatious, in brief a solid and steady modern hero. Like Tennyson’s Ulysses (Odysseus), he issues a positive, affirmative call to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield. ...

He had been on Georgia’s death row since 1996 for beating a man to death
Obituary gives glance into his life, including the ‘horrible mistakes’ he made
It also tells of how he scrounged for food as a boy, grew up under a bridge
On his last day, Bishop asked that people, in his name, contribute to “help the kids at the Methodist home” in Macon, where he had lived for a while as a boy.
On occasion as a child, his mother’s boyfriend forced him to sleep beneath their trailer.
For a time, Bishop lived with his mother under a bridge at the Oconee River in Milledgeville.
“It was kind of like camping,” Bishop once told Gerwig-Moore. “I could go fishing with my brother.”
The cruelties of his childhood had, in later life, become fond memories -- among them the thrown-out green tomatoes he’d hunted.
“They really did go wander around and see what was left out at the trash,” Gerwig-Moore said. “But he didn’t like to talk about the bad things that had happened to him, because he didn’t ever want to be seen as whining about it.”
Bishop once told Gerwig-Moore, “I’d give anything to push a lawn mower again.”
Another time he mentioned with pride that he had earned what he considered a plum prison job: cleaning death row showers.
When the prison cut back on art supplies, he made paints out of floor wax and ink from writing pens. He also took up reading.
“ ‘Anne Frank’ blowed my mind,” Bishop once told some of Gerwig-Moore’s law students who’d gone to visit.
“He wasn’t fake about it,” she said, “and he’s not a saint. I’m sure he had dark times too, but he was so grateful and positive despite what he was living in.”
Three times a year, prisoners are allowed to receive care packages. A friend sent Bishop one in March and in it included something that, for whatever reason, Bishop hung on to. Before his execution, he willed the item to another friend’s daughter: a chocolate candy bar.
“He wanted to be prepared,” Gerwig-Moore said. “And he was – much more prepared than the rest of us were.”
Bishop was buried Tuesday near an oak tree beside a stream at a monastery outside Conyers. He had visited the place on a grade-school field trip years ago.
“It was one of the best days of his life,” Gerwig-Moore said, “because 30 years later he could still remember what the bread tasted like and the fresh honey.”

I'm very grateful that many of us prefer to follow the New Testament and a God who's message is one of love and forgiveness. I'm not saying he didn't need to pay for his error, he did. I don't believe it was justice that he paid with his life. Perhaps he would have served humanity better by being kept in prison for life without parole, so that he could have gotten his message out to other troubled teens.
