What are you doing about supporting this bill, Bob? If you want to get serious about this, people expect every level of government to be involved in this. I'm very happy to say that I have listened to the voices on the ground. People who rejected those voices and turned their back now want to interject and pretend they have some reasonable part in this.

This has been tearing apart of our communities, and this bill seeks to end the cycle of youth crime. We have seen this become a key recruitment tool. Kids as young as eight years old are watching these videos and then coming out and doing copycat versions of their own, committing the crimes.
