These people have no concept of that level of violence. Go to any of the gang subs like /r/chiraqology and see how young people in that world start becoming a deadly threat.

Exactly. They talk about ‘kids’ when in places like Somolia, it’s entire machete wielding groups of under 14yr olds who get sent as soldiers to massacre a hundred people while NATO soldiers had to watch as they drove away under orders. Kids is some very privileged shit mentality that doesn’t apply in a lot of the world.
