Corporations are people. So the SCOTUS says. And like people, they can be pardoned too, so Trump says.

11 Years Old

Here in the Puget Sound area an 11 year old boy was arrested at a local Middle School (no, not even a High School) for trespassing with knives. That an 11 year old boy, basically a little kid, has to be arrested for knife possession and trespassing is bad, and sad, enough. What it says about society, about some people, parents, children, whatever, in society is awful. But this is even worse.

The same 11 year old was arrested last month for trying to stab a fellow student at the same school. A teacher intervened and stopped it from happening. The attacker fled and was at large for a day before he was turned in by one of his parents and was booked into a local juvenile justice center, for a time.
