            They need a team? Sentencing for minors is much much more lenient than once they turn 18. Gangs / kids know this. Young kids in gangs are eager to rise through the ranks, one way to do this is to serve some time to earn respect. So young kids pull the trigger in gang endorsed killings, get sent away for a few short years and come out as legit bad guys. It’s like finishing school.

            The article notes that the guy faced “eight charges, including fishing in a closed area without a licence, selling more than $1 million worth of illegally harvested sea cucumbers and breaching an earlier order where he was forbidden from possessing fishing vessels.” He wasn’t just doing a little fishing without a permit.
