    Criminals are people, too; yet we lock them up in prisons for years. It's not a 'realisation' that is particularly relevant in this context.

    If you want anecdotes, look to the readiness of "senior citizens" to march and gather in protest in the United States and Japan on conservative planks and for self-advocacy.
    I'd also add that the young may be more impulsive, and that they presumably have more hormones raging in their blood.

    Justice system works on a principle of reforming offenders and separating those who are proven dangerous to society from society.

    It is not about locking people up just because they are from a different country.

    No one would be locked up for being from a different country. The rationale for the internment camps has already been provided.

    Been provided a few times in history, I don't agree with your solution to the refugee problem.

    There aren't any refugees, and there certainly isn't a refugee problem. Husar says so. We can just carry on as normal.
