That's just the math.

I'm sorry, I missed where we had any evidence that the kid assaulted anyone, other than hearsay.
Dangerous word, enemy. It negates the person it is applied to. They may have rights, they may even be great people who deserve a good life, but once one names them enemy, one tends to cease to care. The name 'enemy' reduces them to a problem, or a target. It takes away their humanity.
And you seem willing to apply it summarily, for slight cause.
