In this episode of the TJ Smith Podcast, we delve into the alarming rise of juvenile crime, particularly with recent events at Milford Mill Academy. A loaded gun and a stolen car on school property are just the tip of the iceberg, as we examine the systemic issues allowing such incidents to continue. TJ raises critical questions about the role of policy changes over decades and whether our society has gone too far in the wrong direction trying to accommodate and reform rather than imposing strict consequences. This conversation sparks a dialogue about the societal shift and its impact on our schools' safety and student well-being. Also, within the sports segment, TJ speaks with Rod Woodson about the Ravens’ performance and the pressures on Lamar Jackson. Insights from Stephen A. Smith add to the narrative, providing a comprehensive look at what defines a successful season beyond accolades. Join us for a deep dive into the issues shaping our communities and sports landscapes. TJ Smith is live every weekday from 10:00am-2:00pm ET on WBAL News Radio 1090, FM101.5, and the WBAL Radio App.
