Anyone else feel no pity at all for emilio?
He risked dozens of lives driving down the sidewalk drunk, and hit a police car. He was also a thief. He clearly deserved a night in the pokey.
He then allowed a guy to paw him in jail, and hit him more than necessary to defend himself. And he then attacks another inmate for no reason whatsoever.
In reality, he would've been released on bail pretty quickly. Or placed in juvi. But it's hard to feel his six week stay was somehow excessive.
And given that his parents clearly failed in raising him, they have no business complaining about the system.
Finally, it appears he did learn something from his experience, and is unlikely to repeat his behavior. So the apparent point of the film is lost.
