Little Brother

Little Brother, Ch 12

Marcus describes the setting at the concert and that there are very young children there. He assumes “No one would do anything too stupid with kids that little in the crowd. No one wanted to see little kids get hurt.” What does this tell us about Marcus and just how naïve he is?

In this section, we see that even with all of his knowledge, Marcus continues to believe that there are lines that will not be crossed. As he finds out, the government is determined to have "complete" control, and there are no age barriers... pepper spray doesn't distinguish between adults and children.... neither do the police.
