if there are 2 shooters both should be charged. For the person who knows the detai think about this, by letting someone get away with a crime you are giving them the chance to commit another crime what if it is against you or yours

You said it “neighbor”. Everybody should stop being so hateful and just pray for these people.

I’ve been reading the coments posted and I have to say that as a christian I can only feel for the family of these boys and I pray for everyone involved. You can’t wish hateful things on people just because they aren’t handling things the way you think they should. The majority of the time these things happen because there have been serious problems in the family environment to begin with and the kids act out getting more an more dangerous as they go for attention, they get involved in drugs and obviously can’t handle it, or sometimes it’s just unexplainable. Either way it’s tragic for everyone concerned and none of them need criticism but instead prayer.
Prayer that they get past this, learn from their mistakes and become responsible citizens of this community instead of a burden.
Prayer that they come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior and to know that when nothing else can get us out of the messes we create in our lives Jesus can and will if you come to him and allow him into your heart.
I will be praying for you.

How torn up was he when he shot the donkey? Obviously not very because he ran and tried to hide.

Guess, you are acting as if the boy who, so far as we have been told, was “along for the ride” is just as guilty as the boy who pulled the trigger and that is just plain ridiculous. The boy who shot the donkey is the one who did it and he is the one who deserves everything that is being said about him. The other boy is an accessory, but he is NOT guilty of taking the jenny’s life or making the baby an orphan. The blame for that lies squarely on the shooter.

Responding to Guest! I happen to know the mother of this boy and I disagree with you. She is not perfect and has never said she was, but she is a good mother. She loves her children as much as any other caring mother. She stands by their side just like a caring Mom would. She tries very hard to direct them in the right way. To me, that says a lot in itself. People should not attack her. Every person makes mistakes and has regrets. That is how you learn. The entire family has had to fight many battles, go through some really tough times, but they still love each other so much. Don’t forget the boys father? I haven’t seen him ever visit those boys or stop by to say hi. The last conversation I had with the mother, the father basically has had nothing to do with these boys in years. The older boy tries to have a relationship with his Dad, but the other boy has gave up trying. Her and her family is going throuh mortal he-l right now. They know this was wrong, but people should leave them alone and stop making this worse on them. The boy and his family is torn up enough over this and needs some time to deal with this.

Withholding information is wrong and illegal also. If you want others to tell the truth, you should also.

Guess Who,
Obviously you know who this person is since you’re using their initials but to be honest you aren’t anymore in the right than those boys are. You should step up and let people know what’s “really” going on if the story is different. Someone getting off scott-free is the same thing as the wrong person going to jail. It really gets under my skin that you know “something” everyone else doesn’t know but won’t let the authorities know. What kind of citizen is that?
I know I would apprecitate it, and I’m sure so would many others.

Guess Who,
Obviously you know this person since you are using their initials but to be honest I don’t think that you are anymore in the right than those boys. You should step up and let everyone know what is “really” going on if you have the information. This is exactly how the wrong people go to jail.

In response to “Confused”. I am hoping that this person (Witness) will come forward on his own and admit his involvement, but the truth will come out soon. Investigators are pretty smart and they will soon see that this witness knows more than what he is telling. It’s wrong what they did, but putting 100% of the blame on his friend only to make himself look innocent is going to backfire on him. I just hope the so-called “Witness” realizes what penalties he is going to suffer from by not being honest. Tell the truth JAN!!!!!!!!!
