William, you may want to check, just read they have transferred him from juvi to adult court! Would be interesting to know the facts!

Thanks!

REGARDING:
“The only remaining problem I see is one of ego – this punk will enjoy a high status among convicts for his “struggle” against Law Enforcement.”

Assuming prison time for this poor innocent child (three years younger than seventeen year old boys, who we have decided are innocent), his ego might take a blow if some of the other inmated decide he is pretty enough.

No human life is worthless including the out of control teen thug in question. That’s the liberal theory.

“Poor misunderstood youth,” (sarcasm).

No deputies injured – no civilian (criminals) killed; a good day’s work for LEOs regardless of how messy it turned out to be in getting there.

The only remaining problem I see is one of ego – this punk will enjoy a high status among convicts for his “struggle” against Law Enforcement.

Try him as an adult and send him to Railford and he’s just been sent to advanced criminal school. About 5 years of solitary confinement ought to teach him some civility.

Or not.

If you take into account the cost of a bullet and the wear and tear on the gun, you would lose money killing this dirtbag. I just wish the Deputy would have had a better aim. Now he will be out of jail soon and some other law men will have to deal with him.

I don’t have the answers to all the troubled youth, we have so many that ruin their lives. A parent can do the best they can raising children just to see them run all the bad roads.
Many times I have read HATE THE SIN NOT THE SINNER, on the webb site from various post. It’s really hard to hold that line ain’t it folks. It’s funny how one topic can vary with opinions from kind loving forgiving to kill him put him away no tolerence.

Looks like none of us are perfect, I already knew That I was far from it. That’s why I attend a church with less than perfect people and we know it.

I don’t believe the officer ‘gave up his gun.’ I believe the article said the kid wrestled it away from him.

There are rules/policies/procedures against giving up your gun; there are also rules against stealing cars and speeding. There are policies and procedures regarding firearms use, i.e., when, how, where, etc., too. I guess the violator forgot the rules, huh?

Yes, they teach weapon retention in the academy. However, if you want to simulate the event, put an egg in your ’strong hand’ and try to wrestle/subdue someone with your ‘weak hand’ who is trying to take that egg away from you. Don’t break the egg, don’t give it up, and don’t lose the struggle. That’ll give you an idea.

Believe me, these officers will be highly scrutinized for their actions. There will be lots of things running through their heads for a long time.

I agree. There is too much personal “judgement” in every comment section of every news source I have ever seen.

When I was a student nurse in Psychiatric affiliation, I worked on a locked ward for about 5 weeks. There was a little senior citizen there who couldn’t have weighed more than 80 pounds, soaking wet, who one minute I saw, standing there, with her arms fully extended and her hands folded, swaying from side to side, singing, “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” A few minutes later, I witnessed 5 grown men trying to put her in a straitjacket, for she had gone nuts, and had super human strength. I won’t even tell you what she did in her padded cell. You wouldn’t believe me anyway. That is when I realized that not all that is called mental illness is mental illness as we have always known it to be. Anyone besides me believe in demon possession.? Maybe we who think the officer was not what he should have been in this, need to go to the jail and meet this 14 year old teenager. You might see something you didn’t believe exists.
