“If we would take care of our kids and teach them values they would rarely get into the system!”

We can only teach what we know. Check Senior’s record to see what he knows.

I feel for the guy, I do, but we have got to stop blaming the system! ITs not the system. If we would take care of our kids and teach them values they would rarely get into the system! This guy is bad news, its good he is going away for 20 years! I would guess his parents want him gone too, he did steel their cars… We are having a growing problem in the south end of the county… The cops come round them up for drugs and violent acts, and the thugs are back on the street before the cops get off their shift! This is a society failure, not a law enforcement or system failure! We need more activites that can keep these kids acting like Kids until they are able to make decisions for themselves as some of you have pointed out!

Stealing two cars is a really, really bad choice.
Following up that choice with gun violence, against law enforcement officers, an even worse choice.

Before stealing cars – he should have considered learning how to drive them without crashing.

If he just wanted to ‘run away’ from home – a backpack would have been more than enough.

Well, now he’ll be out of that home, and have a new home for 20 years – with no job, no bills, no worries – everything paid for by You and Me.

He is lucky to be alive – in most places pointing a weapon at someone is an automatic death.

Oh, and any 1st grader would tell him ‘pointing a gun at police is bad’ & ’stealing is bad’ – so it’s not really a question of ‘could he make moral decisions’.

I am sure he wouldn’t want people pointing guns at him, and he wouldn’t want some random stranger to just steal all his stuff – but that is exactly the situation he created.

For everyone who says ‘20 years!’ – they should consider that if he shot the officers, they would have been dead – and stayed dead – for the rest of their lives.
Think about it.

I’m just saying, maybe some of the folks concerned with the “age” and ablity of this “child” to make “moral decisions” should get out of thier safe enviroments and deal first hand with a “child” who made a decision to try to elude law enforcement and then not once but twice attepted to disarm a deputy and held one at gun point. Maybe they should also realize the ‘chiid” was taken into custody, not shot down by deputies who had every reason to belive he had and would try to harm one of them. There have been several incidents in 2010 when ECSO deputies could have used deadly force to terminate an event, yet they should extrahuman restraint. They did the right thing, now it is time for the judical system and society to step up and do the right thing. IF YOU CAN NOT DO THE TIME< DO NOT DO THE CRIME.
