REGARDING:
“At FOURTEEN years of age, he is most certainly still a child!”

But is he a good child or a bad child?
Or he still such a blank slate that anybody can get him to do anything?

“Every fourteen-year old that I’ve ever known of has been considered a CHILD by everyone else. Obvious Fact.”

And yet millions of children have enough humanity to NOT commit violent acts against helpless adults for personal development.

“At that age, the concept of long-term consequences rarely exists–that part of the brain is not even fully developed. Scientific Fact.”

Not fully developed is not the same as nonexistent. “Scientific Fact” is testable and proven true in every case. This not proven. You are stating a generality as if it must apply anytime and everytime. The research showing continued brain development up to what? age 24? obviously implies freedom of adults should only begin at 25 or so. Bo driving license. No employment. No vote. No drinking. No marriage — definitely NO sex! No leaving home. No right to bear arms, No military service.

“This kid did this stupid crime at the urging of–and likely in search of the approval of –someone else, who was probably driving the vehicle they took off in.”

You are finding someone else guilty without even a trial.

“Hateful, ignorant people should maybe consider keeping their vicious commentary to themselves,”

No freedom of speech?

“those deplorable human traits in their psyche.”

Deplorables for wanting dangerous people out of reach of their loved ones? For voicing their thoughts and fears?

David for less hatred

At FOURTEEN years of age, he is most certainly still a child! Every fourteen-year old that I’ve ever known of has been considered a CHILD by everyone else. Obvious Fact.

This kid did this stupid crime at the urging of–and likely in search of the approval of –someone else, who was probably driving the vehicle they took off in. That person is most likely an ADULT. Charge them with Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor, Accessory To (every charge this boy got), Conspiring To (every charge this boy got), etc. THIS PERSON is society’s biggest problem in this scenario–leading a youngster down a criminal’s path.
Hateful, ignorant people should maybe consider keeping their vicious commentary to themselves, so as not to reveal to the entire world (via the internet) the depths of those deplorable human traits in their psyche.

@Rasheed Jackson I do donate and volunteer I just have compassion as well. Should he be punished? HECK YEAH! You do the crime you do the time.

As far as those who complained about “free programs” think about the NW Florida area. Cantonment doesn’t have a library. There isn’t, to my knowledge, a community center. Why couldn’t the oil monies be used to better these areas?

Someone commented church or school as the program. What if they aren’t near a church? Or, CLUTCH THE PEARLS, they are an atheist? The schools have been a joke since No Child Left Behind started. There are activities there but what if his family is not financially able to have him participate or get him to and/or from functions?

We reap what we sow “Always” it can usually take a little time but like sedition said “He will end up on a coroner’s slab eventually” he most likely won’t get rehab in juvy or prison. If that were the case why to criminals has long rap-sheets? Jesus is the only rehab that will help this you boy at this point. If he doesn’t receive Jesus, then somebody will probably give him Mr. Glock.

My heart goes out to the victim here. But I was thinking the other day we always ask ourselves why why do meet people make the choices they do. Why is there not a mandatory class in Middle School Across the Nation that goes over what could be the actual consequences for breaking the law ie you commit a crime what time and Punishment and money cost of the crime they commit

I agree with Bill , nothing wrong by trying to defuse to the problem. But I am a man. OK we assets things differntly ! So if you want it , you will have to earn it. ..But rest assured it will be the hardest money you ever thought you would get!! Its not the fact that it means that much to me. Its the fact that its not yours and and you cannot have it. . IT is mine. You have No Right to take it! Basic Human Respect.

This would have been a perfect time for me to try and stop this young man from making his life worse I would have tried to talk to him and comfort him explain to him not to do these things and that probably would not work so then I literally would beat him within one inch of his life !!!!!
