A lot of times the actual criminal is an adult who recruits minors to do the dirty deeds for them.
Minors get off much easier if caught. If successful the minors are happy with bread crumbs thrown to them.
How dare the grandfather of Murphy make the comparison to the Martin/ Zimmerman case.
I don't care if Murphy had a disability, he was on someone's property late at night where he didn't belong. His parents should have had a closer watch over the handicapped minor especially at that time of morning.
These are my opinions based upon the story given by ksdk. Ksdk or any other news source can distort the truth.
Why was this 15 year old out and wandering around at 1:30 in the morning ?
Anyone here old enough to remember the TV ad that came on every night:
"It's 10:00. Do you know where your children are ?"
Maybe we need to bring that back, not that it will do any good in today's society.
That commercial still runs. I hear it from time to time.
It's a good point. Many years ago, I was a juror on a murder trial wherein a bunch of suburban teenagers playing mafia murdered another teenager. As I listened to the events leading up to the actual murder, that's what stood out in my mind the most. These kids, ages 14 to 18, were out all night long, driving around, parents thinking they were at another kid's house but no one really checking to see where they were and what they were doing, and now their precious little pumpkins were all going to be in prison for a very long time.
Shortly after that, there was another incident wherein three teenage boys were out at 2 a.m. and stopped to supposedly just look at a cool car they saw parked along the street. The owner of the car happened to be a loose cannon who looked out his window, saw the kids around his car, assumed they were going to steal it and took his gun and fired at them, hitting one of the teenagers in the head and killing him. Why were 16- and 17-year-old boys out joyriding in the middle of the night?
Of course someone can get into trouble at any time of the day, but it does seem as if you have better odds of surviving to adulthood if you stay in the house in the wee hours, doesn't it. Oh, and it helps if your parents take a few moments out of their day to tell you that theft and murder are wrong.
You could charge the parents for raising a menace to society. Breaking into someones home to rob them or even just to steal is putting your life in jeopardy. Kids and adults have to learn that.
Hello. By doing that, they knowingly and willingly accept the risk that they might be killed.
Although this time it is Grandpa likening his grandson to Trayvon. I guess there are similarities they're both dead. This case may blow up teenager is Black and shooter was White, kid was confronted outside home. This should be all the usual suspects need to make this a crusade.
Hilarious.
The minute I saw the name Demetrius, I knew it was once again one of 0bama's sons.
"Another one of them Trayvon things..........".
