The only thing -- he was 15 years old, it wasn't too late yet to turn him around --- but liberals no longer care about trying to save these kinds of kids.
The future for these kids has these 3 options: prison, death, a job - including a military job. Obama is promising many millions of foreigners coming here illegally the good jobs -- he and no one else is trying to get jobs to Americans who really need them.
Liberals will pretend they care, but all they want is more NAFTA, more export of good American jobs and unlimited immigration of cheap labor. Even the Job Corps program is facing cuts -- no one, certainly not the liberals care. Military is being cut also.
The number of people on here celebrating the death of a 15-year-old is sickening. I hope you folks don't call yourself Christian.
Seems to me they used to crucify thieves in biblical days...
In Christian tradition, Saint Dismas (sometimes spelled Dysmas or only Dimas, or even Dumas), also known as the Good Thief or the Penitent Thief, is the "good thief" described in the Gospel of Luke. This unnamed thief, crucified alongside Jesus, repents of his sins, and asks Jesus to remember him in his kingdom. The name Dismas for this thief dates back to the 12th century, and various traditions have assigned him other names.
Gestas, also spelled Gesmas, is the apocryphal name (first appearing in the Gospel of Nicodemus) given to one of the two thieves who was crucified alongside Jesus. According to legend, Gestas taunted Jesus about not saving himself, while Dismas asked for mercy. Dismas was saved, and Gestas was not.

I'd say Demitrius got off lucky on this one.

So you believe all thieves should get the death penalty? Would that include all the Wall St thieves who nearly bankrupted this country?
Well, the lesson IS a more permanent lesson than others, but it is a lesson. The 17 year old has learned from the lesson.
Wow, what a great way to teach a lesson. Every school teacher should be armed. BAM, headshot. Let that be a lesson to the rest of you, not to forget your homework.
You liberals seem to have no problem with Obama doing it with drone strikes against americans overseas.
I don't have a clue what you are talking about. But as a liberal, that doesn't sound like something I would support, or like something that any other true liberal would support.

Obama is doing absolutely nothing to help troubled American youth. NADA. He's promising wonderful futures to anyone who gets here illegally -- but is turning a deaf ear to the needs of at risk Americans. Kids like this can only be turned around if they are prepared for some kind of job. But Obama plans to give more jobs to those pouring over the borders illegally. There is not much future left for kids like this. Without jobs they face prison or death.
