Glad to see SOME form of justice actually occur in this city for once. Should have been life without parole, but oh well... baby steps:

LOL!! YES! I just saw on the news tonite a "rally" at his school in support of him. A teacher said, and I quote "Such a tragedy. He had such a promising future." Yeah right.


He gets what he deserves. Another "rogue" teenager doing nothing but causing havoc and the community thinks he was turning his life around. They are ALWAYS 'turning their life around" Why can't they ever had their lives right in the first place?

What ever happened to skipping school and smoking in the parking lot? Now you have to kill someone to look bad in front of your friends...

I've always wondered that as well. Are you really turning your life around if you're going around killing people?
