Aided by a description and a check of school attendance records to determine who was not in classes Thursday, officers searched for the young suspects and took them into custody, police said.
what description do you figure the police were using here, and who gave such a description?

Where have you been? This story was on the Today Show, and they showed one of the perpetrators, and the other was in silhouette because he was a minor.

So far, all we know is that the mother identified him from a mugshot...I wonder what else they have, if anything.
I bet the 14 year old has already rolled on him to save his own ass from adult jail.

You can still see it. Several other sites copied it probably figuring Facebook would wimp out which is what they are famous for doing.

That is not true. I do not see many pages of black teens that look like that.

No. He is dead meat. This is a small southern town we are talking about. Not Los Angeles with crazy irrational juries. If he did it, he is a goner. And like I said, I bet the cops have already flipped the juvenile.

Idk, that's what I'm saying nobody knows, when did black teens ever get reported in the first report?



If this happens, then this is the result of a racist justice system, pure and simple. We can't persecute him based of the evidence given so far, anybody could have shot him. I see foul play.
If the 14 year old that was with him says "yeah, I saw him do it" and the aunt who's car he was hiding in says "yeah, I saw a gun on him after it happened" and the mother says "yeah, I am sure he is the one", I do not need anymore evidence to say GUILTY as charged.
