The language used to describe him as less than human is repugnant.

Yes, 12 year olds do a lot of dumb, stupid things.

But what they don't do is carry a loaded gun and steal a car. This kid was very bad news.

And he was his mama's little angel, going to grow up to be a gentle giant and attend college, right after he turned his life around.

My daughter skipped school once in a while. She stole some candy once. She even smoked some weed with her friends. You know what she didn't do? Steal a car and brandish a weapon. See the difference???

He was a freekin' car thief that tried to kill his victim. Repugnant is certainly appropriate for him-and those making excuses for him. Putting this savage down probably saved the lives of a number of future victims. His age is irrelevant, his actions are not.

That has nothing to do with the point I am making in this thread.

Indeed. If he was capable of this at age 12, imagine how he would be over the next twenty years.

Good riddance, and a net positive event to society at large.
