CBS news ^ | April 9, 2016

AUSTIN, Texas - New details are emerging about a homeless 17-year-old who will be charged with murder in the death of a University of Texas dance major in the heart of the bustling campus, police say.

Meechaiel Criner wasn't believed to be a university student and hadn't been living in Austin long. Police Chief Art Acevedo said Friday that Criner could face additional charges in the slaying of 18-year-old Oregon native Haruka Weiser.

CBS News correspondent David Begnaud reported surveillance video showed the suspect following the victim, reaching into his back pocket and pulling out what was described in the arrest warrant as "a shiny rigid object."

The suspect's grandmother told CBS affiliate KSLA that Criner had been under psychiatric care since he was a child. She described him as a well-mannered kid until someone made him mad -- and then he'd snap.

Of course...Family members were shocked to hear of Criner's arrest. While they declined to comment on camera, Criner's grandmother told KSLA News 12 they hadn't seen or heard from him since he left home in August. She said they are trying to figure out who they need to contact to find out what happened. LINK



The article ends by saying Criner's future goals were unclear, "but there is one thing Criner aims to accomplish.

'Every day, I feel people think I'm not capable of much,' Criner said. 'What I want to leave behind is my name. I want them to know who Meechaiel Criner is'."


well, he accomplished that. Prayers to the victim's family

Will the last unmurdered white off him/herself, apologizing for not having done it sooner?

The Death Penalty recidivism rate (additional victims)is Zero.

I rejected the argument years ago that Death Penalty is unjust for the mentally or emotionally challenged.

What is unjust is that ignoring the 99% of the mentally and emotionally challenged whose family work diligently to provide care and supervision to those unfortunates, and most of all the victims who are promptly forgotten, most inhumanely, the innocent second, third, fourth... victims.

I’m not sure of that. Its a matter of what you do with a mentally disabled young person coming of age. The girls will have babies, many who are also mentally disabled. And the boys just hang out until they commit their special crime and are thrown behind bars. They are all going to jail. Its just a matter of when and how many people get hurt first.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? Total incoherence. Clarity is not your strong suit.

'What I want to leave behind is my name. I want them to know who Meechaiel Criner is'."

Too bad no one will know how to pronounce it, you murderous creep.

Criner had been under psychiatric care since he was a child ... a well-mannered kid until someone made him mad -- and then he'd snap.

Yet family members are shocked by his arrest.

Young black men: 3% of the population. 50% of the murder.

I hate to say it but nothing makes a loser guy more angry than a beautiful girl - which this lady was. She doesn’t even have to do anything to piss him off. Just breathe.

Walking to dorm at night, alone, looking at cellphone.

Not being engrossed in the phone might not have made a difference, but then again, it might have.

Kids this age have grown up with these phones and staring at them is like breathing for them. They’re going to need to be taught situational awareness. From the beginning. With an addendum of the Derbyshire talk.

The left made certain that its nearly impossible to keep dangerous deranged people off the streets, just like the left is importing terrorists & drunk driving illegals to live among us.

Why aren't we hunting leftists in the streets?

If there were, I would join them all.

Not because it's rational, but to maintain a clear message that equal, means EQUAL

Thug and dysfunctional family subgroups must never have special privileges.

ALL LIVES in my community MATTER, first and foremost my family's.

So this was a predator stalking an unwary victim, not a lovers’ spat turned deadly?

What he said was that the ability of urban ghetto women to maintain a single, fatherless independent lifestyle via the birthing of multiple illegitimate children in order to qualify for and obtain a maximized amount welfare payments creates negative incentives that result in a dysfunctional, criminal and drug dominated ghetto culture that occasionally explodes out of the ghetto and into mainstream society, usually in the form of a gruesome and senseless act of violent or murder against a young woman. His comment is a bit more concise than my clarification and it captures the absurdity and gestalt of the situation better as well.
