Did you ever see such a collection of empty faces reflecting empty minds? They look as though they have a collective IQ of maybe 70. Wanna guess how many of them come from a 2 parent family?
The 14-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.
Lost him pretty quick there.
Now they get to be institutionalized....
Earl Betts, 53, Jaquan’s great-uncle, said the teen suffered without a solid father figure.
“There’s a bigger picture. … Yeah, it’s a sad thing,” Betts said. “He was a baby with no direction. ... A child wasn’t given a chance to have any direction.”
No matter what the teen was dealing with, however, Betts said Jaquan shouldn’t have been shot.
“He wasn’t given a chance. He was taken out like a damn dog. He was shot. Over a f------ car. … That’s sad.”
More Ghetto Logic, this article written by a “woman of color”.
It is wrong to charge teenagers with a murder they clearly did not intend to happen and likely never even considered might happen. It is unfair to allow a mistake, a lapse in judgment such as stealing a car, to result in a lifetime label as a violent offender.
Someone they knew died that night. And even in the alleged commission of a crime, they tried to do right by him. They put him in the SUV and stopped to ask a police officer for help. One of them got out with the victim and waited as police administered first aid. Then he was arrested.
The others did what you might expect immature, scared teenagers to do. They fled in the stolen SUV, leading a bevy of law enforcement officials on a high-speed chase from Lake County to Chicago before running out of gas.
For that, they deserve to be punished. They do not deserve to spend decades of their young adult life behind bars for a murder they did not commit.
A smart defense attorney will say that their client is a fricken retard, as the USSC has ruled you can’t sentence a retard to death, because, well, they’re retards.
I don’t suppose “Do you know where you children are” would have helped these kids in the least. They look hardened enough already.
NO ONE has remarked that the other crew members are being charged with murder when the perp was shot by the home owner.
Since when has Lady justice decided to actually LOOK at who's doing what without the vacuum ?
BRAVO, LEO'S.
WINNING !
Yeah, if that crew is on your lawn at 1am skulking around your car, you know they are not the auto club.
