He should be forced to shoot his own mother.

“If you chase a criminal, expect more criminal behavior.”

Bingo. If you track your car and find it, stay at a good stand-off distance and call the cops. It’s not worth losing your life over.

Try executing existing laws to their full extent.

“But... aren’t laws supposed to stop these illegal activities?”

Clearly we don’t have enough laws. I think just one more gun law should do the trick.

He should be tried and sentenced as an adult.
Life, leaving the prison only in a casket.

I want the maximum sentence for him, and the family involved. He is 13 years old.

Death Penalty would stop this nonsense.

Jail the parents for life, and the same for the killer AND His buddies. Lock. Throw away key.

Want to play Nancy Drew? Either bring cops or friends with shotguns.

Correct. Long, long ago when I was a teen working at a gas station, the boss had me carry a .32 revolver in my pocket because of shady types frequenting the gas station.

So one day some punks grabbed all the oil cans on display in the center island between gas pumps, and sped off in their car. My boss yells at me to toss him the gun, and he took off in pursuit of the punks. Ten minutes later he comes back, all shook up. Asked him what happened.

He cornered them in a dead end street, and 4 punks jumped out of their car each with their own handgun. My boss jumped back in his car and scrambled to get out of there. Outnumbered and outgunned.

No argument from me. That’s why I prefaced my comment with the disclaimer about the laws of NM. Some states have a lower age limit for certifying juveniles as adults regardless of their crimes.

In the 70s I worked at a juvenile lockup and dealt with two boys who committed murder at the age of 13. Under the laws in effect at the time, they were both released on their 18th birthday.

Albuquerque is statistically not a safe city. Its crime rate of 1,539.68 per 100,000 residents is significantly higher than the national average and is one of the highest crime rates in the nation. Its property crime rate of 4,977.52 per 100,000 residents is also significantly high. Albuquerque has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes. One’s chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 142.

This is how Compton turned into “little Mexico”. This kid and his family might want to go ahead a get preplanned funeral services.

Because it’s a cultural thing.

I think the deterrent value of publicly impaling the little sh!t with his screams as the stake goes in would be a lot greater than the deterrent value of the slap on the wrist that is the maximum penalty a 13 yo murderer will get.

Vlad Tepisch did some stuff right.

13 year old’s lawyer:
“But he’s just a boy.”

People get shot just as dead and women get raped just as violently from juveniles as from older felons.

Only A Lad - Oingo Boingo

[Verse 1]
Johnny was bad, even as a child everybody could tell
Everyone said, “If you don’t get straight, you’ll surely go to Hell!”
But Johnny didn’t care
He was an outlaw by the time that he was ten years old
He didn’t wanna do what he was told
Just a prankster - A juvenile gangster
His teachers didn’t understand, they kicked him out of school
At a tender early age just because
He didn’t want to learn things
Had other interests - He liked to burn things

[Verse 2]
The lady down the block
She had a radio that Johnny wanted oh so bad
So he took it the first chance he had
And then he shot her in the leg
But this is what she said

[Chorus]
(He’s only a lad) You really can’t blame him
(Only a lad) Society made him
(Only a lad) He’s our responsibility
Oh, oh, whoa whoa
(Only a lad) He really couldn’t help it
(Only a lad) He didn’t want to do it
(Only a lad) He’s underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused
Oh, oh, oh, oh whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Oh, whoa whoa whoa

[Verse 3]
His parents gave up, they couldn’t influence his attitude
Nobody could help, the little man had no gratitude
And when he stole the car
Nobody dreamed that he would try to take it so far
He didn’t mean to hit the poor man
Who had to go and die
It made the judge cry

[Chorus]
(Only a lad) He really couldn’t help it
(Only a lad) He didn’t want to do it
(Only a lad) He’s underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused
Oh, oh, oh, oh whoa whoa

[Bridge]
It’s not his fault that he can’t behave
Society’s made him go astray
Perhaps if we’re nice, he’ll go away
Perhaps he’ll go away, he’ll go away-ay

[Chorus]
(Only a lad) You really can’t blame him
(Only a lad) Society made him
(Only a lad) Is he our responsibility?

[Outro]
Hey there, Johnny, you really don’t fool me
You get away with murder and you think it’s funny
You don’t give a damn if we live or if we die
Oh, oh, oh, oh whoa whoa whoa
Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!
Oh, whoa whoa whoa
Oh, whoa whoa whoa, oh-oh
