Arizona - -(Ammoland.com)- Has the use of the word “teenager” by the old media given criminal teens a sense of immunity?
You see it again and again. Trayvon Martin is constantly referred to as a teenager, as though that somehow absolved him of his crimes.
Most male children, who are brought up in intact families, do not become predatory creatures in their teens. But for those who do not have strong, moral, male role models in their lives, especially if this is the default position in their community, predation is a common role.
In a home invasion in Georgia, the homeowner grabbed his gun as his door was broken down. As he confronted the three invaders, they yelled at him.
From wrdw.com:
“The first thing he hollered, we is teenagers, don’t shoot me,” Green said.
Green said he didn’t care what age they were, they were breaking into his home.
“If you are old enough to do a crime, age doesn’t matter. Doesn’t matter whether you’re a teenager, you’re grown. If you can do the crime, your punishment, it shouldn’t matter. I had my gun in my hand and I just started firing at them,” Green said.
A six foot plus 17 year old can be just as dangerous as an older criminal, maybe more. As I read media reports, it seems that being 17 should give some special sort of invulnerability to bullets and jail. The juvenile justice system may give some invulnerability to jail, for a time. But words do not stop bullets.
The “progressive” position seems to be that “children” are inherently good. That is not true. Children are inherently selfish and amoral. In Christianity, this is recognized as original sin. Each child is a wild animal that must be civilized and taught moral virtues. This is much harder to do in a single parent home. If teenagers are told that they are expected to steal, as many media reports seem to imply; and that it is excused because they are “teenagers“, we should not be surprised when large percentages of them become actual criminals.

This makes me ‘Happy’.
Their latest outrageous statements confirm they are nothing more than ghetto trash.
No wonder the thug turned out so dysfunctional
Can't they even speak English correctly? It's "We Be Teenagers, Don't Shoot Me".
Pharrell is halfway there, at least.
Gee...not on my block.
That’s the guy that was caught on tape repeatedly saying “Burn this b*tch done” WOW what a great influence Michael Brown had in his life..no wonder
Pharrell’s behavior on The Voice last night was disgusting, changing the lyrics to “What a Wonderful World” into a protest about Ferguson. The worst is that he involved the two who are on his team in his choice to act out.
I wouldn't give Pharrell too much credit. This sounds like a roundabout way of saying that it's Whitey's fault Brown behaved that way.
This is a step in the right direction. Free your mind, Pharrell...
That’s my take. If someone explained why Brown wound up shot, he might actually get it.
Believe me, if Pharrell wants to make more records, he’ll toe the party line.
Pharrell Williams___ at least he is breaking ranks a bit. I don’t see any other black leader or celebrity going this far
OK - let's arrest his "parents" and charge them in a felony death while committing the crime of being piss-poor examples....
Fine...let’s rephrase...THAT’S WHY THE POLICE WERE CALLED.
Being afraid of the “snitch” label when someone robs you is tantamount to accepting abject tyranny. It would never end. Might as well declare bankruptcy right then...oh, but may go after you anyway.
The answer is to arm yourself and make sure someone robbing you knows that there life may be the price for robbing. Then ensure that the police are made aware that you taken measures to prevent it.
The point is, this big thug got what he deserved. He reaped the consequences of his own actions.
IMHO, Wilson’s actions here were heroic. I pray God’s blessings on him and his family.
Ditto.
“My opinion of Pharrell Williams has gone up several notches”
Same here, except I still just hate that happy song crap.
