Thomas? That is an odd name for a "teen."

[null and void]

Necklacing, coming to America...

[laweeks]

I'm sure he was forced into it.

[Arm_Bears]

Hang him.

Now.

Another aspiring "rapper" with a bright future ahead of him. Obama "fundamentally transformed" him and he threw it all away. I guess the liberal "media" couldn't find a baby picture of him for the story.

So, does he get street cred in prison, for setting an old man on fire and killing him that way??

What the heck???? How vicious and cruel can someone be??

[Byron_the_Aussie]

They always have those dead pool eyes.

I saw “teen” and didn’t even have to look. Just looked to verify that I was right.

[PLMerite]

I’m dying to hear the “motive” behind this.

Does Alabama have a “robust” death penalty?

[KSCITYBOY]

Not a lot going on behind those eyes.

WD40 and a match for his hair. Nuts in a vice until execution day.

Why do all these guys look like they have an IQ of 65? Is it the eyelids? the vacant stare?

[ilovesarah2012]

Look at the eyes. Nothing.

[Mr. K]

let me at this SOB...

[Gaffer]

In my word this “teenager” would not have even made it to his booking photo.

[Hojczyk]

Burn him alive

[Mr. K]

It’s mostly because they have an IQ of about 65

In the good old days the Sherrif would go out for lunch and leave the keys to the cell in his office, so some mysterious force of nature would drag this piece of trash outside and see how he enjoys the same treatment he gave the old man.

It’s as if they are vying for most vicious way to kill another human. Much akin to the ‘knock out’ game of recent past.
