ST. LOUIS — A 14-year-old boy was charged as an adult Tuesday with killing a woman during a 48-hour crime spree last year that included nine carjackings, two ATM robberies and the shooting death of a woman.

Brian Wellington, of Overland, is facing charges of first-degree murder, attempted robbery and two counts of armed criminal action in the death of 38-year-old Kay Johnson in the 4700 block of Compton Avenue.

Charging documents say Wellington and another boy, Deshaun Harris, were riding in a stolen 2019 Nissan sedan on Jan. 24, 2023, when they got out and approached Johnson’s vehicle. Both boys were armed, and Johnson’s daughter was in the car, too.

Wellington approached the driver’s side while Harris walked up to the passenger’s window. They ordered Johnson to get out of the car, but when she didn’t, Harris shot her in the head, charges say.

Please take two seconds, review, edit, and make your postings comprehensible.

So sad. The subhuman animals who killed her should have been put down at birth, smothered in their cradles.

You, one of Obama’s sons if he had sons.

It’s turning into a plague and Biden’s importing them by the millions.

Nope…3 of them. I had a head start and managed to slip in a crowded bar.

Actually, the dollar is doing quite well.

The dollar is losing purchasing power by inflation. That's one reason gold is on the rise, and they can't sell bonds to fund the debt that is out-of-control and it's only getting worse, because no one is doing a darn thing to stem the spending habit.

Sorry, but you're delusional with your statement.

Inappropriate, lame humor alert:
Didn’t Chevy Chase get his wheels stolen in E. St. Louis?

The names tell me all I need to know.

I had a job offer at one of the aircraft companies there. This was right when theGentle Giant riots were going on. I laughed at the recruiter.

[Skooz]

Black on white crime?

Wha ...?

That never happens.

Thomas Horn was talking about this year’s ago. So was Alex Jones.

War On Whites continues, encouraged by the left, ignored by the MSM and GOP.

[Eagles6]

Race of the victim is never mentioned, when victim is White and perps are black.

And the worst part of the “justice” system is that they won’t get the death penalty. Ask not what Jesus would do, but ask what Vlad Teppes would do.

“Sorry, but you’re delusional with your statement.”

??????????????????????????

No reason to get snippy, esp when you’re wrong about the dollar and I’m right.

When a knowledgeable investor talks about the dollar doing well, it refers to the dollar vis-a-vas other currencies, and is irrespective of inflation.

[Robert DeLong]

We rank #9, barely eking out the Canadian dollar

We moved up a position from 2023 when we were ranked 10th

But the reality is that we are only 9-10 because we still have the honor of being the world's reserve currency. Take that honor away and this nation collapses like the house of cards that our politician's have created while enriching themselves.

Next time bring the receipts with you. If you had you would see that we are not that strong, and only prevailing factors make us even a contender at all, but even that is a mirage of epic proportion as our spending surpasses the 120% GDP ration in spending Every 100 days we are adding a trillion to our national debt.

Sorry, but I still stand by my statement. It's no longer a question of if, but rather when. The spending is no longer even being tried to be dealt with. If they follow through with their plan to steal Russia's assets, that implosion will accelerate significantly.

[Chgogal]

Sorry.

“ You, one of Obama’s sons if he had sons.”

Was supposed to read, “Yup, one of Obama’s sons if he had sons.”

comprehension is a two way street, kimosabe.

OK. But you're not gonna like it, as it devastates your naive "argument".

First, a 20 year chart of the US Dollar vis-a-vis other world currencies:

As you can plainly and objectively see, the US Dollar is doing just fine over time, steadily growing, not weakening as you suggest.

However, a strong dollar is not always desirable. A strong dollar makes our goods, services, and financial instruments more expensive to those buying them with other currencies.

Further, your chart of currencies is laughable and pointless. Just because the exchange rate is higher than USD doesn't make it more valuable. That is analogous to saying that Booking.com stock is more valuable than Apple because Booking is selling at $3400 per share while Apple is trading at $165 per share. The reality is that the market cap of Booking is only $116 billion, while Apple is over $2.5 TRILLION.

Use facts instead of data that is irrelevant and out of context.
