The anti-smoking nazis will gleefully categorize this as a ‘tobacco related death’ for statistical purposes.
Hate crime?? Certainly. Not that it matters though, murder is a bad enough charge.
The kids will cry about how young they are and how their young lives are destroyed by this.
The victim was young too, and now she has no life.
All because 3 young smartasses with a gun were anxious to see what it felt like to kill someone.
(Gruff cowboy voice) Get a rope.
Liberal position check. In this situation, do we blame society or global warming?
There really are no limits to stupidity.
Actually, it was the lack of supervision and parenting of the kids, that lead to their delinquency and the opportunity to “acquire” the guns.
“Todavia”????
Children packing heat and begging strangers for smokes. Getting stoned on Mary Jane and braggin’ about their crimes on social media.
How Urban is that? Someone should write a song.
Well they don't have guns. Gun control laws make that illegal. And everyone know that gun control prevents criminals from having guns. Just as any elected black Democrat.
Beaver County District Attorney Anthony Berosh said they will be tried as adults.
If there is any justice to this they will get the maximum sentence, but I'm guessing that they will be out in about 7 years ready to commit more crimes. These three should be shot as a simple public safety precuation. Murdering filth at 14 does not give much hope for becoming productive citizens when they get out of jail. Too bad they didn't shot a cop, then they would all be killed while resisting arrest.
Todavia? Harmony? One has an alias or an aka? WTH is this? Sounds like the bad guys from a James Bond movie.
Another white woman killed by black guys!
He said hes gotten calls of condolences and apologies from the families of the boys.....Yeah, Todacious ( or whatever) just turned his life around. Don’t press charges.
If it wasn’t for the cigarettes, Kayla Peterson would be alive today.
Bob Costas is a dope.
File under: John Derbyshire was right. Again.
While I feel bad for her family and fiance, I must say that this was an awfully high price to pay for the satisfaction of being able to express your opinion.
People should think twice before initiating a confrontation.
There is an important tactical lesson here.
It is an increasingly common m.o. of “group thugs”, to approach a single person and for *one* of them to engage the person with some conversation, like asking for a cigarette or spare change. This is a ruse.
The others will circle or partially circle their victim, then a different one will try to punch them out. No matter what happens, the rest of the group will then began punching and kicking them, even if they are unconscious.
The tactical response to this is several things, based on the situation.
1) If armed, immediately “confirm” your weapon is ready.
2) Put distance between yourself and the group, not just an individual. Think “group attack”.
3) Do not let yourself be encircled or your path blocked. If they try, brandish your weapon, and escape immediately. If you cannot, brandish and back into a doorway or against a wall so you cannot be attacked from behind.
4) Start yelling, use obscenities, racial epithets, and threats, because they make it clear to attackers and witnesses that you mean business.
5) Select which targets you will defend against in which order, starting with the most aggressive. Typically the more cowardly ones will run away, reducing your targets.
Important note: This is just one aggressive technique being used. Others give little or no warning, so you must be situationally aware.
Some others include a single individual rapidly approaching from behind to hit you on the head with a blunt object; a “purse snatch” type running attack where appear to be running past you, but hit you while passing; and a “wilding mob” that are walking and running in a direction, and looking for targets of opportunity.
