“three teenagers’

I saw no pics at the site. hmmmm.

[stockpirate]

Sadly nothing will happen to them

[Twotone]

Teenagers...they won’t release names OR pics.

Is this poor, poor misunderstood aspiring rap star/future brain surgeon, who was just turning his life around out on own recognizance yet?

The people who run NYC didn’t have a problem with her being killed, as it clearly wasn’t a ‘hate crime’, by their definition. The BIG PROBLEM for them was the fallout from the killing, and its potential effect on downstream ‘revenue engines’ (a little toll road lingo).

In fact, I suspect the Mayor’s Office was getting threats, maybe from Barnard itself, to simply pull out of NYC if nothing gets done.

So they arrest this ‘slightly misguided young chap’ (a little liberal lingo) and plan a trial, maybe 18 months down the road...after things cool off regarding their ‘revenue engines’, and then let him go. It’s difficult to see any other outcome here.

Attitudinal female naively provokes killers by assuming feminine superiority

[Chainmail]

It is interesting that no one seems to notice that we have young barely teenagers out late at night robbing people and occasionally killing them.

Is this the "new normal"?

[Chainmail]

“peo” = “people”

[The people have spoken]

They’ll be out by age 21.

Is this the "new normal"?

In Obama's America, YES. It's not like these criminals would ever have a chance to find decent jobs, like rap music or drug dealer. It's all part of the "1.5% economic growth, those jobs aren't coming back, gimme dat" mentality that fuels the need to vote for failed policies again and again and so on, expecting better results after the next election.

What would Getz had done?

A young Amish lad?

Barnard student Tessa Majors' death leads to murder charge against 14-year-old boy

Odd way to write a headline. It is intended to produce sympathy for the perp. As if cops were just looking for someone to blame and settled on a (most likely innocent) child.

"14 year-old charged in death of Barnard student Tessa Majors" would be better.

She was stabbed repeatedly during a struggle.

leftard loons will say: its oppressive society's fault. Need for restorative justice

My nephew is an Assistant District Attorney for the Brownsville area in Brooklyn. I know the area well. It’s black and it’s brutal.

He tells me stories of incredible and horrific violence on a regular basis.

What a way for a people to live.

The victim, sad, pretty girl

The suspects

Betting the 14 year old perp was highly offended at being called “boy”.
