“three unidentified Black males”

Because the AP stylebook requires that if you use 'teens' you must also add the phrases "just turning his life around", "on the way to teach Sunday school", "getting ready to go to community college", and optionally, "aspiring rapper".

Because as much as they support reparation theft and urban riots, they don't want to be seen as encouraging underage drinking. Only "teens" who are 18 or 19 can legally drink.

Because you have to be at least 21 to steal alcohol. It’s the law. < /S>

Why, dsrtsage, I am shocked! You think a black teen who is under aged would venture into a liquor store where he is not allowed to buy anything?
