Video @ the link. Youts. Go team.
Ping.
Having a whole bunch of kids out late at night is a recipe for bad things.
As my mother said, “Nothing good happens after midnight.”
It said it was 11 pm
In my home state high school football games are over by 9 pm.
Not a starter pistol for the cheer leaders?
Santa might not agree.
Based on the headline, would the game have not been ended if the 'teen' had not been apprehended. I can see why a true fan would consider it "extremely serious" if a game was suspended because of an arrest.
PITTSBURGH -- Law enforcement authorities have taken a total of six people into custody in connection with a Wednesday afternoon shooting outside a high school in Pittsburgh.According to the Associated Press, a police spokeswoman said the shooting, which took place after classes ended at Brashear High School, may have stemmed from a drug-related dispute between students last month.
The shooting injured three male students, ages 16 and 17. None were seriously wounded, but the victims didn't immediately cooperate with investigators, the AP said.
Officials at Brashear locked down the school briefly, but students were released to their parents about 90 minutes after the incident.
PITTSBURGH (KDKA/AP) – A young man who was convicted of shooting three students outside of Brashear High School in 2013 was back in court for sentencing Wednesday morning.In February, Anjohnito Willet was found guilty of one count of attempted homicide, but acquitted of two other attempted homicide charges. He was also convicted of multiple counts of aggravated assault and reckless endangerment as well as possession of a firearm by a minor.
On Wednesday morning, he was sentenced to sentenced to 12 to 30 years in prison. The prosecution was seeking a sentence of 20-40 years.
"I feel the sentence was fair given the circumstances and the crimes alleged," said defense attorney Christopher Urbano. "My client does, at this point, maintain his innocence still and plans an appeal at this time."
Judge Jill Rangos told the court she doesn't believe in "throwing the key away when it comes to juveniles." The judge also said she hopes by the time Willet hits his 30s that he'll be mature enough to be out on the streets and safe.
Authorities alleged that Willet shot three students outside Brashear High School in November 2013, firing from a wooded area as they left school. He was 16 at the time of the shootings.
Police said Willet had been attacked in the school in October but refused to press charges, saying "I'll handle this myself."
“It said it was 11 pm”
The game was still going on at 11pm. Have you never attended a school football game? Let’s say the typical game ended at 11:15 pm. It takes about forty minutes to empty the stadium. Kids remain in the parking lot for about an hour. So, we’re after midnight. What do kids with cars do after midnight? I always went straight home, which put me there about 12:30pm. These were gentler times. I’d find out that kids went out and TP’d (toilet paper) homes, destroyed mailboxes, broke windows and stole stuff from rival schools. Sometimes they wrecked their own schools. I don’t think there was much drug use at my school in the early seventies, but there was a lot of binge drinking. Usually, there was at least one fight, without knives or guns. Sometimes someone’s car was wrecked, either from drinking or racing. So, yeah. Nothing good happens after midnight. Or, after late school games. Kids at night are like wired, testosterone driven tomcats.
Is McKeesport the most famous ghetto town in SW Pennsylvania? Or second to We’llkillyinzburg?
ours were over by 10:00 PM.
If you’d rather read the original story instead of a story about the story, the original source is here:
The chicoms are gonna kick our ass.
No description of the shooter, which is, as we have learned, a description of the shooter.
Maybe now that the football game was over that was a starter gun for the track meet next door.
Saying about Detroit a few years ago:
In most places when people hear a loud bang they rush to the window to see if they can see what’s going on.
In Detroit, everyone just immediately hits the floor.
Where the defense attorney can demand the "child" be returned to his concerned mother with an apology.
And a critic can say if RFK,Jr.'s program to get people in physical shape had been followed, the crowd would have run faster and for a greater distance, thus protecting them from gunfire rounds near them. Get in shape.
It’s them again, Yogi.
Not a starter pistol for the cheer leaders?
“Oh my God, they’ve shot him!”
