Buy, but, but handguns are illegal in Chicago! How can this be? /sarc

[Texas_Jarhead]

hey, he's not old enough to buy a gun so how could this even happen

"I guess he's reacting like any 12-year-old child would act -- he's scared, upset, confused,"

Didn't have a problem acting like an adult while shooting the guy. What's he doing packen in the first place if he wasn't acting like an adult? I have no sympathy for him. I'll leave that for his relatives who I am sure will only have kind words about what a good boy he is.

[Jeff Chandler]

Out in 9 years. No problem.

In that neighborhood shootings over street crap games happen all of the time. Sometimes several times in one night.

[Lancey Howard]

The boy was apparently watching the dice game on the street in the 10400 block of South Maryland shortly after midnight

Yet according to the story, this killer has "parents". Huh.

[Lancey Howard]

I suspect that the dead guy, Deon McGary, has relatives.
This 12-year-old is likely not going to survive very long once he is released from the "protective custody" of jail (or juvenile detention, whatever).

[Westlander]

News ? This is a requirement for Detroit grade school.

[Exton1]

Why is ANY 12 year old on the streets past 8:00 p.m.?
The parents are lousy to let their child out with hoodlums at this hour. They to should be arrested for child abuse.

The boy, a student at Avalon Park Elementary School...

A 12-year old in elementary school? Could be part of the problem here.

[KarinG1]

Where I live it's generally considered in bad taste to continue firing after they fall to the ground.

[FerdieMurphy]

'He's scared, upset'

Poor little boy.

Execute him...quickly!

[neutrino]

Celebrate diversity!

[ThanhPhero]

A judge will decide whether the boy should remain in custody or be released to a parent or guardian

Could be held until 21 years old

This is all so dam absurd.

"I guess he's reacting like any 12-year-old child would act -- he's scared, upset, confused," said the boy's attorney, Steven Fine, who refused to discuss details of the case with a reporter.

So - pulling out a gun and repeatedly shooting someone is "reacting like any 12-year-old?"

I guess we know where the kid gets it from. I wonder if a "parent" is the one who put him up to it in the first place? Just wait until Jessie Jackass decides this is racial persecution and gets the boy tried as a juvenile -

[YourAdHere]

Was he homeschooled? You know those kids can be a problem.

[cynicom]

Confused??? About what? Because it took several shots to down the victim????

[Seamoth]

"I guess he's reacting like any 12-year-old child would act -- he's scared, upset, confused,"

He probably is scared, upset and confused because he has no clue that he did anything wrong... how sad.

----Don't speak for all 12 year olds. Mine at 12 knew better than to murder someone. As far as being scared and confused, he had his wits about him when he shot the man 4 times. Quit molly coddling these little bastards and make them pay for what they did like anybody else.
