Good shooting on the part of the defender. Who knows how many future lives he saved. Too bad the homeowner was killed.

[knarf]

I read the names and don’t need pictures ... I’m obviously a racist for making such a brash assumption.

[mozarky2]

TaHeem and Marquis, huh? Lemme guess...Norwegians, right...?

[Trailerpark Badass]

“I hope kids will take this as a lesson how fast they can ruin their lives and the lives of others.”

Yeah, kids, pre-dawn home invasion murder/robberies might put a blot on your permanent record.

[vladimir998]

Ta Heem and Marquis.

It’s the silly name criminal gang again.

Manatee School District spokeswoman Margi Nanney declined to comment on how the boys may be disciplined by the district, citing confidentiality rules.

Oh, brother. We're talking about murder here, you ditz! What are you going to do, give them detention?

[Radl]

Nope....Scots.

[Tax-chick]

Palmetto High School students Ta Heem Blake, 17, a former running back for the school, and Marquis Sanders, 18,

What do you bet Ta Heem was born when his mother was about 13?

[Tax-chick]

What are you going to do, give them detention?

You don't think students can be expelled from a public school just for murder, do you? Not before they're convicted, at least.

[ConservaTexan]

...Blake’s injuries left him paralyzed with a severed spine.

Usually I would hope for a fatality, but this will do nicely.

TaHeem and Marquis, huh? Lemme guess...Norwegians, right...?

Swedes would be my guess.

[Tax-chick]

And in case you thought that was all the taxpayers had to do, Before the shooting, Safe Children Coalition officials also had looked into the well-being of a baby Blake recently fathered.

[ConservaTexan]

This is still better than sending him to a prison to bulk up in the weightroom.

[Tax-chick]

I agree with that.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

“Marquis Sanders’ arrest on a murder charge in a fatal home invasion Feb. 1 was not his first felony bust, and may lead to a ban on students accused of major crimes playing sports for the school district.”

“I read the names and don’t need pictures . I’m obviously a racist for making such a brash assumption.”

No, you reached a very logical assumption about their race.
Having grown up in Memphis, I can always spot the names.

[rabidralph]

What’s wrong with you? They’re obviously Amish.

Fatality would be better since the taxpayers will have to pay for this a$$hole's care for the rest of his life.
