Teen charged in 'cold-blooded assassination of a middle-school student'

[Bon mots]

Good thing guns are illegal in Boston or this might have been even uglier.

[AlaskaErik]

The assistant DA should know the difference between assassination and murder. Lincoln and Kennedy were assassinated. This kid was murdered.

[WildWeasel]

The typist was drunk when they made the birth certificate.

[Diogenesis]

No doubt the result of Menino proud failure to
prosecute no more than 18% of Boston homicides.

[DooDahhhh]

Maybe Amish?

[tgusa]

Another reason why I just got my CC. Time to start packing. Thugs like this are walking arguments in favor of the electric chair.

[FES0844]

That’s how they resolve conflict in their culture.

[FreepShop1]

<8i>Does anyone know the ancestry or race of the kids involved, especially Xzeniyeju Chukwuezi???

Obviously an Orthodox Jew who supports the oppression of the poor Palestinian people.

[FreepShop1]

I could eat Alphabet Soup and crap a better name then that!

What a great drinking game!

[FreepShop1]

Xzeniyeju Chukwuezi

God damn Ted Kennedy and his 1965 Immigration Act!

[killjoy]

The 18-year-old accused of gunning down a middle school student at a bus stop

I think he got mad at the kid for making fun of his name.

[johniegrad]

I don;t ebven know how to pronounce; Xzeniyeju Chukwuezi

Eye pthunk yts; pronounsed?" Xanadu Chuck-Woozy.

Mariam Makeba is a cultural icon. Winnie Mandela is a political leech on her ex-husband and an instigator of necklacing. Which apparently is not as bad as waterboarding.

[BenLurkin]

More “hip-hop" culture. Barbarianism has overtaken our cities (and more and more suburban and exurban areas).

[PALIN SMITH]

"Winnie Mandela is a political leech on her ex-husband and an instigator of necklacing. Which apparently is not as bad as waterboarding."

Ahhhh.........the sweet smell of burning rubber......and the carbon footprint too!

[shibumi]

Referring to both of those people as cultural icons was my lame attempt at sarcasm, Winnie Mandela being everything that is wrong with African culture.

Makeba, while certainly talented, is scarcely better, having joined herself, both physically and ideologically to the great cultural luminary Stokley Carmichael, leader of SNCC and Honorary Prime Minister of the Black Panther Party. (There I go again!)

I actually work with a lot of Nigerians (I work at a school district in suburban Houston) and the adults at least have mostly nothing but disgust for “Hip Hop” thug culture. They try very hard to keep their kids from getting mixed up with the native black population that embraces it and sometimes it’s very difficult.

"Everybody knows there are no guns in Boston; they’re illegal!!"

And the shooter couldn't have taken his gun on to school. Schools are "Gun-free Zones".

[wardaddy]

I'm not sure he cares but I get your point which is I'm sure how his handlers would view it.

I think Obama’s racial ambivalence is part of his problem and he is living it out as POTUS.

and it accounts for his obvious arrogant narcissism...that and mom and dad not really being there for him..

“Ahhhh.........the sweet smell of burning rubber......and the carbon footprint too!”

Yea, I think Al Gore got them to make the switch to ethanol so he could use “necklacing” as a carbon credit. If he can figure out something that will have the same effect as tires he'll be able to offset the power bill for his house for an entire month!
