'Kids and a gun': The untold case of an Omaha boy, shot dead and left on a Wyoming road
Omaha World Herald ^ | December 11, 2021 | Todd Cooper

Posted on 12/11/2021 7:22:02 AM PST by Mean Daddy

Each of the three South Omaha teens was at a tender age: 19, 17, 15.

Jose Antonio Ramos, 19, was dabbling on the edges of hard drugs and the Sureños gang. The 17-year-old, Marcos Garza-Calderon, was on probation for methamphetamine possession and was posting pictures of himself on Facebook wearing a Tupac shirt and flashing gang signs, the butt of a handgun near his pocket.

The 15-year-old, Manuel Gijon-Villa, was just finishing up his sophomore year at Bryan High School and hanging out with the two older teens.

They were friends. Close enough to be hanging out in the same car on Mother’s Day 2020. Close enough to apparently have gotten high together. Close enough to be passing around a sawed-off shotgun. Close enough to be another example of the deadly consequences of, as one prosecutor put it, “kids and a gun.”

Few details have been reported on the May 2020 death of Manuel. The arrest warrant for the killing was never unsealed. The 15-year-old’s death generated little more than a story online in Wyoming and later, once the teens’ hometown was discovered, a blurb in Omaha.

I think we found Alec Baldwin's armorer: They were alternately passing around the gun inside the car near 33rd and L Streets and pointing it at each other. Ramos assured his friends it was empty.

NONE of those are a “tender age”.

Just some all American boys in an all American town.

" . . . was posting pictures of himself on Facebook wearing a Tupac shirt and flashing gang signs, the butt of a handgun near his pocket."

Which apparently did not violate Facebook's vaunted "community standards." But a video criticizing vaccine mandates would probably be taken down.

Doing drugs and “playing” with a sawed off shotgun in what appears to be a stolen car.

I don’t think the real problem was “Three kids and a gun”, but rather the fact that they were “dabbling on the edges of hard drug use and the Sureños gang”, using meth and flashing gang signs. They drove at least 150 miles to the Wyoming line to dump the body. They don’t sound too ‘tender’ to me.

Those are the new breed of Americanos.

Chicanos who innocently shoot others.

That’s where I stopped reading. BS was already too deep. How many Marines on Iwo Jim were 19? Or 17 or 18? No wonder newspapers think they need a subsidy from the Regime.

More to the story.

Forensics indicated body had been moved.

He met with his gf after the shooting and before leaving car abandoned.

Curiosity led me to glance through the article at the link. It is a wall to wall effort, in my opinion, to sugarcoat the activities and character of three putrid people.

The readership of Omaha should be offended at this brazen insult to their intelligence.

Was there any spin ?

Illegals, invaders, other culture, wasted souls, feral humanoids that never will amount to anything but a burden on a society where they don’t belong. At least decent people will not have to deal with one of them anymore.

No sympathy. Don’t care just as long as they stay away from mine and me. Just so much trash to me.

Remember when America was low crime and English speaking before the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA)?

“tender age”

Getting shot with a sawed off shot gun will make you tender no matter what your age.

It hasn’t been low crime and English speaking since the 1960s

Virginia was still low crime, reliably Republican and English speaking until George W. Bush was President.

I guess the invasion took that long to reach us here.

“NONE of those are a “tender age”.”

Sure ain’t.
I was doing a man’s work by age 13.
I had uncles that started as young as 9. The Jews historically considered 13 the age of majority for a boy.
This thing of being a “minor” until age 18 is a modern construct that I disagree with.
Old enough to do the crime?
Old enough to do the time.

NONE of those sound like Omaha names. Or Wyoming names either.
