Was he tried as an adult?
What does “teen” really mean?
How can one not know that shooting someone is wrong?
I believe all my children knew not to shoot anyone in the face at a far earlier age than 14. Even with Nerf guns, they were taught the general rules of gun safety, along with the Nerf gun rules that you don’t shoot anyone in the face or groin area.
a long time ago, one of my employees, a super hot Romanian 20 something gymnast came bursting into my office after lunch in tears almost incoherent explaining that another employee had taken her bra off in the parking lot.
he came in a few minutes later all proud of himself cause he made her Plymouth Duster look so much better, and said he helped save her paint too.
I am not even going to go where any Taco stories might lead/
Seems unlikely. Pablo can’t legally possess a firearm in public like that.

Pretty sure I knew it was wrong to shoot someone in the face at a very early age.
Even before the Gun Control Act of 1968.
I will however modify that to “usually wrong”.
Those wacky teens and their crazy hijinks. Never a dull moment!
Teens shooting people in the face has been part and parcel of growing up in America for at least 230 years. Stop the judgment.
When the perps start targeting the politicos and their families, then they will be screaming for more police support.
Never kill the owner of a roach coach. They have the best food ever.
I will not judge other cultures and the time-honored traditions by which they choose to settle disagreements, one with the other.
To do otherwise would be to impose white culture and colonialism upon the oppressed peoples of our multicultural nation.
So, which gang was lil’ Obama trying to get initiated into? Seems like those older gangstas could be charged.
Doesn’t matter he will be free to continue his life of crime, they lock no one up
One of Joe’s?.
