ST. LOUIS — A 13-year-old boy is the latest arrest in connection with a suspected attempted carjacking in January that left a woman dead.

On Jan. 24, 38-year-old Kay Johnson was fatally shot while pulling her car into her garage in the 4700 block of Compton Avenue. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Johnson's 14-year-old daughter was in the car with her when she died.

At the time of Johnson's death, St. Louis police said they believed she was one of several victims in a string of recent attempted or confirmed carjackings.

On Friday, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department announced that a 13-year-old boy had been arrested in St. Louis County on suspicion of first-degree murder and robbery in connection with the case.

This comes after a 14-year-old boy was arrested on Jan. 28 in St. Louis County on suspicion of second-degree murder and first-degree robbery in connection to the shooting.

Both teens were being held at the St. Louis County Juvenile Detention Center.

St. Louis police did not release the names of either of the teens.

On Jan. 25, a car that a police source said was wanted in connection Johnson's shooting crashed in St. Louis after a police pursuit. Three suspects, ages 16, 17 and 18, were taken into custody after the crash.

More likely he will do a few months in Juvie jail then get released on probation after which it will be only a short time before he does it again.

Scott Adams has good advice for citizens in St. Louis.

St. Louis? Kim Gardner will let him walk.

Yeah, right?

I've really got to stop doom-scrolling these black-on-white crimes stories on Twitter.

They're demoralizing.

Punishment for this kind of crime needs to have real teeth and hurt bad. That way, the perpetrators will get what they deserve, and it might serve as an object lesson for other young miscreants. There was a carjacking in one of the far north suburbs of Chicago the other day — a nice area. It happened to a pregnant woman in her own driveway. Her toddler was in the back seat. The woman was run over and injured but will survive. The car was found abandoned some distance away. The toddler was out of the car and a bypasser stopped him from wandering into traffic. There could have been a multilevel tragedy, and for what? Make these punks wish they had never been born.

People need to follow Scott Adams’ advice. It’s the only way to survive.

"White people need to get the f*** away from black people. There's no fixing this."

Succinct and to the point.

Execute the little bastard after a fair and speedy trial.


SCOTUS has ruled that no one under 18 is subject to the death penalty. I believe that they also said that ‘life without possibility of parole’ is also out.

Unless MO law has substantially changed since I was involved the juvenile ‘justice’ system, what will happen to the lad is that he’ll be sentenced to a “youth center” to be freed with no criminal record on his 18th birthday. He might well be freed sooner, but certainly no later.

Like Dean Martin said in ROUGH NIGHT IN JERICHO(1967)

“Lock him up. We’ll hang him tomorrow right after the trial!”

Every time I post that on Facebook I get 30 days in FB jail.

I’d really like to see these little bastards get a beat down that they will think about every minute of their lives because it will hurt. Or because they will limp. In this I am 100% color blind.

In related news, the Dilbert guy said some mean words.

“I’m going to back off from being helpful to Black America because it doesn’t seem like it pays off,” Adams said. “The only outcome is I get called a racist … it makes no sense to help Black Americans if you’re White. It’s over. Don’t think it’s worth trying!”

“I’m not saying we should start a war or anything - we should just get away,” he said as he continued discussing race in education and other issues.

Likely related to a committeewoman or muny judge or one of their friends.
In the choir at the AME church.

.....Our side of society (conservatives) has become the “weak” side. Their side of society (Liberals) have become the “strong”. Media, judges and prosecutors are also on “their’ side.

WE (conservatives) still don’t get that WE are in a constant, never ending, now decades long state of war with them. Example: ...referring to democrats as “our friends across the isle”. That’s like referring to the Japanese Dec. 8, 1941 as “our friends across the Pacific”.

This worthless punk should be rounded up with his two biological parents (and/or stepfather or stepmother) and all shot in the head in the Public Square on Live Tv. Do that two or three times and carjacking’s would STOP !!!

To be charged with “second degree” in report.

From the website FindLaw:

First-degree murder usually falls into one of the following two categories:
Premeditated, intentional killings (like stalking someone before murdering them)
Felony murder

Second-degree murder is generally either:

An unplanned, intentional killing (reacting in the heat of the moment when angry)
A death caused by a reckless disregard for human life
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

When carjackers go out in their planned crimes I believe they have made up their minds whether to kill the occupant or occupants or not. Thus, there is premeditation involved with only the name and description of the occupants to be determined.
