This is the shocking moment a 17-year-old shot a 14-year-old dead on the streets of DC while his mother stood by and did nothing - before he was caught bragging about the shooting online.

Surveillance footage shows the teen, believed to be Lorenzo Thompson, 17, in a black hoodie and balaclava raising a gun outside the Crown gas station at 14th and Euclid streets NW in Columbia Heights at about 11:30pm on November 3.

The woman with red braids and wearing a white coat, believed to be Thompson's mother, watches on but does nothing to diffuse the situation.

Yep. The perpetrator and his victims are just more relatives of Obeyme.

I hope Mom gets charged with something too. These are the people who are always on TV screaming about how “someone is killing our babies.” Well, that someone appears to be your neighbor’s “baby.”

Mom just stands there and watches him shoot. Amazing.

Why is such an everyday occurrence shocking.

I feel that some of these “parents” are proud that they have such aggressive, violent sons....think of all the free stuff they get.

This is an (unfortunately excellent) illustration of the actual problem: Lack of parenting.

BTW, the author of this story needs to go to remedial English for not knowing the difference between diffuse and defuse.

As “shocking” as when a pit bull attacks a baby.

These are the same ones crying their crocodile tears about their precious boy while having a Go Fund Me set up before the kids body reached room temperature. At least 90% (IMO) of that society really has no genetic predilection towards any kind of empathy nor love of anyone or even their own offspring.

No surprise...
Two of the country’s major racial or religious ethnicities are raised from birth to hate and commit violence as the principal cultural contributions to the country’s persona...

The woman in the white jacket (ostensibly the 'mother') was seen wheeling the gunman's scooter back to his home address after the killing.

The mind simply boggles . . .

That area isn’t really the ghetto, either. It’s been quite gentrified.

I would argue that this is not genetic, but learned behavior. Consider Germany in the year 1910. Germany was a civilized society back then. They listened to Beethoven and went to church.

40 years later those same Germans were murdering children and throwing them into ditches. The Nazis learned them well.

How do you diffuse a situation? Pour water on it?

Editing is a lost art.

Actually....

Lots of non U.S. blacks, like from the caribbeans or africa, think U.S. blacks are low class ghetto thugs...
