Let's see, this armed twelve year old drove a stolen car, what an angel. The tolerance of crime in that community is going to lead to many more instances like this.

The time to get upset is BEFORE your child steals a vehicle and shoots at someone. If the parents had instilled some discipline in their child and made sure he was at home doing chores, homework, or playing ball outside, he wouldn’t have been shot. How hard is that to understand?

“”Even though they were joy riding, it was never that serious for somebody to have to lose their life or for [the car owner] to track down the car the way he did,” said Alicia Henderson, Elias’ sister.”

Elias’s sister should have instilled that attitude in her brother. Stealing a car was not worth someone losing their life over. So, why did he take that risk?

You roll those dice, and you take your chances. He chose poorly by rolling those dice in the first place.

I have no sympathy for people who are killed because think they are entitled to take property from hard-working people just because they want it.

The man should be given an award for stopping all the crimes the kid would have committed.

It’s a shame but his buddies fired first

Nobody wants to shoot a child

Yes, it is that serious. My car is how I do the things I need to do to be able to LIVE, dumb-a$$ bee.

I’m sorry to the car owner that he lost his car temporarily and I’m sorry that he was out in the position of having to take someone’s life. He’s the victim.

<< “I know the car had insurance on it, you know, there’s insurance on his car, but there’s no insurance on my brother’s life to get him back,” said Alicia Henderson, the 29-year-old sister of Elias Armstrong. >>

This family just doesn’t get it, do they? No wonder the 12 year old was out thieving.

It goes on and on and on. Michael Brown, George Floyd, etc. These deaths are sad but families are responsible in many cases. Money doesn’t solve the problem.

Dying is a occupational hazard of being a thief you don’t like that fact don’t steal!
