HUMBOLDT, Tenn. — A 12-year-old girl in Tennessee has been charged with murder, accused of smothering her 8-year-old cousin as the younger girl slept. A relative said they had been arguing over an iPhone.

A security camera recorded the killing inside the bedroom they shared on July 15 in Humboldt, Tennessee, the county prosecutor said.

The recording shows the older child using bedding to suffocate her cousin as the younger girl slept in the top bunk, Gibson District Attorney Frederick Agee’s statement said. After the child died, “the juvenile cleaned up the victim and repositioned her body,” Agee said.

He said he would petition a judge to prosecute the girl, who turns 13 later this month, in adult court, which would allow for “a lengthier sentence, whether that will be through incarceration or supervision with court-ordered conditions.”

I offer a third, unstated (by you) option:

3. We are skilled at pattern recognition.

But horrible crimes are committed by people of all races, so your claims are a pretense for something else.

But the only pattern you see is the pattern of cherry picking.

The term “you people” means the posters I noticed who were pushing the anti-American agenda to divide our country.

Why did you not see the pattern of horrible crimes committed by white people?

An SUV doesn’t cause accidents, the person behind the steering wheel does.

A firearm doesn’t commit murder, the person holding it does.

Race doesn’t cause crime—it’s the active decision in the human mind that causes crime.

I made no claims, unlike you.

-”””””Why did you not see the pattern of horrible crimes committed by white people?”””””-

The media imprints our population that there is a pattern of “white” crimes, serial killers, interracial rape, interracial violence, mass shootings, white collar crime, and that whites get away with their crimes like traffic violations and get special privileges in bank loans, college acceptance, hiring, punishment in public schools etc.

What are the true patterns in all of those and how do Orientals/Asians, Blacks, and Whites do in those patterns?

I don’t care if she is 12. She does not deserve to keep living.

Two of my grandchildren are 12. Smart, wiser than many adults. Kids at that age are exposed to a lot of media content, much more than when we were kids and only saw cartoons on Saturday mornings. I held back from saying a swear word in front of my daughter and granddaughter, only to hear my daughter say no big deal, they hear much worse swearing on the school playground. Being 12 now is being a mini-adult.

The child is clearly a psychopath who watches a lot of forensic shows.

Correct. And she will be coddled by the ‘justice’ system, at tremendous expense, and then released. Whereupon she will continue to be a tremendous expense and daily threat to humanity.

The proportion of crimes committed by Blacks is massively disproportionate to their percentage of the population. For example, take out blacks and the U.S. has a lower gun homicide rate than Estonia or Poland. With them, it’s the highest in the world.
