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.”

true patriots are not racist...but sometimes the odds are enormous in guessing about crimes...

like sex crimes...I think of a stupid idiot white guy....

as for crime in general , there is a burgeoning white trash society capable of anything.

What I meant was you cherry pick your response to media articles based on their potential to stir emotions.

If you didn’t, then you would comment on the horrible things all races do to others.

Your post #8 is a claim.

We know blacks commit more crimes than whites.

The response of normal patriots is to support law enforcement of these crimes.

But what you’re doing is like a kid in school stirring up emotional reactions of one race against another. It offers no practical solution, but advances the anti-American agenda of the globalists to divide and conquer our nation.

That blacks commit more crimes than whites is obvious to both blacks and whites. But what is the purpose in making passive-aggressive commentary and innuendo stirring up emotions?

The response of normal patriots is to support law enforcement of these crimes.

But what these posters are doing is like 11 year olds in school stirring up emotional reactions of one race against another. It offers no practical solution.

Funny how it advances the anti-American agenda of the globalists to divide and conquer our nation.

What is the race of the members of the cabal—the ones manipulating Americans to hate one another?

The members of the cabal, who kidnap, torture and murder children for their low IQ satanic rituals?

Bizarre response, no wonder you can’t see facts and simple crime statistics and choose instead to accept myths from the left that they use to promote racial division and to gain political power while destroying our nation and blacks.

Interjecting here to support your point...

When I saw the title of this thread, my immediate reaction was to feel deep sorrow for the 8yo child whose life was taken by her own 12yo cousin.

I expected comments expressing horror and discussing the evil in this world.

Instead, most of the comments here are heartless.

This isn’t a story about gangbangers. A little girl was murdered in her sleep.

< real talk>

Ok. I get it.

But I am getting kinda sick of one particular’s race disregard for the sanctity of human life. Yes, other races have individuals with the same disregard, and I can in fact point to glaring examples of that. In the Caucasian community, Germany in the early 1940’s had a horrible disregard. Also, Asians in the 1930’s and 1940’s.

But this is today, and in the Black community, this disregard for the sanctity of human life is pronounced. If they get it together (like we Caucasians did, and like the Japanese did), I’ll be delighted to stop with the Yogi/BooBoo and Amish comments.

In fact, I would be thrilled.

Yes, you can point to current Caucasians and Asians with this disregard, but I believe it was Stalin who said that “Quantity becomes it’s own Quality.” He was talking about tanks, I am talking about numbers of a racial population.

< /real talk>

< back to stereotype talk>

Damned Amish. Yes Boo Boo, it’s always them.

This is a different kind of story. It's not about gangbangers shooting up a neighborhood or carjacking or armed robbery.

It's a different issue. It's about children with homicidal tendencies. Evil children who hurt other children.

This story has more in common with a story posted a year ago about the 12yo girl who murdered her 9yo brother in the middle of the night.

There are many other stories about evil psychopaths 12 & younger, such as the Slender Man case where two 12yo girls nearly stabbed another girl to death.

Yesterday, I saw a story about two boys, only 10 and 11, accused of drowning an 8yo boy.

Fair assessment.

However, my tangential point still stands, ¿non?

But blacks commit more crimes than whites, and the answer is to hold them accountable. It’s the way our Bible-influenced civilization has done it for centuries.

Your acceptance of myths from the left to promote racial division to destroy our nation is sick.

No, it’s not always them.

It’s only them when people go out of their way to look for articles with blacks committing crimes, so that those among us who are easily swayed will fall in with the agenda to destroy our country and chant “Yes, Boo Boo, it’s always them...it’s always them...it’s always them...it’s always them...it’s always them...it’s always them...it’s always them...it’s always them...

Frankly though Lazamataz, you don’t come across as someone easily swayed.

You’re right. It’s nothing but a heartbreaking nightmare.

The fellow in your photo there is himself either slipping into dementia or working for the anti-American deep state.

His previous comments on the topic at hand are demonstrably low IQ.
