In Waco, a 15-year-old boy has been charged with capital murder and aggravated kidnapping.
The capital murder charge stems from an armed robbery in which the victim was fatally shot.
The aggravated kidnapping charge is based on carjacking a woman with her 2-year-old daughter and forcing her to withdraw money from an ATM. The kidnapping victims were released unharmed.

Get a rope! No, bring ropes for his parents too.

Now,now. Everyone is entitled to a fair, speedy trial before the hanging. Anyway, the Supreme Court has ruled that minors cannot be executed.
No doubt parental drug abuse and abandonment were in the picture.

I dunno'?
Could it be TV and ultra violent computer games? Could it be lack of parenting and a lack of expectations and disicipline? Could it be democrats and liberals and the ACLU and school systems that expect no more than a good show on the Taks test? Is it the courts that rule that it's okay for juveniles do do these things? Where is the age of accountability?
Yes, to this and a question/point in an another thread; the founding fathers, should they be awakened, would be horrified to say the least! (How about the punctuation in this sentence, did I get it right?)

The 18th-century generation was pretty laissez-faire about punctuation. Their use of commas in the 2nd amendment has been a source of conflict for over 200 years.

Suspect must belong to that demographic crowd of future juvenile upstarts the FBI warned of in 1978. Then is now, and a lot of us are unprepared mentally for it. A guy wrote a book about that effect once called Future Shock. Never read it myself, but I get his drift in that newspaper article. It must be time to set the clockwork to orange.
