It looks like they made arrests. I wish I could serve on the jury!! The sad part is that they are too young for the death penalty, but I would sure try to make them an exception!!

At 16 and 17 years old, they probably will be tried as adults.

I am of the opinion that anyone who uses a gun to commit a crime should be tried as an adult. You wanna play with big boy toys? You gotta pay the big boy price!

If they are indeed under age, shouldn't their Mommas and Granmommas be charged as accomplices? Their Mommas' sperm donors should be charged as well...if anyone knows who they be or where they be at.

Thanks. There used to be a 'delete' X; however, I no longer have the X. Did I edit it out of my profile or what?

The "X" button is only there if yours is the last post in the thread. As soon as someone, including you, adds another post it disappears.

Not for me. :mrgreen:

If we see them or have someone requests via PM that a duplicate post be deleted, then the Mods will do it. :tiphat:
