12 year old black kid charged as adult murders 9 yr old at playground.

[Melanin_Enriched]

Proof of him having meds in his system tho?

 

[WiseGuyy]

Everything isn't Black & White, He was only Charged as I'm sure any White kid would have been too. I highly doubt he's gonna end up doing life & he probably will end up getting treatment.

But this kid stabbed a random kid multiple times. If he gets a murder charge he deserves it

Serious question for everyone who thinks this is ok. In your own mind, what is the threshold for a child to be too young to be tried as an adult? 10? 7? 5?

Agreed, it's not okay and who ever thinks he shouldn't be in jail is as sick as that 12 year old is.

lol@ "started doin normal stuff.. didnt want to agitate him.."

why i find that hilarious?? iunno. lol & smh

im goin to hell...

Muthafucka started folding clothes and sweeping while the lil boy in his house confessing to killing another kid. Some weird ppl in this world.

But this story is fucked up all the way around. Feel sorry for the kid that didn't see it coming and his fam.

 

[Alkinduz]

Was there a black 67 impala at the scene? If not, we better call Sam n Dean, some supernatural shit is going on son

 

[Alkinduz]

Nah but this is seriously fucked up beyond proportions.....

kid planned to kill, was on meds/wanted to die. He needs to be studied, go to a psycho clinic/prison, we need to know what pills this lil dude was on and how/why he was able to murder like this....this shit doesnt happen overnight

 

[Trillaaaaaa]

Put that lil nigga in the electric chair

 

[Will Munny]

When I was 12 I got mad as hell when my cousin shot frogs with a BB gun. Like wtf that shit was mean I got so fucking mad.

He can't fully grasp the scope and all of the implications of killing someone. At 15-16, you could make a better case to bind him over(move him to adult court). At 12 he's either about to start middle school, or just started. The jump from 12 to 16 is big as fuck. That lil nigga need counseling. He need bootcamp, psych help, and a more stable environment. Give him Juvie life(21) and help him be a man, binding him over at fuckin 12 is retarded. It's a cop out so they don't have to have programs to help these kids. 15-20 years at 12 he's gonna come out more of an animal than he's perceived now. They think puttin that lil dude in jail is going to help, that's like taking a lion, puttin him around other lions, then releasing him to the streets. The recidivism rate is like 60%, basically saying that he's going back to jail more likely than not. Shit by design bruh. He don't even got a chance at life at this point. I'm sorry for the victim but don't take 2 lives.

 

[BangEm_Bart]

Black, Asian, Hispanic, Brown, or White, any kid that does a murder like that should be locked up.

 

[THIRDSUPREME]

Um....did yall read what dude did? Yeah....when you do that....you get tried as an adult, every time. He can plead insanity no doubt....they said he was taking pills. But I don't think dude needs to be on the streets doing shit like that. If he had of stabbed my child I wouldn't be trying to hear shit about leniency.

 

[GorillaWitAttitude]

Fuck the little turd. We should be having sympathy for the 9 year old's parents not this little fuck.

for both

for him to lure them, stab the kid and calmly admit he was taking pills, killed someone and wants to die himself, there's obviously an issue..

he isn't "normal"...

Yeah he's not normal...he's a ruthless little shithead killer. He did the crime and he should do the time. I have no sympathy for this fuck nigga shit boy.

 

[7figz]

Lawhorn ran to a nearby house and called 911 himself, said he had taken pills, had stabbed somebody and wanted to die.

The bolded is a lost gem in the article....

If he was prescribed medication from his doctor and his mom gave it to him and he had no prior history I think he will get off.

Ahhh... the details.

Niggaz sleepin' on that medication.

He needs to be in an institution and off the streets I agree, but ya'll do understand that if he's 12 now, then he gets binded over, and maybe the judge gives him 20 to life. He'll be 32 at his first parole hearing, and there's no guarantee that he'll get out then. How do you even judge if someone has been rehabilitated when he never functioned as an adult in society to begin with. 2 things could happen, he could get out, go back to what he knows which is crime because being in jail you're not exactly around positive people. Or he can be in jail for the rest of his life. i'm not saying he doesn't deserve punishment because the other little boy is never coming back, and that's hard to swallow. I'm saying, they have to figure out where he was failed because at 12 he didn't fail himself.

Not our problem and even though you were responding to CKT I can't agree. He fucked his own life up. I have no sympathy for him.

These dumb niggas don't know shit about brain development or culpability.

Well....if he is still an impulse killer when he turns 18....he'll go to the big boy jail. Hopefully along the way he gets all the treatment he needs. Right now though he needs to be locked up and evaluated.

Everything ain't black and white homie. You gotta respond to the situation in kind, take all the factors into consideration. Why you think you're not allowed to do/sign for nothin until you're 18? Kids can't grasp many of the decisions they make. I feel you if he an adult. But he's a kid, he ain't in control of nothin in his life, and whatever he does at this point is the product of somebody else's teachings, or somebody else's neglect, you don't know what kind of mother he has that might see an unchecked mental disorder as him bein a "badass" and fuckin him up for it. He should be punished, but he needs more rearing than punishment.

I've seen this story, well, not at this tender an age. But i've seen Jail create as many killers as it's locked up. Lil niggas get jammed up for bullshit at 13 and 14, go to Youth Services and come back a pit off the leash. At 12, give him a chance to get it together. You can't just throw him to the wolves and expect him to come back a domesticated collie. Jail doesn't work like that.
