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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

True, but he was 12 years old though, Basically, he knew right from wrong. I get he's a kid, but he lured two others boys in on his scheme. He should get counseling, but I don't want him back on the street ever. He needs to do his time. Basically, it was premeditated ad he knew what he was doing.

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?

I think that if a child is smoking, drinking, banging etc (acting adult) then that's when they should be tried and most kids act like this in their teens..

Can't fix crazy

 

[mohamed]

Someone post the video of the one kid beating up those kids in the day care. This reminded me of that. I blame the parents

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

So the news will name a juvenile charged with a crime but I bet you a million bucks that they'll never name the brand name and manufacturer of the pills he was on.

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

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

im goin to hell...

I immediately thought of Martin when they was aspirin on Tommy and he almost caught them and Martin told Gina, "QUICK! ACT LIKE YA CHILLIN!" And everybody just struck a random pose LOL

Anyway, yes black kids do get charged as adults no matter what. However, he was either on dinner kind of drug or he's a child blooded psychopath.

Plus he killed a cracker so u KNOW he's done.

 

[themadlionsfan]

You all do know that years ago a 13 year old white boy was charged as an adult. There was a show called "Too young to kill". About teenagers and kids who committed murder and charged as an adult. Most of them were white. Not everything is a race issue.

 

[DarcSkies]

SPYING not aspirin smh

 

[stackmaster 313]

There saying he is psychopath now like a Michael Myers or something idk will post the link soon

 

[redhandedbandit]

You do know that plenty of white people have been lynched as well? Does that mean that it was never a race issue when it happened to black people?

 

[obnoxiouslyfresh]

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

He is a child. We grant concessions to children due to the fact they are at various levels of development and their decisions are impaired. He is a kid. His view of reality is skewed. You can not let him loose with no punishment but having his formative years spent in jail is not going to help him or society. He needs help. It's the human thing to do.

Of course it was an issue because blacks were bombarded with images of blacks being lynched plus it was a preferred method of murder. Mainly by white racist organizations. And the number of blacks that were lynched by terrorist groups pale in comparison to the number of whites that were executed by these same terrorist organizations. I don't understand what you're getting at.

 

[themadlionsfan]

You were better off citing the number of blacks serving ridiculously long prison sentences for mandatory minimums to point out the lack of balance in the court system then talking about lynching.

How would you feel if it was your daughter or son that this kid murked?

 

[mryounggun]

Still waiting on someone to give me a number, in terms of what age they feel is too young to be tried as an adult...if you think 12 is old enough.

I honestly don't know. To me it should be a case by case thing. I'm more interested in the mental state of the child.

So you don't have a threshold then? If a 6 year old commits a bad enough crime and you feel like he/she isn't insane, you feel like they should be tried as an adult?

Of course not. It's incomprehensible to me that a 6 year old gets charged. I was thinking somewhere in the mid teens. Somewhere around 16.
