[BuzzFeed] Five Kids Ages 12 To 16 Have Been Charged With Killing Nashville Musician
- Thread starter Fushichou187
- Start date
well i'm glad that you find me funny... On the other hand, the amount of people wanting to throw people as young as 12 y/o in jail, tried as adults.... that definitely doesn't make me laugh
Kids suck, and fuck em but I get it why people are mad.
People are going to focus on tbe emotional response of the horrible crime these kids could have commited. Understood and fair, I feel it.
However the way they are treated vs Affluenza kid, that kid who raped the 12 year old but "shouldn't have his life ruined" according to the judge, vs that old dude who the judge said the child molested kids were the aggressors...etc.
They are gonna say to themselves, "Well I hate those kids too, why not both? *insert meme*
But it was racist ass Ghandi who said "A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members."
And those members include criminals; like when the feds left a bunch to freeze during last week's cold snap.
But America loves its cops and robbers righteous anger shit only when it comes to minorities (domestic terrorism fine cause mental illness one off, foreign terrorism we should stop and investigate cause its an entire ethic/racial group) so play and rage on I guess?

Is it stranger than the highest-profile killing in years among conservative news outlets being an accident involving a bullet ricocheting off the ground?
The kids deserve to be punished, thats indisputable, just maybe don't insist stupid things like all 5 pulled the trigger and need to go to prison for life or that just one of them could be stopped the whole thing like mob mentality isn't a thing.
I apologize for saying you were out for blood. I was wrong for that.
These sound like some real dumb fuckers to ride around in the car of someone you just shot. They ruined the lives of so many people with this senseless bullshit.
I don't think it's really that strange at the OP not liking the police handling this case a certain way and it becoming any uglier than it already is
We need to stop treating teenagers like they don't know what the fuck murder is or the consequences of taking someones life. I don't care if they are 13 or 31. They knew what they did, they don't deserve a light sentence and smack on the wrist.
Well, one murdered, the rest are accessories, so you can see why some would take issue with "they should all be locked up for life", and disagreeing with that doesn't mean you think they should get a slap on the wrist. But what's the point of keeping someone in jail past 30 if they committed a crime at 13?
Someone here told a story of their brother getting 50 years for armed robbery at 17 (robbing a home and having a shotgun in the trunk). You think that's normal? Is that what you want?
I don't think they stole his car. From the article:
So the teens were in a stolen pick-up, wanted Yorlet's keys (to a different vehicle), he was shot, then the police found the pick-up in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Then the cops arrested the teens inside.
[edit] not exactly right, the teens are alleged to have ditched the pickup at another location and drove a Santa Fe to the Wal-mart.

See the purpose of prison is rehabilitation not punishment, unless the ultimate end goal here is for all murders to spend the rest of their lives in prison. Even when tried as adults the purpose is to rehabilitate them that's why those sentences are limited unless the crime is particularly heinous. So this idea that just because they're kids they deserve no chances of rehabilitation makes no sense. The purpose of prison is ultimately rehabilitation not punishment. Otherwise all your doing is kicking the can down the road, that helps no one.
ah, I thought it was the same truck and they stole it after they shot him
Here's the press release from the police:

I redacted the names because I'm not sure what Era's policy would be.

I think it'd be better if there was a more family / school environment for those kids as opposed to behind bars. I mean they'd still be in a prison with guards and the like, but with people their own age still getting an education and non optional therapy. I don't know if people who commit this type of crime could ever be "normal" again and live a normal life. But they should probably get a chance to try in a protected environment.
But we live in the real world and they'll probably just get thrown in a hole and forgotten about.

Sorry, I was wrong.
Police timeline is this (according to police statement release above):
Teens steal Chevrolet Colorado (location not stated).
Teens take Chevrolet Colorado to victim's house on Torbett St. and attempt to car jack him.
Teens ditch Chevrolet Colorado on Timberland drive.
Teens steal Hyundai Santa Fe in Brentwood.
Police recover Hyundai Santa Fe at Charlotte Pike Wal-Mart parking lot, arrest teens inside Wal-Mart.
I was actually referring to the people talking about "waiting for the facts first" and all the talking points people use in other threads
Yeah, maybe don't send the 12 year olds to the firing squad, lol.
They. Murdered.Someone.
kids or not this is deserves long jail time.

Exactly, but no we immediately condem these kids. Whatever I'll eat that b.s. warning i got. Send them to the firing squad with no trial right?
"The ultimate punishments" huh? Fuck all those kids I guess, they are all a lost cause. None of them could have possibly got wrapped up in some bad shit at a young age and could learn different.
So the penultimate punishment being life? What do you think the 12 and 13 year old were doing exactly when all of this went down?
I mean, I get that we're all picturing our own version of this, but I'm curious about what you picture reading all this.
I think it's understandable to be angry about something like this. I don't think there's any point in telling people to "just calm down".
Threads with whities being "persecuted" or accused of some racial crime
Also seen in threads about sexual assault
"Wait for the facts!" etc
Sometimes it's better not to post than add more noise, especially if all someone has to add is 'lock them up and throw away the key!'
Ah. I thought it was a "whities" being called out on some racial violence not just being "persecuted" thing you were running with.
The difference with all of those is Murder is wrong no matter the age. I remember 13. If I killed someone on purpose, I would expect to go to prison or be locked up in some capacity for a long long time.
I'm not a fan of particeps criminis applying in this instance. Like if a 12 year old is hanging around with a bad crew and was standing there wetting their pants while this went down then they should obviously be punished, but not as harshly.
But whoever was primarily responsible for this should go away for a long, loooong time.

Everyone saying to lock theses kids up and throw away the keys are just as fucking stupid.
That's not how the law works. Unless the kid was white and rich, then they get a "don't do it again" talking to
Won't be surprised if someone posts their names and mugshots because all 5 are certainly guilty of the same murder. Also probably because of racism
So should we murder the child when they're still a child or wait until they're an adult? What's the most honorable thing
The police rounded up five black teens away from the crime scene, I think we can be fairly confident in US law enforcement here. /s
Sorry for the sarcasm, but reading the other comments in this thread, I just have to wonder -maybe there are witnesses and security cameras and physical evidence and the ballistics match etc. etc., but maybe let the state show the public first? Like, we've seen this script before, for decades and decades.
Where would kids tried as adults and convicted of adults even go? Adult jail? That seems so insane to me. A 12 year old potentially being in a cell with a 40 year old who-knows-what. Damn
You need an adult mind to be guilty of an adult crime. Y'know, there's a reason it's "guilty" or "not guilty" and not "guilty" or "innocent," right? You can still do an act and not be guilty of the crime. These kids need rehabilitation, not jailtime.

They shouldn't have released the mugshots. Didn't even bother clicking any links after reading that here. As for trying them as adults, I can't say as I, like I said haven't read much info about this yet. In order to try them as adults they really need to prove what their mental capacity was I think IMO. Regardless there are some very serious obvious underlying issues going on with these kids and needs to be taken care of be it tried as an adult, some sort of psych help, juvenile detention etc.
They are children and should not be tried as adults, including the older ones. They should absolutely be given some sort of chance at still becoming beneficial members of society when they grow into adulthood.their brains are simply not fully developed and fail to grasp the seriousness of some of the actions that they do.
But realistically, it's a safe assumption that this will not happen. It is sad to say that. Their home life's, community and cultures are almost surely broken and led them to this point in their lives. Unless those things are fixed, all of them will probably end up back in trouble with the authorities before they're 25 years old.

So they were able to get guns, steal a vehicle, and then killed a innocent young man in front of his own home. Yeah, no sympathy from me that's for the victim and his loved ones.
I hope they're locked up for a long time.

I wonder what the mental health looks like for all of these kids. That would be where I would start.
Weird, I could have sworn you admitted that your post was satire.
