Black kid kills white kid...no one gives a shit . Such a shame that people care more about proving they are not racist as opposed to seeing that the life of any kid dying(regardless of race) is a total shame and should be mourned for losing life at a young age
Twenty years ago it was 95% then Fox News ruined the entire world by making US media less than 90% center-left.
The town this happened in (Jeannette, PA) is an absolute hole. I live a few towns over from it actually. Used to have a big glass plant and when that shut down the town went down with it. You can't sneeze there without getting your boogers on someone selling heroin or coke. It's not a race thing, the white trash are just as prevalent and bad there as the hood rats. Maybe even worse. It's sad it used to be a real nice town 30-40 years ago.
Going out on a wild limb here and guessing this kid doesn't have the great homelife people ITT seem to think he does, judging by the "he needs to be beat" comments.
These comments are so ignorant. Every child development study that has been done clearly links corporal punishment to increased aggression, drug abuse, crime and violence. But yeah, the murderer probably wasn't abused enough by his parents. Well deduced, guys. (In before an out-pour of irrelevant anecdotes by people trying to defend their terrible parents who clearly never read a single secular book on parenting because they cared THAT MUCH about how you turned out)
As for gun control, the 16 year old wasn't legally in possession of a gun, so it's a pretty silly point to bring up.
I feel like the people that say they were beat as a kid and turned out fine don't really understand that turned out OK in spite of being beat and not because they were beat.
The world isn't coming to anything. We just have access to news stories from all over the country and they get lots of news coverage. In reality murder rates are lower now then they have been in a long time.
Murder rate in 2013 was 4.5/100K. Lowest rate for any given year from last decade is 5.0. Lowest rate from the 90s is 5.7 (with years as high as 9.7 in the early part of the decade). Lowest year in the 80s is 7.9. Lowest rate in the 70s is 7.9.
If the world (well at last the US) is coming to anything it's to less people being murdered but the public posting about it more on facebook and other forms of social media.
Kid was 16 and had a 9mm pistol. He didn't legally have that gun and making that same gun illegal to posses for other people wouldn't stop him from illegally obtaining a gun.
Honestly this just seems like a standard murder case where the killer did something really stupid that's going to make it very easy to convict him.
The kid will not serve 5 years. The murder happened in Pennsylvania and First Degree Murder there gets you life without parole. Now the killer is a minor so there are some more hurdles that you have to jump over to make that happen but the kid is going to get tried as an adult and he is going to be convicted of 1st Degree murder. Other state laws might be different but where he committed the crime he won't be getting out for a while. Also he killed a white person which statistically means he will be punished more severely.
As far as the race arguments go I feel like you guys are missing the point about why people get so upset about the bigger cases. Whether its Treyvon Martin or Michael Brown or Eric Gardner those cases all have something in common, the person that killed them was not convicted of a crime. I'm not saying that was or wasn't the correct decision but what bothers some people is that these people were killed and there was no "justice" for the killer. In this case they have the killer, he has been charged with murder, and he is going to be convicted of murder.

Well the media was all over those story's (Gardner, Brown, and Martin) meanwhile a black cop shoot an unarmed white teen in Utah and yet no rally's no media coverage nothing ,things like this go on everyday
And these story's I can't comment too much on Martin though Gardner was arrested 31 times yet he was still a free man ( what a joke) and Michael Brown 18 years old didn't go to school or have a job and was nothing but a thug who like robbing convenience stores
Yet thousands of black on white crimes happen everyday and the media is completely silent (what a joke other then it's not funny at all )
And the cops who allegedly "murdered" Brown and Gardner well as far as I know both lost there jobs and now because of the media have the Black Panther Party and other blacks out for blood ( white blood)
^ The media is 95% composed of liberals, who come from Universities full of Marxist professors. If you're familiar with Marxism it's pretty easy to understand why this "whites are racist" narrative is pushed. Set the different in-groups of society against one another so we'll accept central planning as some sort of divine equalizer, in truth reducing us all to the level of dogs begging for scraps.
Lol what? Your media is 95% right wing so I don't know where you get that idea from. If you think they're marxists then I don't think you've ever seen an actual marxist before. Even the liberal part of the media is probably just doing it to attract that demographic.
Social media has become too easy to abuse, this being a perfect example, facebook/twitter/instagram (and list goes on) seriously need to rethink (or be legally forced to do so) their m.o. because if a service is available to 'self-promote' then doesn't that service need to either have age-limits or stricter ways to check uploaded images before their posted this way teens/young adults don't have a readily available platform to use. Also, these companies like Twitter etc need to be held responsible if they don't create ways to verify acceptability of images posted.
None of this matters for this case though. If he tried to send the picture and it was blocked the person he killed would be just as dead.
All of these companies do have ways keeping really bad things away. If someone sees something they say it and the video/image gets removed. Doing it any other way isn't practical. Imagine how long it would take for a real person to verify EVERY photo that is uploaded to twitter, facebook, instangram ect. It's not practical and probably not possible.
