As two teenagers face murder charges in an alleged intentional hit-and-run that killed a retired police chief who was biking in Las Vegas, the victim's family is reeling from the "cold and callous" way he died.
Andreas "Andy" Probst, 64, a former police chief for Bell, California, died after a vehicle slammed into him while riding in a designated bike lane last month, authorities said. Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill called it a "senseless murder," with the two suspects accused of intentionally striking Probst and then leaving him for dead.
The two teens -- Jesus Ayala, 18, and Jzamir Keys, 16 -- are accused of committing a series of crimes the morning of Aug. 14 -- four car thefts and three hit-and-runs, including the one that killed Probst, authorities said.
Both have been charged with murder with use of a deadly weapon, battery with use of a deadly weapon and attempted murder with use of a deadly weapon. Ayala, who is accused of driving a stolen Hyundai Electra during Probst's alleged hit-and-run, is also charged with leaving the scene of a crash and possession of a stolen vehicle, among other charges

They very much know the difference between right and wrong.
They are either demon posed or have been turned over to their reprobate minds.
There is a type of mental illness that comes with a variety of crazy that can only be described as evil. Not just evil on the surface but it completely permeates the core of the soul.

Awesome. Now taxpays have to pay for them to live in prison. Hopefully for the rest of their lives, but bleeding heart types will help to get these scumbags out early.
I'm sorry, but I have NO sympathy for them.
Do you know how many kids have a way rougher life than they do, and DONT grow up to kill people on video?
No excuse for these evil little bleeps.

They should be killed. Their age is irrelevant. This isn’t the same moral dilemma as say consent.
Even if these individuals could not comprehend their actions even if they are “children” for their actions constitute such a risk to the greater public that whether or not they understand is totally irrelevant.
For context. If this was my son. I’d pull the trigger myself.

hang 'em from the light posts in city center.
make them an example for everyone to see, and nobody will follow in their footsteps
Remember how they used to deal with pirates? Cage 'em up out of reach, let them starve and then rot right in plain sight.

I'm probably not a good one to ask that question. I wear a t-shirt that says "I know what is wrong with society, we no longer drink from the skulls of our enemies. LOL
But honestly, yes, at least the driver should get the death penalty. We have been too soft on these types of crimes. Your killing people, and videotaping it? How much more evidence do you need, that a human is broken?
