I am sure he was a good boy, who must have felt threatened by that cashier. I am sure he needed that money for school clothes. Or to help him turn his life around.

There seems to be an unaddressed issue. Because people are so afraid to be labeled racist. Black murder rates are insane, 13% of the population is responsible for approximately 50% of all murders in the USA. Figure women and children in the mix and it’s really 3% responsible. This won’t be fixed till that is delt with. Check department of justice statistical analysis your self. Now flame on........

You and math racis.

A cold blooded murderer at 15 years old.Nothing wrong with this kids upbringing(sarcasm).

Ever watch the TV show snapped? It depicts women who murdered their spouses, and it is in its 21st season.

Except that wouldn't work out very well for you. Because guns.

Man, we are far too nice to violent criminals in this country. This young man deserve to be strung up by his testes for what he has done.

Now that was perhaps a bit harsh. We could at least bury him up to his neck on the beach at low tied and let nature do the awful part for us.

We live in truly sick times. My own comment is testament to that.

Agreed

It is heartbreaking to think of those kids

Single females are prime candidates for defensive firearms. In fact, anyone who is capable should carry a firearm.

We can choose to not be victims.

Kill 'em if you catch 'em,NO WOUNDING or capture.

This is horrendous, may she rest in peace and her i hope her children are well cared for.

16,000 deaths from gun violence a year and you all protest the small % of Americans killed by police and Assault rifles???



a reply to: kaylaluv

considering half of American mothers already willingly mutilate their sons genitals I imagine you would get plenty of support for that idea

My thoughts and prayers to those kids whose world was just shattered. ...and for that "child" monster, death row and a needle, or what ever Texas uses.

Armed is all very well and good, but not of much use if you're not trained.

If carry you must (I do), get training from someone with expertise.

It's usually safest to cooperate, but there's always a risk that the robbers may be of the "dead men tell no tales" school of thought. Cooperation can carry almost as much risk as fighting.

When I still worked retail, that's what I was told by the corporate security gal. If you're held up, open the till, back away. That's as far as policy went, after that it was use your own best judgement. Only you can decide the best course of action.

JUST kill them.mpolitical.com...

a reply to: JBurns

Back at you... I agree. This is where anti-gun proponents get it wrong.

This woman's death could've been prevented. Not that it would've been... but could've been if a legally carrying citizen was there.

Statistics say while in line at a register.. Odds are every fifth person is carrying.

Thanks, M. S.

a reply to: mysterioustranger


Ah, I meant to write "working to provide for them" not "prove for them"

Thanks though buddy, I agree it was totally preventable. I just wish someone (including the cashier) would've been there in time to stop it. It is all well and good that the police were able to make an arrest, but it does nothing to bring back that young mother

So true seagull,

Armed is all very well and good, but not of much use if you're not trained.

If carry you must (I do), get training from someone with expertise.

Probably the most important thing about carrying. Not just being able to strap on a weapon, but to use it effectively and safely under stress and put well placed shots on target first

Definitely also agree that cooperation is a little safer than resistance, but there does seem to be more and more of these guys subscribing to the "dead men tell no tales" beliefs

It really makes it a tough choice for people working in a setting involving handling money, because these businesses no doubt try balance the safety of their employee with liability of telling them to fight or cooperate (either way)

Just can't believe how young criminals are nowadays, even a recent incident of a group of teens attempting to rob/kidnap a family's daughter, or the teens who killed the young father by throwing rocks off an overpass. They are killing people at younger ages, and it makes me sick to hear this kind of stuff.

What has happened to our country? It is losing its mind

a reply to: cavtrooper7


Wow, another crazy story involving young perpetrators!

They obviously had no idea they were dealing with a United States Marine. I am happy it worked out so well for the intended victim

All three perpetrators will have matching bullet scars to prove their stupidity.

How much do you want to bet it was so they could get money/items to buy drugs?

a reply to: JBurns

God knows who they might have been now?
WHAT idiocy ..and THE LEFT says don't shoot...

At least he is now in the middle of major withdrawals right now and it will last for weeks torturing him and there's nothing the doctors can do about it. I have family that work in the jail system in a couple of counties the young kids are having major issues after arrest from not having their phone. Yup a stupid phone that he will never again hold in his hand turns out to be a major psychological issue now days. Not a major torture in the big picture but he will never know whats going in the world again.

a reply to: JBurns
That's just so awful. I just feel so bad for all of them: Gabrielle, her six (SIX!!) children, and the perpetrator.

The perp is still a child, ok? Let's keep that in mind. A child whose life is now mesesd up forever.

Can we blame a 15-y-o? Sure we can to some degree. But ultimately, what went wrong here? That's what I struggle with.

JBurns, I hear what you're saying. I hear youu! But the perp is only 15 years old. Not old enough to even vote or join the military. Something went badly wrong here. Is it right for us to call for death, for one who is so, so young? Can you consider that rehabilitation is possible, especialy as the SCOTUS says that life without parole is not acceptable for juveniles? (Ditto with death sentences, I believe -- though I will accept correction.)

JBurns, to explain, we are on much the same page, I feel, but we are not always going to agree. Ok?

a reply to: JBurns

Cannot argue with that, and this is the real tragedy.

We cannot bring anyone back.

a reply to: JustMike

That's because you're a good man, Mike. You're right, something went drastically wrong there. Can you sense the however coming??

However, he still made the conscious decision to end that woman's life. No one forced him to aim that gun, decide to pull the trigger, and actually pull that trigger. For what, a few hundred dollars, at most?

I suppose we can, in some way, mourn what could have been, while decrying the reality of it.

a reply to: JustMike

There's a reason 15 year old boys are considered military age in most of the world.

Not saying it's right. But it is the truth.
