For the Children

Roxbury pair held in clerk’s killing

Teenagers to be tried as adults, DA says [More]
I guess that's the best we can hope for, since there are no legal provisions to try them as mutants.

Still, Ellen Ratner's not going to be happy...

  1. "Mayor Thomas M. Menino has announced plans to launch a store security program to train store managers and employees in how to react in a robbery."

    The program should be called: VSCV - Voluntary Submission to Criminal Violence.

    Because common sense says we should just give them what they want. Just like we did as a nation with the French, the British, the Algerians, the Spanish, the Mexicans, the Germans, the Germans, the Japanese, & etc., etc,.

    It's always worked, hasn't it? Why change now?

  2. The gang membership or juvenile records of both are irrelevant. They could have just come from Sunday school or choir practice. That would not matter. The seriousness of this murder while committing an armed robbery stands alone.

    Despite the numerous restrictive gun laws in Massachusetts, as a 17 year old and a 16 year old, there is no legal way that either could have procured either the handgun or the ammunition. Yet it still happened.

    Since many in the civilian population are now unarmed, mostly not by choice I suspect, of course they may now be more grateful for the police presence. Is this by design?
