    Maybe don’t carjack anyone and put yourself in a position where someone feels threatened enough to do this? By the other article linked, this kid went on a little crime spree and fucked around enough to find out. Sucks for his family, but this was inevitable.

      They were 12 and 13. “Fuck around and find out” they’re children. Get some fucking empathy

        We’re all children. I don’t give a damn how old they were, they fucked around and found out and now they have to face the consequences. Your age, your race, and other things don’t excuse you of the crimes you committed, or attempted to commit.

      Thanks captain obvious.

      “Just stop it or die” isn’t a rally cry I can get behind.

      Kid needed help, not a bullet.

        He decided to trick someone into believing he’s a mortal threat. Victims shouldn’t have to risk their life because you don’t like the result. It’s a tragic outcome, but it’s a story he wrote.

        I hope we can all agree he needed help rather than a bullet.
