    Yea people here have their fucking screws in backwards.

    The kid got shot, so they all piled into their stolen SUV, then ran from the cops and finally were caught after a foot chase.

    But the homeowner is responsible for the whole thing?

    That’s fucking stupid.

Under IL law the accomplices are now charged with murder since they were with the deceased. Chicago could use a few more incidents like this one. It will never change gangster behavior, but it eliminates gangsters.

    Seems these youngsters never bothered to familiarize themselves with the quote attrubuted Steinbeck:

    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

    Maybe, just maybe, if they had gone to the hospital first or called for an ambulance, their buddy would have survived.

    They’ll have some years to think about that.

    When I was a kid, the state executioner drove up to the courthouse near me, unloaded his portable electric chair, threw the switch twice, and electrocuted one at a time two kids who were 15 and 16 years old. They were 14 and 15 when one killed a man. The sheriff's dilemma was deciding which one sat down first. The local priest made the decision. He selected the kid who did not pull the trigger so that the other one who did would have to sweat it out longer. They admitted their guilt and showed no remorse.

My Mother used to call juvenile delinquents “hoodlums.” Young people go bad early, often before they become teens. No way to prevent it, but the 75 year old man did help with the cure.
    Sounds like a happy ending. I like the term Jeff Cooper used to use: Goblin.

    Or the one that LawDog uses: Critter.
