    Quote me where I defended him...or stop with the strawman.

    Yet still you can't say the same harsh words that you said about Tyree King to Brock Turner.

    You just can't type it can you? Can you be consistent on this or is there a reason why you don't seem to think that Brock Turner isn't a career criminal that deserves to be shot? I can play your game too. You only call people career criminals when they aren't the right race.

    I mean is it that hard to just call Brock Turner a career criminal?

    That's it, he's arguing against his strawman and that only. No one came in here and defended the 13 year old.

    I guess not saying "HE DESERVES DEATH!" is defending someone in his mind.

    If you're out on the streets robbing people and understand the concept then you're definitely a criminal.

    This thread should be more about 13 year olds out on streets robbing people. Where are his parents, why is he out this late? We need law and order!

    The moment this thread was submitted, the OP should've known exactly how this would play out.

    Saying someone deserved to die is completely different than he shooting him was procedure. The fact that I have to explain that is so ****ing absurd. What do you think happens to certain records after you turn 18? Hint, it has to do with the fact that kids under 18, let alone 13 year olds...have a very poorly developed frontal lobe when compared to adults. They can't make rational and thought out decisions when it comes to stuff like this.

    Can anybody name one of the 50 unarmed white men shot by police in 2015? How about the unarmed, young, deaf white man Daniel Kevin Harris shot by a black cop in Charlotte, NC a couple of weeks ago?

    Um, probably because a taser is only effective from up to 30 feet away at most I'm guessing?

    There's a difference between wanting the kid to die and thinking he deserved it. I don't want any kid to die, but by his actions of armed robbery and drawing a weapon on police, he did kinda deserve it if you ask me.

    Thank you for some semblance of empathy. Apparently that's too much to ask from some posters.

    Applicable to no other cases: the kid was going around jacking multiple(?) people with a fake gun (when it's pointed at you, most people don't know/care that it's fake). Then the cops found him, kid still has a gun, bad things went down, and he got shot. How is that resolution not kinda predictable?

    Admittedly, I may be missing something, feel free to fill me in.

    Horrible thing all the way around.

    Yup... I don't think any rational person would blame the cops in this situation. It wasn't like the Tamir Rice shooting where the officers could have EASILY avoided killing the kid by not driving RIGHT UP TO an alleged armed individual.

    The US is a third world country if you look at crime rate, prison rate, illiteracy, poverty and probably children committing crimes too.

    As far as this incident goes, terrible, horrible, tragic and just sad. A 13 year old shot MULTIPLE times. Are they trained to kill or are they supposed to shoot without killing? Aim for the arm / leg for humanity's sake. Probably biased because the child had dark skin tone. So sorry for this family.

    Oh wow. I say the kid deserved to die and get hounded but when this guy says it he gets a pat on the back? I see you're still doing good work on the double standards Clutchfans.

    Nah, he never said it was a good thing he died.

    You said "Good, he deserved it." which sounds celebratory that he was killed.

    I don't get you. Do you agree he deserved it but you think it's a bad thing that he got what he deserved?

    The kid die largely as a consequences of his actions.

    No kid, this young, deserve to die. Our legal system already said that, even for murderer. Our modern understanding knows that kids can make massive mistakes because well, they are kids and their brain and emotion aren't developed. Most kids will grow up and mature. There is a pretty good chance of that. Perhaps the 'deserve' to die here is because some (or 2) people feel that this kid wouldn't ever grow up and mature.
