Released to parents for supervision?!! Doesn’t seem like he was supervised very well in the first place. SMDH
RIGHT?
You can say that again! 🗣
This the one👆🏾 yes.
Exactly
I will thinking the same thing. Thank you.
And yet, if it were the judge's kid, then it would be a different story.
Sad weak laws!
czcams.com/video/q29ThIPqAUY/video.html we need change not punishment that’s all he knew it’s all of our fault we leading these kids to doom
Your are so right, the kid definitely would be locked up and probably would get the maximum penalty. This is another example of injustice being done to African Americans. My heart aches for the mother/family of the victim.
Yup
Hell... 😙🚬 it' probably is the Judge's kid 🤔 .....THE Homicidal Child Back-Shooter who aimed and pulled the EFFEN trigger.
Judges have to go by what the law says so it's the law that needs to be changed and probably has been by now
I have an almost 14 year old son and an almost 12 year old son. They BOTH know damn good and well that murder is not only illegal, it’s permanent. He is absolutely old enough to grasp exactly what he has done and he should at least be incarcerated until he is 21 without question. I’m sick of this “justice” system. He was “incompetent”? My ass. 🙄
More like play dumb for leniency. Straight BS
and there was the parental competence, why was he out mixing with various age groups during covid as well, what kind of example is that
And don't forget just MORALY wrong!
Locking him up, and forcing some education on him might help. His parents certainly failed at that. Who's to say he won't do it again?
The justice system is usually loosing people in the system. Check the stats, not just a few cases.
Most kids growing up in certain neighborhoods would defend themselves by all means. So, in the moment, they don’t see murder as wrong.
It’s a sad situation. But don’t jinx your kids. This could happened to anyone, but I hope it doesn’t.
This generation of parents are raising horrible people. They need to be held accountable for bad parenting, a lack of morals, and insufficient supervision. This has to stop.
Every generation has a bad batch sometimes these kids just want to kill
Well YAH said this in the book of Isaiah 3:12 as for My people, children are their oppressors, and women Ryle over them
@@stoneyhighhigh3677no excuses this is america get your child help!!! THERE ARE RESOURCES
Throughout the decades parents have been raising horrible people. The only difference now is that with the advent of social media we are hearing about them more.
Jeffrey Dahmer, Jack the Ripper, John Wayne Gacy, H H Holmes, Ted Bundy springs to mind.
This is true that the parents has something to do with their actions even if they was absent because when you have good parents you may do little bad stuff but never crimes like these
How is 12 not old enough to understand murder is bad?
Remember people, you don't magically know what's right and wrong until you're 18... Also remember you can't be a 19 year old dating a 16 year old but you can be a 50 year old and date a 18 year old. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They Kno any child who handled a gun Kno the outcome because they learn really young what happens threw video game hell so kids 8 and under can drive on interstate highway learning about to drive from video game
@@Talented90s Why only 18?I knew what murder was and i knew dead people can't come back when i was only 6 year old
I think that 12 yr old oder friend did the shooting but they told him to take the fall for them honestly...someone gave him the gun to shoot... who?
Exactly!
This is USUALLY a bad choice that WILL encourage him to murder again. He should be detained in juvenile care for a couple of years with SUSTAINED therapy to give him a fighting chance at rehabilitation. I am telling you this is the wrong choice. I SEE THIS. The intervention here MUST BE DEVESTATINGLY CLEAR.
What's stopping gangs from recruiting 12 year Olds to commit murders knowing that they won't face any real punishment?
Definitely . For a child this will be a gang life bragging right and therefore incentivize him on the path to do it again . They just made the kid the
Toughest thug on the block.
You’re absolutely right!!!!
@DaaamnDia! lol what's the likelihood that I just seen a comment of yours on a Keke Palmer post 5 minutes ago. Small CZcams world I guess. That being said I agree with you. I also believe in rehabilitation & reprogramming. Though I think the boy should be subject to more. Community service obligations maybe or something of the like in an age appropriate setting. My heart goes out to the victim and his family.
They don't really be helping them kids in some of those places, I do agree with you tho.
If he gets off lightly with no consequences, more than likely he’ll reoffend. Give him a few more years, he’ll be back in court. That judge needs to be removed. The judicial system is a joke. What a disgrace and slap in the face of the victim’s family. 🤔. The judge should be ashamed of himself.
This is a 12 year old not an adult
Obviously he needs to be dealt with differently.
@@Unbreakable245 but to get off with no punishment? C’mon. What type of message are we sending? Sorry, I don’t agree. He knew what was doing and there needs to be consequences.
@@user-fx8kx8sv7s Probation IS a punishment and therapy and treatment are usually included, especially when it comes to juveniles. The judge probably made their desicion based on the juvenile's best interest and we don't know how long he spent in custody prior to sentencing so the time he spent in custody was accounted for too. Whatever is in the child's best interest should come first
@@Unbreakable245 I hope you are right. This generation of kids (some of them), seem so violent and heartless. they will kill at the drop of a dime. I have my doubts, but I pray you are right. All the best.
That's ridiculous! When I was 12 I understood how serious murder is. I could understand if he was like 6 or 9 yrs old. But not almost 13. He knows what he did was wrong and he's getting away with it because of his age. Smh
Who can remember being twelve? A fourteen year old? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@ShelvedBooks-lw9tdyou sound like a 12yr old..if you cant remember.
Released back to parents for supervision🤔🤔 so a child dies and it's all good. Like they aren't gonna reoffend, they just got away with murder. Disgusting.
This is disgusting. Supervision and anger management classes. Outrageous. Wtf.
He will kill again.
@@DarknessFalls29 yes he will
Amen!
What's stopping gangs from recruiting 12 year Olds to commit murders knowing that they won't face any real punishment?
He should have been tried as an adult and kept in custody. He is a danger to others.
Yup
So sad for the mom. 😔 May her child rest in peace. 🙏
His parents should be in prison while he is on “supervised “ probation! Judges need to start handing out sentences to parents.
There was no supervision in the first place, a child died, and now they want parents to supervise as his punishment….unbelievable
Good question. I wonder what answers the parents provided if they were asked 🤔
That is how criminal justice reform works....
Exactly smdh
He should, AT THE BARE MINIMUM, be in Juvenile detention.
So, at 12, he didn't know what was going on, but he sure knew about guns and what to do with them... I call BS.
Even for people who suffer from severe mental illness, being found incompetent to stand trial is something that happens very rarely in the criminal justice system. The standard for being incompetent to stand trial isn’t simply that you suffer from a mental illness, and it is very difficult to meet. In order to be found incompetent to stand trial, one of the following requirements must be met:
The defendant does not understand the nature and object of the proceedings against him or her. In order to meet this standard, the defendant cannot have even a minimal understanding of his or her role as a defendant, the role of the judge, the prosecutor, or the defense attorney, the penalties that he or she is facing as a result of being charged with a crime, or the criminal process. A defendant who does not understand the nature and the object of the proceedings against him or her is most typically someone with extremely low intelligence, or who is suffering from significant psychosis.
The defendant is unable to assist in his or her defense in a rational manner. In order to meet this standard, the defendant is unable to do things like discuss with his or her attorney the facts of the case, rationally make decisions regarding things like plea offers or whether or not to testify on their own behalf at trial. A defendant who is unable to assist in his or her defense in a rational manner is likely suffering from severe psychotic symptoms.
If a person does meet one of the two requirements to meet the standard for being incompetent to stand trial, the Court will order that person to undergo treatment, supervised by the Michigan Center for Forensic Psychiatry. The Forensic Center, or another psychiatric hospital working at their direction, will treat the defendant to attempt to restore them to competency.
A finding that someone is incompetent to stand trial does not mean that the defendant will no longer be prosecuted for the crime for which they are charged. Being found incompetent to stand trial means something very different than being found not to be criminally responsible due to insanity. A defendant who has been found incompetent to stand trial will be administered treatment for up to 15 months in order to attempt to make them competent to stand trial. After a defendant is restored to competency, they will return to the court system to enter a plea, have a trial, or in some manner adjudicate their case.
If a defendant is being treated for his or her inability to understand the nature and the object of the proceedings, they will likely go through training and education to try to teach them about the court proceedings, including their role as a defendant, and the role of the judge, the prosecutor, and the defense attorney. The forensic center will work with them on education regarding the criminal process, and work through how they might evaluate a situation like a plea offer from the prosecuting attorney.
If a defendant is being treated for his or her inability to assist in his or her defense in a rational manner, he or she may receive medication as well as therapy to treat their condition.
In many cases, a defendant who has been found incompetent to stand trial both cannot understand the nature and the object of the proceedings, and is unable to rationally assist in his or her defense. In those cases, treatment is likely to include medication, therapy, and education.
Treatment for defendants who are found incompetent to stand trial is most often on an inpatient basis, and defendants will not be free to come and go from the treating facility, whether that is the forensic center or another psychiatric hospital. However, visits from family members and attorneys are generally permitted during the time that the defendant is receiving treatment at those facilities.
@@zamariametcalf1012 thank you for such a great explanation.
Right
@@deadstick8624 copied and pasted from an attorney law firm website
@@zamariametcalf1012 but still great, thank you.
If I was the mother, I would make sure that the murdering child’s face was everywhere. You have to make sure that the community knows, that a walking monster was on the lose. Since he was so “confused”, we need to make sure others know what a danger he is.
I knew death was permanent at 7, but he didn’t “understand” this? Yeah right.. 🙄 They would need to convince me he had the mind of a 4yr old, for this to make sense.
If the victim's mother showed the perpetrators face she would go to jail because he's a minor.
@@aveganeverywhere If that was my only child, I would do it. Civic duty and such; otherwise I’d hire someone to anonymously put them up at night. Even if you just have them toss around the neighborhood, once one neighbor has it, then they’ll all have it. Hopefully the other children will be protected.
I wouldn't give a damn bout going to jail if that was my child I would put that Mfers.face all.over and expose the hell.out of him and that sorry ass judge .
@@aveganeverywhere She is not going to jail. They show minors face everywhere when they feel like it. There is no law stating you can't show a minors face who committed a crime. They just choose not to.
@@Cnichal She is not going to jail. They show minors face everywhere when they feel like it. There is no law stating you can't show a minors face who commuted a crime.
No way 12 is old enough to know murder is bad wow so sad
At 14 I pushed my parent off me because they were beating me with a belt buckle, they ended up falling, and I got 2 weeks in juvenile detention.. but this child murders someone and gets probation? What kind of BS is this?
What's stopping gangs from recruiting 12 year Olds to commit murders knowing that they won't face any real punishment?
2 weeks for a push
Freedom for a murder
You should have been protected not in prison. The system is messed up.
run away as soon as u can and tell someone what they r doing to u don't be afraid. love yourself God is with you.
There’s kids who get sent to juvie until they’re 18 & this kid is allowed to be free after killing someone. The judge sent the wrong message, he’ll regret it when that boy is back in front of him for murder again!
Wrong! The judge doesn't care
@Ralph AndersonKinna like the heathens that shoot up schools and churches across America 🤔 Suspect ALWAYS 🙍🏼♂️🙍🏻🧑🏻🦰🙎🏻♂️🙍🙍♂️
@Ralph Anderson You do.
Maybe Regret actually having to punish the kid after his future 2nd or 3rd Murder...No regret for the next homicide victims at all...or even public embarrassment for allowing no cash bail on a individual that would probably like prison cause it's Cool just like back-shooting murder for fun with no motive, no argument escalating, no 2 different gang efiliations crossing paths at public place, no drug deal gone bad, no stacks of $20 bills to gank or jewelry to snatch, or Expensive clothing to rob, or self defense. Literally gain nothing and know exactly what's going to happen pulling the trigger of a gun point-blank range at a person with their back turned. They know they are going for a homicide kill when the person getting shot thinks it's totally safe to have their back turned to this individual they already know and is going about normal life like walking away from a person as we All do everyday going somewhere. Last thing on anybody s mind is hey I need to blast someone in the back walking away from me today. 🤔 No legitimate reason or cause or crime to commit to benefit from, or desperation from being confused, NOTHING 👀 BUT, it'll be Cool watching myself put a bullet in another kid with witnesses to brag about it 🤔 hmmm. They know what jail is, they know what happens if you get caught murdering, they know about court, they know what life in prison means, they know what goes on in prison, they know the relatives of the person who's getting shot down is going to be devastated, they know the Police, Detectives, and Homicide Unit is going to be All over the scene of their shooting and a dead bloody person left in public, on a sidewalk, parking lot, Burger King, City Park, Basketball Ball game, there's no hiding it!!! And the risk of getting charged in committing it is pretty good when you murder the way of Showing Off.
Forsaken All the 2nd 3rd degrees of punishment, or family turmoil, kids put into foster care cause that was their only parent, or the kids catch the coffin ride as well with the non gangmember non violent parent being hunted in own neighborhoods just to watch them die from My barrel slinglin bullets into them as they run and duck and cover. Like the relief a hunter experiences from not letting a spooked , on the run, trophy deer getaway and live from pulling out the best shots possible to end it's Life. But they do eat the meat, mount it, control population, obey the season, don't shoot the babies, don't shoot the mother anywhere close to breeding or birth cycle months to not orphan Fawns, let most Deer they see during a season walk on, but still get the thrill of a Worthy kill and it's respect from peers and Cool Guy status. But this Hunter isn't destroying lives like these Hunters of Humans That literally wake up during the day or night , grab a bite, sit at same kitchen table topping off magazines with hollow points, meet up with with at least one buddy to cover passenger side of car at the rare happening minimum , and ride city blocks, cruise neighborhood drives with All the Still Nice Old School Cozy Front Porch houses, that's 6ft to 10ft apart from each other and backyards are houses butted up to each other. And literally adults and late teens and early teens and pre-teens, and younger are roaming to find that kill. Or you can be the one's with same demographic ages being inside the dense close houses catching bullets as cars are driven down a whole block or 2 dumping magazines empty from the 4 people yanking the 4 triggers simultaneously aiming at 4 neighbors walking On sidewalks and killing 4 + plus black people in own living rooms of houses for refusing to get out and hunt a Human in their car too , spraying bullets where infants and toddlers live and play on the porches and too small to take any gunshot wound and stay alive lONGer than 5min. period. Muchless 9milli and .40cal hollow points. Cause they are sport shooting to drop dead anything/ anybody that's crossing an intersection on foot.
That's not grown outlaw gangster on gangster rmurder.... It's straight up War Lord Genocide of Own Race Using Children Soldiers As Exterminator Squads. It's not a phase or trend or some b.s. behaviorial psychological disorder they just discovered that 12 year old children 👉 6th graders, do a little murder homicide out of thrill of the kill with no motive no fighting over a cause, no defending anyone or property... and then they grow up or out of it... And there is Mental Wards and Non Prison Cell Facilities for 24 7 Holding And Security Monitoring.
Not to give a Cold Cold Murderous Child Backshooter of a harmless Kid
to same parental guidance that's deemed "close supervision" . There's no telling what he's done wHEN nobody was watching. If he can hold up a handgun with barrel aimed and knowing full well he was going to kill him from pulling the Trigger firing into other kids back. That's called a homicidal tendency ideation with commitment for murderous Act.
AKA... NOT slipping up out of anger and getting pissed, or mislead into killing, Or having to do it while committing crime. And the Adults, Cops, Parental Guardian, Courts, Judge, and System just conveyed that you are not behaving that bad and not taken seriously. Umm Umm
Judges never regret their decisions, probably because those decisions don't personally affect them.
A ridiculously light sentence- A life isn’t worth much anymore. Very angry. I pray for this grieving family and the anger they must feel about the unjust outcome🙏🏼
Aint no way. This is why some folks don't even get the justice system involved and resort to the streets instead. Thoughts and prayers to the victims family. RIP Young man
13 year old Eric Smith spent 28 years behind bars for his murder, and this kid doesn't even go to jail. Who else thinks that is unfair?
Definitely unfair bro… I think due to the state an weak asss system failed them🤦🏾♂️ they could’ve at least gave him juvenile life make him get out til he’s 21 worst case scenario
Boy Bye. Eric Smith lured a 5 five to his DEATH. Both of those DEMONS need to be underneath the the jail never to see the light of DAY
Eric Smith was white
Was this case in the same state?
@@Laszlo-b8k he killed a lil white girl
The boy that passed away, has cousins, uncles, and other male family members that may take street justice. The killer would be better off serving tens years in juvenile jail then be free. Everyone in a family may not let someone take their loved family members life. And permit the killer to walk free with a slap on the wrist probation like nothing happened. The boy that died may have teenage relatives who may not let this slide. Especially if the relatives are affiliated with a gang lifestyle.
Facts.
Facts
Yes, this is true facts.
That. Doesn’t. Make. It . Right!!!!! And it will inevitably make things so so much worse. When in fact we can see how out of control the boy is and he will more than likely get into trouble again or violate his very strict probation and go to jail anyways. This is all by design. But you don’t go out and put things into your own hands and think that’s right either
Excellent point... I'm that kind of mother/auntie/cousin who wouldn't have it. idc how old you are. You gotta go. 🤷🏾♀️
He literally got a slap on the wrist, I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up doing something like this again
This is just unfair someone lost their life smh 🤦🏽♀️ deep condolences 💐
whats to dissuade other kids from going out and killing someone? this is ridiculous
Nothing
@@missf4681 absolutely
they are doing it daily!
Nothing at all. In the US it's best to do crime as a teen because usually there are no consequences.
Absolutely nothing, so older folks will get kids to kill for them. Just ridiculous Maryland. These are the laws that are set in Democratic or Blue States that are the reality. Sorry, we have got to get smart about how we vote and truly being a Democrat.
I am certain that at 12, he knew that shooting someone, could result in injury and/or death. And hollow bullets. This story was just tragic!

How can you be 12 years old and not understand once you murder somebody that you have murdered somebody.?

Genetics
For a child to have a heart to kill shows that they are disconnected somewhere mentally and spiritually they are not normal.
If not treated expeditiously and correctly the child is more likely to become more disturbing dark and wicked.
Harming more people and themselves.
Thing that the child did the crime at 12
I definitely believe that he should spend the next 6 years in boot camp where constant mental evaluations are done
Strict schooling and chores are installed .
12 years old is 100% old enough to understand what murder is. Hopefully this scumbag gets what he deserves
These judges love to be like "I'm just following the law when I'm letting these violent criminals go" but when it's a political crime they will bring down the hand of the justice, no matter what the law says.

We need to change that
Don't ever vote democrat then....
@Maga Patriot I share you sentiments however we must be wary of mob justice.
Setting up peoples courts as direct competition to the prevailing system is the only way.
I learned that one from the Taliban.
We had our system that was slow, and corrupt and the Taliban developed a superior system that was quick and very fair.
As an added bonus they did not require prisons. They followed the punishment as prescribed by the Koran.
Believe you me, the first time you see a man without a figure or a hand. You will think twice before stealing or raping a child.
Prisons do nothing to deter the criminal.
Oh you want to give me free room and board? Awesome, you mean that I don’t have to work for my meal? Awesome sauce!
Prisons are a free ride.
Better to follow the Taliban system of justice.
No one dared to victimize their neighbors.
This is so true...the youth are very different and dangerous compared to when I grew up. These are truly the last days
You are 10 million percent right...
This boy needs to be arrested.This is dangerous to let kids murder and give no punishment
My prayers goes out to the mother of the victims sorry you
your daughter lost
This won’t be the last time we hear from this killer.
Horrid lack of Justice.
what a culture
THIS should be considered a crime against the people when judges do things like this.
How?
Exactly
The judge is doing his job. He has to follow the law. It's sad but the judge is not the problem
The victims mom is so pretty and holding it together well for us. I know she is beyond broken.
Big Mistake. Not sure what the judge was thinking. He’ll do it again because he see their are no consequences for murdering someone!
You're 100% right
Getting him on RE OFFENDING ... if he's still alive to live!!
Very Sad though...
What a lot of people voted for, is coming back to bite them. I would still file a civil lawsuit against the boy and his family. The Judge should be removed from the bench. So sad
Nobody voted to let murder out
@@dahliar410 R u serious
Why isn't he locked up behind bars. He's older enough to know better & should get charged as a adult for the murder of that boy. How is it, he's free? He doesn't deserve his life because he took a life & I don't care that he's a kid. The bottom line is that he knew what was doing when he intentionally killed that boy. This isn't justice & I hope his parents will fight for justice for their deceased son & never stop until they get the justice they deserve. I feel sorry for them. This is absolutely terrible😔
He is getting probation, supervision
, and anger management classes, which he needs to not be a repeat offender. He should only be charged as a Juvenile Delinquent meaning the longest he could or should receive would be Juvenile Detention until 18, then Prison until 25. We also don’t know the shooting circumstances. Xs one of his friends was stabbed and so maybe it was justifiable under self defense.
If he's going into the same family and neighborhood he'll either become a menace or the next victim....
Sad Truth... No one having this conversation, Right? 🙏🙏🤲🤲🙌🙌👀🤷♀️😓
Best comment… 👍🏼
Yup especially after getting away with this. He’s finna be wilding out like a mf. Probably hang around older men already getting molded for that street life already smh
Facts
This isn’t a small crime he’s a child but needs some time at least 5, more years. Probation isn’t a punishment. Someone died. It’s not the law it’s the stupid judge not doing his job.
I say 15-20.
early thirties upon release.
w 10 years probation afterwards.
hope that dont make me sound sketch.
cuz I am not a judge.
If that was my son/cousin/brother I would see that as somewhat reasonable. tough b/c we all got good inside us. but rarely we allowed to call a spade what it is. truthfully, prison might make him worst. and maybe judge think that.
My heart goes out to the mother forreal.
i say 10 years imprisonment for him.This is really dangerous that they let this kid walk on streets freely.he will kill more people
I agree. Atleast 10-12 years Possible parole. Most in juvenile and the rest in prison . Kids like this become menaces in the hood. Ik this because I grew up around bad little boys in school that grew up to be street men or are dead now. It’s sad
It's definitely the law.
What is the law for juveniles that commit murders in the state of Maryland?
How does the other family absorb something like this?? So sad
So a kid can murder someone and get a slap in the face cause he is too young? How will they learn when you give them freedom to murder someone? Wow.
This is heartbreaking😢, My true condolences to this family.
that kid should be arrested for 10 years.Murder is no joke.Just because he is kid does not mean we can let him walk free sothat he can kill more people
This just plain sad. The judge is dead wrong to allow this boy to have his freedom. I won't be surprised if he does this again.
Live by the sword, die by the sword!! Street justice is inevitable ⁉️🖤🤬
They did this on purpose cuz they know what he is going to do..they want him to commit more black on black crimes
He doesn’t have his freedom tho..That’s why these kids are messed up because Adults don’t only solution is to take this to the Max.. that boy was 12 & someone passed him a Gun AFTER HIS FRIEND was stabbed..a 12 year old boy should be allowed to REDEEM HIMSELF & yeah this is a messed up situation but this situation Is really more Common than most people know
No, he is dead right lol. By releasing these thugs back into the gen pop, they will kill even more of you folks. Fact.
The judge is bound by the law. What part of that don't y'all understand?
Sentence to supervision? What a joke seriously? I wonder why crimes can’t stop coming in… There’s Zero Accountability Zero at All
An insult and a slap in the face. It's madness!! No way this joker should be on any kind of probation!!!
The Justice system failed the family as well as the community. Just sad. Prayers continue to go out to the families and friends. Rest with the angels King Douglas💔
Praying for this family at this time Lord have mercy on his soul
There was absolutely no justice served whatsoever this judge needs to be fired immediately!…🙏
Lol 💀
Judges be like that's so sad but your free to go, you Killa you.
This is a miscarriage of justice. In fact, this is not justice. Disgusting. Fix this!!
“Freedom” after a murder!!! Wow! What a time to live in! 😢
there needs to be more information given to the community. whose gun was it? who was the killer? can his parents be held responsible in this state? how about a civil suit?
No he simply is young, however someone died. Both person’s are young but letting someone out isn’t the best option, he needs to serve up to 5, years or more depending on his behavior, released at 17, 18, or 21, for to make sure he knows what he did is wrong.
@@anthonymartinez4307 this has nothing to do with what I wrote
Yeah I'd say the parents should take accountability ..
@@anthonymartinez4307 He needs 10 year imprisoment.There should be no excuse for murder.I don't care if he/she is 12.Murder is murder and needs harsh punishment
He’s black so they won’t show him
I truly hope the mother sues the family of this murderer and takes everything they own. This kid will likely end up in prison one day. He should have been tried as an adult!!
Imma have to get my nephews bulletproof vests for Christmas
They let these criminals be free in our neighborhood not theirs. If this happened on their side of town that kid wouldn’t see the light of day again. They know that kid will reoffend US and ultimately they will profit from him ending up in jail for life or dead.
Yup
But this what you BW marched for. Criminals
This is the one !!!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
So no matter what y’all ain’t happy. If he were white you’d be saying it’s due to white privilege. If he were sentenced to 30 years you’d say that would never happen if he were white. And now you’re mad he’s just let out. It’s almost as if no matter how black people spin it they are always the victims…🤔
What are we saying to our juveniles? OMG... Sorry for your loss.
The family now has the right to eliminate the murderer. It's up to the community if the family cannot do it themselves.
I feel empathy for the parents, what they supposed to do with an issue like this. 12 years old needs prayers.
Yeah because when I was 12 I didn't understand that taking someone's life was a bad thing either. You know, most 12 year olds don't know that murder is wrong.------Said no sane person ever!! He needs to be held accountable for his actions...period!!
The judge needs to be locked up!
This is why gangs want young kids, they can do whatever with no consequences……
It is a slap in face. Unbelievable, he gets to go home like nothing happened.
He should be off to juvenile detention .you get that for an armed robbery and any other felonious crime
Praying for the mother 🙏🏾🙏🏾
and the father?
Probation for murder?
America’s court rooms have become a bad joke.
In other words, if a true friend or family member that's around tge same age, or a yr younger gets a little justice; they too will get probation, right 🤔
Who is raising these vile,young maniacs?
These lawless judges are going to experience karma one of these days.
NOT just the Judges... Their LAWYERS TOO!!
What ain't got Money to buy, they got Lawyers Associated to getting their way!! SMDFH!!
@@rosemary12385 Look up Susan Dlott and what happened to her.
I’m so torn on this. He MURDERED someone! He took a innocent CHILD for no reason! He should have more of a punishment. I do believe that young teens that commit murder shouldn’t get life or a lot of time but they should get something. A LOT of therapy. A LOT of counseling. Some time in a rehabilitation center specializing in young offenders. But he definitely shouldn’t be allowed to do what he wants.
12- and 13-year-olds with guns/knives fighting one another, I CAN'T FATHOM THAT!! At 12 and 13, I was selling kool aide from our homemade stands. We didn't think of murdering anyone.
What about juvenile prison, but he shouldn’t get to walk around you murdered someone 🤷🏽♀️
Prayers and condolences for the family
This is why these little monsters keep committing horrific crimes. There is no accountability!
This was a slap in the face to victims family.
They making excuse for him saying he didn't understand what he was doing yeah right because he was 12 but he knew how to get the gun and killed someone and he should be tried as an Adult and what is supervise probation and he might killed again just ridiculous and sad.
My condolences and prayers to the mom.
We need to pray for all of our kids. Let's not
make this an isolated incident. When something
like this happens, we should all be concerned. It' s
easy to say lock this kid up and everything will be fine.
Yes, It will be until it happens with a different kid.
Prayers and blessings to all involved.
Why let the boy return home in the mother's care under supervised probation when the mother didn't even supervise him from the beginning because if she had there wouldn't be an innocent boy murdered. That's one strong Moma because I would everything in my power to make sure that other mother feel my pain.
They waited 2 years to get justice and now the murderer gets to hang out in the same neighborhood as the victim's family. Maryland is sick.
I hate to say this but the suspect probably will go on to commit other heinous crimes in his adult life. He needs Jesus! On Jesus can truly change one’s heart. Prayers for all who are involved and who have been affected by this devastating and senseless killing.
The judge said he's following the law but if it was his family member that judge would've forgotten all about the law,the child would be locked up asap.
How tragic and disappointing. He may have only been 12, but to say he was incompetent is really stretching it. If he was that damn incompetent, he wouldn't have confessed so quickly. He knew what he did.
Disgusting! This isn't justice, this is equity.
Privileged and Protected ✊🏿
Oh please. Had it been a white kid his ass would be in prison but it's a black kid soooo not as important.
Horrible 🤦🏾♂️🙏🏾 Prayers to the family
Probation for murder!? This needs to be looked into ASAP. That judge needs to be thrown off the bench!!!!
Rape Is Literally Worse Than Murder
This is very sad, I pray that this kid doesn't kill anyone else. May the deceased child rest in peace.
My prayers are with the victims family it's such a shame there is no justice in America anymore !!!
They need to take this back to court. That kid should not walk free wtf
No justice for the family. What a shame. I can’t believe what our justice system has come to.
Tried him as an adult !!!! He knew what he was doing !!!!
That's why in this day and age children should not be able to just hang out with anyone. It's so dangerous for young people now, you have to be cautious when letting them just go anywhere to be with friends!
, It's always been known other people will actually get you in trouble. But they do not care. Getting arrested , Jail , Prison l DOESN'T scare any of these adults or children
Obviously 🤔
Caution doesn't Keep a good part of this crap in check ... It's socially accepted because there is not even 100 people gathered in protest against it. No Leaders on tv even saying one word or wearing
Search 15 year old murderers👈 and you can scroll down for an hour Straight . And not make a dent in the videos 😙
I never let my daughter visit friends at their home or anywhere unless I'm there and I don't let her friends come over , anything can happen, next thing you know you have their parents wanting to sue, fight, get revenge or worst like your child being raped, killed , picked on or mistreated . I have a 11 year old daughter who just turned 11 yesterday and I Love her too much to let someone harm her .
