It’s come to this
The boys sought to lure the girl away from school, where the older boy planned to stab her, prosecutors said.
“I was going to kill her with the knife and (the younger boy) was supposed to use the gun to keep anyone from trying to stop me or mess up our plan,” the older boy told police, according to the declaration of probable cause filed in court.
They intended to kill the girl because “she’s rude and always made fun of me and my friends,” the younger boy told investigators, according to the documents.

The two will grow up to be some fine senators from one of our bluer states.

If only they’d had Nationalized Mandatory Pre-School they would never have turned out this way by 5th grade….

Raise taxes and hire more teachers, it’s the only way to fix this.

Hey, the Feral government asserting control over the people’s personal property should fix this up straight away.

Good thing the violent nature of our culture hasn’t had any impact on the children.

We laugh, but they’ll use this…just watch…

Better background checks would have surely caught this I’m sure…. See. Obama does know what’s best for us.

The most troubling thing is, only one of the boys was responsible enough to not be using a gun. We need some more legislation to make sure people are charged with a separate, additional felony when they bring a gun to their knife-murders.

We need to ban assault-knives.
VegasRick on February 16, 2013 at 7:34 PM
But, but, but….the laws! I mean, there are laws against people this young possessing a firearm, especially in a Gun Free Zone!
Wait…laws don’t stop things from happening?

Shocking huh?

Damn blue state kids, always ruining it for the rest of us.

Sad, but not surprising.

I’m trying to make a tie in to Washington state legalizing pot to this, but I got nothin.

This is the part that caught my eye. Conspiracy, firearms and tampering with a witness charges and they get three years if guilty?

And in a “juvenile treatment facility”, no less, not in JAIL.

I blame Hollywood.
.
Let’s have a violence tax on Hollywood movies (or movies from any other film capital or place of performance, manufacture, distribution, or exhibition) which cannot be passed on to the consumer (or broadcaster or image transmittal service) where such tax will be held in escrow for the victims of violence where that violence can be shown to have been influenced, caused, inspired, demonstrated or described verbally or in pictures, moving or still, and that the funds shall be placed into the hands of the victims to be used as they see fit in their recovery.
.
Furthermore, Hollywood, its assigns or heirs and corporate, partnership, or sole proprietor owners shall provide seed money for a Victims Relief Fund which shall provide funds when tax monies have been exhausted.
.
Gun owners and manufacturers, as well as the NRA, should support this.

Put those kids and their parents in the slammer together. Let them share a cell for 3 years. Maybe, just maybe, the parents will decide to take parenting more seriously.

The next BJ Clinton and Rahm Emanuel. After a stint in Juvie they’ll learn to keep their hands clean and get others to do the dirty work.
