He’s 21. Why was he a “kid” while black and brown boys under 18 are not given that courtesy on DCUM. Years ago, I used to regularly confront reporters over this. One reporter described a black 17 year old and her mom as “two women” while describing a white 23 year old and her mother as “girl and her mom”. This was in the same story!

^^^So much truth here, sis!

Actually if you ate an advocate for black kids you don’t want 18 yo white bits (he was 18 not 21) tried as adults because they will hold up this 1 in a million example as ”not being racist”.

We know that treating an 18 yo as a juvenile leads to rehabilitation and sending them to jail trains a violent killer.

Sadly, some individuals are already violent killers at age 18.

Why would you buy an expensive high school graduation present for a kid not even attending college. The news said he was going to community college.

I’d be so pissed if I spent all that money on private school and my kid went to community college.

Although I guess it’s preferably to jail.

The point just sailed right over your head, didn't it? Is there a term like mansplaining for people who try to explain how racism works to POC?

Rehabilitation rate of violent offenders under the age of 21 is very high if sent to rehabilitation not a high security prison.

Because you don’t study criminal justice system reform and I do.

He was 18 at the time of the accident.

Still not a kid. Do you know who was without question a kid? The baby he killed because he chose to break the law. You break the law, you do the time.

Pattern o wreckless behavior. Especially if he was pulled over. He knew what he was doing was wrong but he did it anyway. Respect the law. It's not hard.

Because he reminds them of their sons that they parented the right way, spent thousands of dollars in private education on the ones that are supposed to go to an Ivy and be doctors.

It's funny watching people twist themselves into excuses, cars are made to go too fast , the road was too long other kids are doing it, we need criminal justice reform.

No mention of I don't know, just following the law.

Was the 20-year-old brother who was with him in the car in college?

Too many people want to make excuses for all kinds of wrong behavior, instead of helping our kids internalize from a very young age such values as honesty, kindness, strong work ethic, being a law-abuding citizen, etc. Lift kids up and have high standards. Affirm kids with love and praise but quit lowering expectations and giving rewards when not deserved. Give consequences for wrong behavior. We need more parents, teachers, coaches and ministers to speak the truth. Just one example--As Jesse Jackson used to say, no one is too poor to cut off the tv for 2 hrs and study.

+1 Quite the risk taker...

I think this sentence is very, very excessive and sad. Of course, it's sad kid killed people needlessly. He should've taken 6 year plea. His parents must've known minimum sentencing guideline. So as far as the sentence goes, I blame the parents. This case is not about race or worthy of comparison.

His parents were stupid to buy him a sports car. Did they think he wasn't going to push it to the limits?
