Defund the POLICE? L.M.A.O. Democraps make me laugh, FOOLS.

He was fighting racism?

seek help for the kid. at 12 he was either put up to it by someone older or is in a dire situation of trying to survive. poor kid

Let’s play a game and let’s see if we can figure out what is his race just by reading the headline.

Given the fact that puberty occurs anytime after 9 he is no longer a boy some cultures refer to this age group as men and they can’t be blamed

WOW. I want to hear the story behind this.

BobLonsberry A prodigy.

🤔wonder what race he was

Persistence is a virtue.

Have you guys seen this yet? I saw it on the news a few weeks ago, and with everything that's been going on.. it's been working really welll I put in $550, and now it's sitting at $4,245 just after the first 5 days. With the help of Jessica_Allene

Investigations need to be followed up regarding the Parents/ Guardian/s. The Child is in his formative years & easily influenced. Whatever the circumstances, he needs urgent intervention & put on the right path. Psychological Assessment & Rehabilitation is necessary for him. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Arrested? WTF? What kind of society interferes with a youths right to travel? Sickening.

so sad.

Let me guess, the boy was black?

Biden's America

They just got tired of being in lockdown playing gta. Guess they figured they wanted the real thing. Not really smart though. Still got caught in an hour. Sad state of society for a 12 yr old pointing a gun at people. Throw the book.

I'm surprised you hacks didn't blame Trump.

That's just sad. America's youth with a twisted sense of entitlement. Wonder what his circumstances were that led him to this. At 12 my conscience wouldn't even let me steal a candy bar let alone a car from someone while using a weapon.

thanks for this news

He's just hyped for gta6

12 years old...wow.

Give that kid a job in the Senate... proactive go-getters are few and far between.

Was he black?

What the hell?!

And was found not guilty of all charges. An 11-year-old boy was found not guilty Thursday afternoon of attempted murder, attempted armed robbery, and attempted attempted criminal damage to property.

FDA authorizes Pfizer vaccine for 12-15-year-oldsPfizer announced in late March that its clinical trials showed the vaccine was safe and 100% effective in children ages 12-15, similar to the 95% efficacy among adult clinical trial participants. The big question about the vaccines is not their effects, but how long does it last in the long term? Or is it just temporary relief before another wave. These are questions that are never asked. Now before anyone jumps down my throat. I'm not anti-vax. Just don't lie to me Thank God my. Daughter has been waiting to be able to get vaccinated. I'm sure the morons will chime in soon. How's the smallpox? The measles? The mumps? The polio? Where'd they go? And how? Hopefully...it’s safe!
