I met someone tonight who knew the victim for years as a fellow church member. Very sad story. There are lots of posts on this story at shreveporttimes.com

Social ills will not go away
Social ills will not go away until they give the death penalty to those who do murders in cold blood. All for a crack rock or to join a gang. Public hanging would send a message to these punks. Cedar Grove is a cancer to this city and if I recall they had a riot there and chased the SPD away with rocks and then burned down a building or two. They do not respect the law and if fact will support those who break the law. They live in fear and at times it overflows into the rest of Shreveport. Time for a change and I do not think Mr. Glover will have the back bone to do what needs to be done. The people that elected him are the people that are causing all the problems !!

Here's another article on Shreveport crime
Police: Shreveport crime marks 26-year low But back to the subject: "The 15-year-old boy accused of killing a Shreveport business owner..." How sad. He threw away his life before it hardly got started. I hope they also find the people responsible for selling or giving him the gun. The fact that a 15 year old has access to weapons just re-enforces the notion that if guns were outlawed (and they are for 15 year olds) then outlaws would still have guns.

I'm pro-death penalty but it has never been effective as a deterrent for any society in which it has existed.

I'm pro-death penalty but
but no repeat offenders so there is your deterrent.

Even if I was for the death penalty, and even if I was pro-public-hanging, I think that a case of a 15 year juvenile should be an exception. (Not to belittle the severity of the crime in any way) But where are the parents who raised this child? What kind of parents and role models were they? Are they responsible in any way?

Not a deterent...Im not so sure
In the middle east (Islamic countries), I understand that if someone's wallet falls out of their back pocket, that wallet will likely remain exactly where it fell, because they all know that however much cash or plastic is inside it, its not worth getting one of your hands chopped off. And THAT falls way short of death.

But where are the parents who raised this child?
Might know where mama is but daddy is mia. Stop and think if is was your wife, mother, or daughter what you would do to that sob. He would be lucky to have the law take care of the deal instead of me. There are allot of people in jail for bs reasons but rape and murder in cold blood there should be none of those people in jail but in a paupers grave or on a dung hill. Sorry guys this one hit close to home.
