  1. Dindu nuffins… he was a goot chial… pretty sure there there's more going on here

  2. The kid is a tug and career criminal 😞 you play with fire you going to get hurt.

  3. Of course, it's THEIR race that makes the criminal look like a victim.

  4. No one who has ever woken up to there car being broken into would ever say they would be ok with it if it was a kid ppl get tired of working hard and see lazy ppl steal the things they work hard for messed with your child was not in a child’s place which is home the street takes lives at that time of morning do your job and teach your kid better what where you doing why he could sneak out as you say at that time oh that’s right not doing your parenting job

  5. so it’s to break into car bout wrong

  6. One less monkey in the jungle

  7. Why y'all made it seem like he was at work when he did it? Mixed feelings, however I'm sorry for a lost of life.

  8. Bummer and condolences, but people are getting tired of all the thieving and lawlessness. Should have been at home sleeping. Blaming it on guns. Come on… Where was this kids father?

  9. One day all you unsympathetic people gonna need some sympathy you got young people in your lives Don't forget 13 yrs old child was killed you may have a point but he could have spared him he could have learned and became someone great but vigilanties want blood get your humanity back

  10. Raise your kids better. The parents are just as liable.

  11. Material things are not worth a person soul things can b replaced he's gone forever

  12. What was Karon Blake doing that he had to apologize for?

  13. He didn't deserve a death sentence

  14. To believe a 13 year-old can't be dangerous is beyond stupid

  15. The police aren't the only ones who need to do their jobs better, MOM and DAD…

  16. Criminal actions have bad results, this kid should not have been breaking into cars .

  17. how about parents do you job
    kid was out in the middle of the night trying to break into cars?

  18. They were up to no good and he defended himself and property. What's the issue? No wonder crime is out of control. SMH

  19. Didn't his father teach him right from wrong?

  20. Kids a piece of trash, charge the parents too for neglect!

  21. District of Columbia murdering an American.
    Tell the world something we don't know.

  22. Okay. I remember at 18 high school graduation has past. I'm still in my parents house living. My body was in the home at 3:am. At 13, I had little leverage to be out of the house past 8pm. Lol I'm not understanding.

  23. No sympathy . Glad the little nikka gone. I'm Kenyan and would have tore his lil young azz up with the Sig sp2022. No 13yr old should be out at 3am

  24. Nah yall reaching fam… Free that man!

  25. Just because he was looking to steal does Not mean He should Pay With His Life! He did Not have a Weapon so Why Was He Shot?

  26. One less future career criminal in this world. Sorry but NO SYMPATHY from me.

  27. Don't go out committing crimes if you don't wanna get shot 👍
