  1. 4AM robbing never a good idea. Kids out at 4AM? Where your parents?

  2. the comments here are absolutely insane. people are actually relishing in delight thay a 13 yr old child is dead. the kid wasn’t a monster, he just needed help, and now he’s dead. this country is deeply sick in the head

  3. The elephant in the room is People do not care about human life anymore…

  4. I want to appreciate Dr.Aluda for giving me back my life again, I was diagnose of Genital Herpes for 2 years, after using Dr Aluda herbal medicine, I got cured. All thanks to Dr. Aluda I will be forever grateful to you sir⭐

  5. HE WAS GOING TO BE A GROWN UP THREAT..

  6. The NRA says that anyone should be able to buy a gun and carry it anywhere without a permit, and without any form of training. The NRA says "No restrictions, no registration, no training, and no accountability." Guns for everyone! The NRA even talks about letting first grade kids as young as 5 or 6 take guns to school. Insane! But this is how the NRA makes its money.

  7. does anyone else feel like if the Memphis thing didn't happen this guy would still be free?

  8. Nice job home owner!!! That 13 year old dirt bag would be nothing but a burden on society!!!

  9. Why is he dead? because of his garbage parents. Lock them up and let the man go

  10. Stick em up, pew pew.

  11. Out of control children ruining other people's lives. 🙄

  12. Guy to his right needs to learn how to do a combover. It's a combOVER, not a combforward😂 you're not fooling anyone man. Just shave your head or own it like George costanza.

  13. He was going to be such a great angel and helpful member to society. He was going to be a doctor

  14. Do the crime pay the price. I don't care how old you are.

  15. Why is a 13 year old breaking into cars? His parents should be charged with his death too if we're going to charge this man for defending his property from a THIEF!

  16. You are telling the Whole Friggin World that this young man's very last words… For the record of court..
    " You Glimpse,
    Gleaned his very last words. You did not hear them – Nor did any one else, but you're willing to push this hate -' for what ? What's really going on ? Where is the. Once great United States of America ?
    We are throwing it away with both hands.
    Stop the Hate ♥️🙏

  17. No dignity from the community or the fake news journalists. Just blaming and fueling rage. Dignity would be a diagnosis: A solution to educate and prevent this from happening again. I hope there will be a day these fake news journalists will be prosecuted for manipulating all this destruction.

  18. And people want to put a STOP to abortion!? We should be putting in an express lane. Wrap it up. Save the planet

  19. It always me longer when the victim is black … but the fact he killed a child was enough to arrest him from day one. Why we need grand jury to decide that he be arrested?

  20. Official closing: It will be a while before another car gets stolen. 👍

  21. Geez, kids have been stealing cars (joy rides) since the 1950’s. No adult should shoot a kid for doing kid stuff. Stop acting as tho this is something new & kids now days are just all awful.😡

  22. Charge Jason to the fullest extent of the law

  23. 😡👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

  24. Other teenage car thieves should learn from this

  25. So because of the 13 year olds action he just ruined someone's life before he died too. I'd sue the parents for legal fees.

  26. 3,592.

    That’s the number of gun violence deaths this year in the United States so far.

    Somehow, there have been 52 mass shootings in our country since 2023 started — that means there have been more mass shootings than there have been days in the year, with an average of 1.6 mass shootings per day.

    As the leading cause of death for young people, gun violence is robbing our children of growing up in a safe environment.

    We truly are "…for the land of the free, and the home of the dead."
    Gotta get rid of the guns!

  27. Hopefully other “kids” will see this or maybe their parents will show them this and they’ll realize that your youth is not going to save you from a bullet when committing crimes because clearly ppl are tired of working hard and replacing items over and over simply because some ppl out there feel like they can’t be touched. Raise your children properly from a very young age ppl and things like this could possibly be avoided 🙏🏾

  28. Jason, you butt dumpling! You killed another poc!

  29. How is that crime thug gang culture working out for you?

  30. another day, another shooting in america

  31. Каркустка страктакта барзактория бакраска бурструкт фиграния фидачкот. ..

  32. This isn’t a police problem it’s a black problem. We know who makes our cities war zones. We know who we cross the other street for when we see a gang of them coming our way. We know who are the overwhelming perps in robberies, rapes, assaults and murders despite being such a small minority. Let’s stop pretending. The problem is racial folks. That’s the elephant in the room here.

  33. I think Terry v Ohio instigated this killing is Terry v Ohio better than the 4th amendment and should we do away with the 4th amendment and except Terry v Ohio as the new 4th amendment

  34. So very tragic! Glad they arrested the person!

  35. That’s how we do it out here in ‘merica 👕💥🔫 put em’ on a t-shirt. GANG
