Sad news for the Majors family

[Offset Eye]

Have to wonder if this had anything to do with gang initiation activities?

Probably just patehtically stupid people. I wouldn't overthink it.

Good grief this is awful. Praying for her family.

I just don't know about that. Ain't gonna argue, but I just can't pull the trigger that easily.

He'll age out and I'd be surprised if he makes a turnaround within the system. Especially within the juvenile detention centers.

Nailed it.

This assumes he was the trigger man, of course.

Good odds are that he’s snitching his face off about now.

This is horrible. What is wrong with people?? Send this kid to the Taliban...or have him meet me behind my woodshed. As the father of a little girl, this sends me out of control.

Kudos to the NYPD. May God lead them to all involved. Sometimes we knock police on this forum but cops are all that’s standing between us and this kind of evel. Most, ( not all) but most deserve our respect and support.

Bad. Can happen anywhere but why in heck be up there in New York?

There just isn't any words.....

When they found him/her, s/he was wearing articles of her clothes. Not saying it couldn't be, but could have also been a robbery.

13 year old arrested. Such a waste of a young life.

13 years old.....

New York.

The NY press is now sliming the victim of course. There are claims being made she "was out looking to buy weed."

Even if she were that's no reason to knife up a young woman and take her life.

 

[kcvols1]

New York.

Stop.

There’s plenty of juvenile delinquents in the hollers too.

Absolutely! We don't need to speculate,we need to pray for family and friends.

Actually, it's the police union sliming their mayor by calling attention to laws he ordered them to no longer enforce. If I can put this respectfully to everyone's politics, Giuliani followed the "no broken windows" policy, and crime statistics fell to the lowest rates in a long time. DeBlasio rescinded those policies and demanded a "less antagonistic" approach from law enforcement. The NYPD union believes those policies have been counterproductive, and was opining that lack of enforcement (including marijuana laws) is what led to Majors' death--not her possible reason for being in the park.

Of course, how different news sources present that information is another issue...

Horrible news.

Thoughts are with Coach Majors and his family.

Just terrible how people and, especially kids, seem to be more desensitized to the consequences of their own actions by the day.

Or if NY was not so archaic, pot could be ordered online and delivered to her door. Instead of her having to walk the streets and having to buy from sketchy people.
