  1. Where are the parents, when I was 14 if I was caught out of the house at that time I would suffer severe consequences. Charge his parent/parents with child neglect.

  2. Out of the house at 1230 am on a school night and carrying a loaded handgun. Shocking!!. Agree with Wild Bill. The parents need to be investigated and held responsible.

  3. oh look. criminals doing criminal stuff. your laws mean nothing to them. so stop messing with everyone else. handle the people that break the law with harsh punishments. make em break rocks. live on bread and water. no nice things in jail like free time or tv or books. let em rot.
