Hopefully these are the two that did it...

What an evil fucking jerkwad asshole.

s

...please?

"ME IN MY NIGGA"S A TURN UR BLO5K IN TO MURDER SCENE"

This is from the suspect's FB page in the general info section - meaning it's a broadcast statement to all those who can read it and not some tough guy comment directed at a specific person or adversary.

Real fucking stand up citizen this POS was...

If found guilty, I hope he gets put in the Georgia express lane to eternity.

What the fuck makes someone do that to a 13-MONTH-OLD?

What kind of sociopathic, psychopathic FUCK does that?

Makes me sick to my stomach. Mother and baby go out for a stroll and run across these despicable pieces of shit.

The murder of any innocents sickens and enrages me. No matter where it happens.

"My boy is such a good boy and he has never been in trouble before"
Hope he gets all the punishment the law provides

get's charged for failure to secure their weapon.

Remember, requiring gun registration is EEEVEEEEL! and is only used by the big bad gubmint to take away yer gunz!

And I hope the law provides enough to prevent future victims. 4% of all people are sociopaths, these two boys are prime candidates to be counted in that minority of conscious-free people.

I'd be giving the Kochs a run for their money.

I hope this piece of shit enjoys the rest of his life behind bars.

Is fully warranted here.

Life in prison without parole.
It's cheaper, and not playing god.

OK?

its always best to take a wait and see approach.

Hope when this goes to trial, it will be publicized. By the time it does, people will have forgotten about the case.

Just tired of hearing the same old pathetic excuses.

It's fairly ugly.

and/or not believing her story.

it's kind of ugly:

People who have certainly never been accosted for money either. Sheesh.

Usually, a child isn't killed, just the adult (who could ID the thief.)

What a horrible crime.

Sigh. "I just asked a question", the usual dodge used by victim-blamers.

She didn't have any money with her! And don't people think that, if she did, she would have handed it over to keep her baby and herself safe???

And even if she did have money, what would have stopped these fucks from shooting the baby anyway? Probably nothing.

Thanks for the heads-up on the thread. I won't be going there.

I was simply asking why she wouldn't hand over her purse, after the kid demanded it, in an attempt to save her baby.
Hanging on to purses seems to be a common way for some women getting injured or killed during robberies.
Somehow, that question has been spun into my blaming the mother.
Seems to me that there are DUers looking to spin for a fight any day.


Cheers.

Shameful!

We've seen a number of stories like this turn out to actually be one of the parents.

Such a shocking story, the poor mom. My first thoughts were wrong and I am very glad they found the monsters who did this so they can't hurt anyone else.

In this thread.

Would love to know how the older one got the gun.

That's so sad.

Her son, Shaun Glassey, 18, was stabbed with a steak knife in West Deptford in March of 2008.

Police say Glassey was the one originally carrying the knife and he had intentions to kill another teen, when his target grabbed the knife. Prosecutors never charged anyone with his death because they said it was self defense.

http://www.nbcnews.com/id/51297242/

Both targeted other kids (though one was a helpless infant).

I do read articles before commenting. I know, rare for a DUer.

penalty. It is sometimes warranted.

But the killers are juveniles, who usually do not get the death penalty. Hopefully, they will get life without parole. I just watched the news story on our local Atlanta TV station. They showed the mother and it was just heartbreaking.

I believe in chain gangs for these animals. Make them work at hard public labor 5 days a week 9 hours a day, with their names on the backs of their jump suits, so all thug wanna bees will see what happens. These thugs know that, if they get a life sentence or the death penalty, they will spend time in a cell, just doing nothing, and they think that will bring them "cred". Make them do hard labor to repay the victims and the state for their crimes. See how gangsta they will be after ten years of hard labor.

make 'em work, work hard in the GA heat and make the work an absolute necessity. For example, make it so that they have to grow their own food, build theiir own shelter, make their own clothes, furniture, tools, etc. No work therefore means: no food, no place to sleep...

There are those with a complete disregard for others and their lives, but this - it's unimaginable. At least he's 17 and will be tried as an adult. I don't give him much of a chance for a long life in the prison system. Shooting a sleeping baby in the face isn't usually a popular move among the inmate population.

We need to ban violent gangs that have such horrific practices.

Because, you know, young white guys never commit violent crimes.

Desensitized as I am to crime stories, this one shook even me up. Just pure cold-blooded fucking evil. No other word for it.

Both should be charged as adults and be sentenced to life w/o parole. I have a feeling the 14 y/o won't be tried as adult though

because that is notoriously unreliable.

These young gentlemen were but mere African-American teenagers (one of them was barely a teen). Teenagers are indeed America's treasure and we should never judge them too harshly ... or too quick.

As in virtually all cases of this nature, it is most probable that they were simply mischievous, impish, "boys being boys." Study their photographs which personifies sentiments of angelic innocence.

Please hold your personal judgement -- and wrath, until after a fair trial.

Thank you

There is only one photo and that is of the 17 year old. He certainly does not have the look of angelic innocence.

Of course a trial needs to be held. But if they are guilty- let justice be swift and brutal. Yes, even to your "treasures" and "mischievous boys being boys". Brutal justice.

Youthful exuberance does not include killing a toddler.

Sorry.

And the mug shot of the one guy? Are you looking at the same photo as I am?

You're so fucking funny! You could take this comedy routine to Fox, I'm sure they'll snap it right up.

There is absolutely nothing funny about two African-American teenagers being arrested for murder based on the chief of police's reasoning that "We checked all the schools that day. They were absent. We have to assume it was them."

Please do not laugh about, mock, taunt and show contempt for this matter until more facts are available.

The mother of the accused 17-year-old has stated to police that her son has a good heart, is a good boy, and could never do something like that.

It is doubtful that such a cherubic and angelically, sweet child could be that evil.

His face reflects a childlilke innocence which surely stimulates the maternal instincts of all women.

Your deadpan delivery is just too too side-splitting. You're killing me. Stop, please, stop.

Then again, I think this is one massive chain yank, so shame on me for even replying.

....really?

come get some of this you sorry piece of unwashed banus.

For a moment I thought that you were serious.

be before the klueless klown klan come out because the shooters were african american and mrs west is white....this is georgia afterall....

like the reich wingers that were going after trayvon martin because of stuff he supposedly did or said.....

They will get a fair trial, but I doubt any jury will find them not guilty.

...who doubt the mother's story.

that is why I think they are guilty.

To ensure as fair a trial as possible, we set up a system so the prosecutor must prove guilt.

It has absolutly nothing to do with people talking and speculating about guilt or innocence.

Trayvon was a victim, these "kids" are not. False and massively stupid equivalence.

Very proud of how quickly they got 'em.

I'm not under the same obligation.

did it, or whether the cops just went out and rounded up the nearest two kids with brown skin and no alibi.

And are they certain the mom didn't kill her own child and then try to blame anonymous kids??

Not trolling or flamebaiting here. I have just watched a few too many true crime shows lately where the real killer tried to blame anonymous black folks.

Interesting first post.

where they have nothing inside them that inhibits them from doing something like that

1. Lets wait for the evidence against the two teens. Too often in the past it was grab the first convenient black face.
2. Can the mother be excluded (or at least determined to not have fired the bullets which hit her).
3. Is it possible that the mothers story is covering up her involvement in a crime (not the far more important crime of killing the child, but there was a case in Nashville years ago in which a dad went to a drug buy with his kid in the back seat - it did not go well and the kid was shot and killed - that is still capital murder for the shooter, but it makes the shooter a little less cold blooded).


If it is as the mother stated, then I see no redemption for the shooter. It will be a lifetime of incarceration. No parole ever. Even on this pretty liberal board, you will find very few that would be comfortable with extending parole even 40 years later for something like this.

It appears that the 17 year old has an alibi. His aunt was serving him breakfast. Could you imagine lying like this to cover up such a crime (if she is lying). If the alibi is cracked, I hope the aunt is prosecuted to the fullest extent as well.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/23/demarquis-elkins-arrested-baby-antonio_n_2939022.html

Or should we assume she was serving him breakfast because she said so?

It could come down to the aunt's credibility versus the other eyewitness testimony (especially that of the possible 14 year old accomplice - he probably gets deal to testify against the 17 year old - that combined with a positive ID by the mother would be enough to trump the aunt's alibi and put her truthfulness into question). Tying the gun (if it is found) to the 17 year old would also do it.

I don't think anyone else has come foward noticing these youths in the area. Perhaps local stores have video? The kids were on foot, a long distance from home? did noone else in car or home,notice 2 youths on the move?

I hope their police get a very firm case, something like gun res. on the shooters hands. If there is no gun res. on the kids hands and no other wittnesses placing them there...I don't think they should take the Moms word for it on the ID off police prepared photo spread. Not that she is outright lying (though that has happened before).

not to the shooting but to seeing people running away and identifying a car.

You do realize that people heard the shots and called 911 immediately? Then someone called in a tip about a car leaving with a person crouching in the back.

There is going to have to be hard evidence (gunshot residue on hands?)

and that the older suspect, Elkins, threatened to kill him

I can't quit thinking about it.

It is just so unbelievably awful even for a society full of awfulness right now.

Particularly if there is a minor who is a perpetrator, both of the child's parents (or guardian) - even if there is no "dad in the picture," should have liability.

If your minor child commits a crime and is convicted, I believe you failed as a parent and should be liable, particularly if no mental illness or physical issue is involved.

I get so angry at the parents when children do something horrific, where were THEY during this kid's development?????

and didn't do anything wrong

judge says that the younger teen will also be charged with murder, not yet clear if charged as juvenile or adult

http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/25/us/georgia-baby-killed/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

if he wants to avoid jail time. Interesting the mother implicated him as a witness contradicting the supposed alibi of the murderer.

the 15 year old's mother is even saying that her son turned in the 17 year old to police

The two of them were trying to rob a woman. He may not have pulled the trigger but it seems like he was a willing participant in the events leading up to the shooting.

The world today makes me cry sometimes.

I hope that he rots in jail.
