Boy 11 shoots girl 8 over seeing a Puppy

‘A child who commits first-degree murder cannot be willy-nilly turned loose into society

The 11-year-old boy was inside his Tennessee mobile home, talking with three girls who were standing outside.
The group included 8-year-old McKayla Dyer and her sister, who was also 11, according to court documents. During the conversation that night, Oct. 3, the boy asked the girls to go get their puppies. The girls declined.
The boy left. When he returned, the documents state, he was carrying a BB gun and 12-gauge shotgun.
He “then announced to the girls that he had guns,” according to court documents. “The victim then laughed at [the boy], and stated that she believed they were not real.
“[The boy] then made certain the gun was loaded, cocked the hammer of the gun, and shot the victim just above the heart at a downward trajectory, from a distance of 3-5 feet from inside his window.”

Well, when the AK47 is next to the cheerios, which is next to the ritalin, which is in a trailer park full of retarded, regressed, super dumbed-down folk....not really a surprise.

Maybe he was asking to see their puppies , not the canine ones.

Sad indeed , maybe I shouldn't joke. RIP.

I politely asked for a link.

I'm not going to google for him.

He started the thread.

What should the courts do with a child like that? He's obviously too dangerous to be loose, and putting 11 year old children away for life is as unacceptable as releasing him.

He does not fit into the juvenile or adult criminal systems.

What level was his reasoning?
Was it the level of a child in that he became upset and instead of shouting at or hitting the girl he did what he knew was possibly just an extension of this and got his gun?

At eleven he can't reason like an an adult yet - the whole issue of 'consequences' isn't quite ingrained in them at this age.

But again, another sad saga in the spectrum of gun ownership . . . yup, he was 'educated about guns' but that doesn't mean much when emotions come into it.
