17 year old punk thought he was disguised. It took 1 day to find him. Oh, and he has been arrested 15 times.

It is Saturday morning and I am not fully awake yet, so maybe I'm not braining too well yet.

I don't understand the reference to the "sore thumb."

The expression is that something “stands out like a sore thumb.”
Ever since I was a little kid I have wondered why a sore thumb was so obvious, but then I questioned a lot of expressions that were common in my youth.

When one has been arrested 15 times in one's young life, one can expect one's face to be known to the local constabulary. Particularly when one robs a guy at an ATM, all of which have cameras...

Either the author of the article intended to make the adult-behaving murderer out to be misguided child or the author intended to deliver a racial bitch slap of the first order.

I'll hope the latter, knowing it was the former.

There was a time when this level of evidence would result in a 17-year old being hanged 30 days after conviction. Instead this piece of shit will lived for decades being fed and warehoused at the expense of the law abiding.

He killed someone. Sadly, I wonder if he will even do two years before he is paroled.

"The city of North Miami Beach will not tolerate this type of behavior," Rand said."

"Records show that Hill has been arrested 15 other times in South Florida since 2011"

Apparently you will tolerate it.

2nd degree murder charge?

If killing someone during a robbery is not 1st degree, then what is?


Because son, it is what you are supposed to do.

Is Rand suggesting that there are some places where murder is acceptable behavior and is tolerated? Maybe if you and your colleagues had done their damned jobs and kept this piece of trash off the streets, Mt. Steve would still be alive today.
