    I was just thinking the same thing. It's always easy to talk tough when you're not personally involved, but I bet if this kid was someone's dumb little brother they'd think a lot differently. A boy was killed for stealing a necklace. This is old testament shit. Should stoning be acceptable punishment for stealing a potato?

    I agree, maybe bust him in the face a few times, but shooting the kid 7 times while crawling on the ground like that is fucked up..

    The kid wasn't even crawling from the witnesses who saw this. He was just lying there after getting hit by the 71 year old's car.

    Police were only a block away and came after they heard the shots were fired. All he had to do after he hit the kid and got his jewelry back was call the cops. Getting the gun and shooting a motionless body 7 times is just horrible.

    no i would not feel different and i will explain why.

    i had a brother who died of aids...he knew the risks of his life style and accepted them. at his funeral i could not cry. mom seemed upset by my "coldness" so i explained to her. i can not feel sad for him, he knew the risks.

    i was 12 when this happened.

    interesting that it took this thread to make me realize how sad i still am, not that he is dead but he was not willing to make a change...all he had to do was increase his odds by wearing a rubber.....

    Exactly.

    I mean fucking hell, shooting someone because you feel threatened is one thing but hunting them down and unloading 7 bullets into them is murder. His crime is INFINITELY worse.

    Shooting him 7 times is a little much.

    He shoulda just chopped off the kids feet and called it a day.

    infinitely? i dont think so.

    face facts, his name was Jamil and he lived in Philly...a life of crime was not far away.

    defense of property is not justification for using mortal force
    He shot a person with intent to harm without the threat of imminent harm to him or another person

    That is one of the most most closed minded things I have ever read on this board. Jamil Burton had never been arrested, just graduated high school - this shooting happened summer of 2006 and grew up a block from where I did.

    Way to stereotype.

    So you really are justifying yourself in saying that you think because his name is Jamil and he's from Philly that a life of crime was awaiting. The kid made a mistake and obviously didn't know there was an $18,000 dollar ring attached to a chain. I'm not condoning the kid's actions at all, but what he did does not mean he was going to become a career criminal.

    If you really are that close minded and racist, I feel bad for you.

    listen, there are enough asshole kids out there committing crimes and not taking the possible consequences into account. You know why I never robbed anyone? Because I know that anyone can be fucking crazy and pull out a gun on me.

    This kid lacked the cognitive abilities to think about his actions before he perpetrated them ... and for that, in a way he deserves what he got. Natural selection. Don't be stupid and you can prolong your life that much longer.

    And the statement about his name and his hometown was really more of a dig against Philly than his race.

    To this issue, I say goodnight.
