I believe FOX16 reported last night that they are charching him as an adult. So, IF he is convicted, no time juvi.....he's going up to the big time to have 3 squares a day, free health care, satelite t.v....on and on and on. And just remember, WE'RE PAYING FOR IT!

Myself, I'm a big fan of craps. Play it each time I go to the casinos.

Craps is a game that has been played for hundreds of years. Everywhere from the streets, fine gambling halls, to castles. By the richest to the poorest. Craps has been around long before the ghetto. Some need to kick off that hillbilly mentality.

"Dice game" would be referring to craps.

Guess he didnt qualify for the free cell phone program. He was going to rob a dice game for money. That in itself is not a smart move. Demopublican, you are rpobably right. This punk pulled a gun, killed someone, but because he is only 16, our fine justice system will probably charge him in juvenile court or some weak ass prosecutor will offer him a sweet lil plea deal. Prayers go up to the victims family.

Yankee, he won't get life because of our liberal judicial system. He is a juvenile and will be sent to juvi camp for two years and released with no record so he can kill again. Maybe it will be some liberal judges kid next time.

The creep had dough for a gun and ammo, but not for his precious phone minutes? Gimme a break. Hope he gets life.
