  1. I remembered when I was in the military (US Army) stationed at Fort Lewis, Tacoma Washington back in 1979 when a supervisor advised me to watch out who I hang out with, when I look back at the episode, it made a difference in my life today.

  2. It’s not like they killed somebody or something horrible they just did a silly thing breaking in somebody’s house. I hope they learned the lesson and find God and don’t ever come back because in there there are some people that have done a lot worse and they awful thought they could take advantage of those kids harassing that’s not the kind of place for them I’m so glad I found God is my Lord and Savior. Thanks for your program. God bless.

  3. Has anyone REALLY looked at the number of VERY young kids serving long sentences in Indiana? Are all the prisons private?
    They just throw the keys away with the kids. I know I’m not the same person at 43 that I was at 15…. The whole system should be investigated in Indiana, 12-16 year olds with zero parenting should not be told to act like adults by adults who have had the privilege.
    I’m not from Indiana, never even spent a night in the state. Don’t speed, wear your seatbelt, cuz you will get a life sentence.

  4. Without judging they have no guidance for once cause it showed that none of their fathers appear on the shw and there mother's looks like they smoke dope together lbvs they said it a small neighborhood but they got lucky being juveniles

  5. I'm sorry I know what they did was wrong but it wasn't the worst crime to commit so to be charged with murder blows my mind! Also I know home owners have the right to defend their homes and lives but once those boys were in a closet with the door closed, for the home owner to then open fire is NOT self defense!! To me that's murder! He should have faced charges for that in my opinion.

  6. Wow look at all the sin-free perfect people who never made any mistakes as teenagers. So glad you have nothing on your record to cause you to serve the rest of your life for a nonviolent crime

  7. FFS…little angels after all 😇😇… eer NO!! They terrified that homeowner and he has that experience on him for all time now. Don't agree with guns full stop but he was within his rights under US crazy gun laws. Message from this? Stay AWAY from other folks' property, whether it looks occupied or NOT. Just have respect and treat others and their property how you'd like to be treat…leave it AND them the fu** ALONE!!!

  8. These boys actions were silly and immature however I think the reduced sentences were the right thing to do. Yes they should have never of entered that mans house, as a result their friend died and the man will probably experience some level of trauma (which he can get support). However how was locking these kids up for 55, 45 years-like how was that helping the situation? it was so excessive. There are people out there that have done far worse! I'm sure these boys have completely learnt there lessons with the time served. Honestly USA criminal justice system is mad. People, especially those who have made minor/silly mistakes deserve a second chance.

  9. The sentence are ridiculous, they were just kids,these kids are simply just mischievous and immature,they weren't armed and they didn't attack the owner. The sentencing were just too harsh.
