Although it was very rare to charge someone so young as an adult, but the Pennsylvania prosecutor left them little choice, it is also very rare for a 12 year old boy to commit a violent crime such as he did.

He didn’t he was in jail for looting a dead German on Voinova Street. He was really rude when I tried to make company, but I could understand why because at times like these you can’t trust anyone.

    I personally have had a few encounters with law enforcement over the years. The two to three times that I have personally been stopped by the police were directly related to procedural motor vehicle stops for speeding. The two of the three stops resulted in just simple warning and I was allowed to leave the encounter after a quick background check. The police officers were extremely respectful and easy-going. I personally was taught to respect each and every police officer and to never make their job harder than it has to be. In essence, I complied with the officers demands and in the end, the situation was resolved efficiently and calmly. The third time I was encountered by the police for a motor vehicle stop was in Virginia. In this scenario,…

    A lot of people wonder is it possible to do something wrong and not feel guilty for it afterwards, the answer for me is yes. Although my answer differs for situations for this situation I don't think I have ever felt guilty.

A typical morning starts out very calm and quiet then usually all hell breaks loose after showers...when it's time to pick out outfits for school.…
