Check out CNN video...16-year old who somehow got OUT of a police crusier, and jumped over a bridge...
Society's fault? No, he did society a FAVOR...
Your thoughts?

What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Just because the kid is in a police car, he is guilty of something and should be punished in such a way? He did society a favor? What a sick mind. What if that was your kid, scared or in trouble, do you think you would have the same thoughts? I agree that it wasn't a smart thing to do, to say the least, but your way of thinking is awful. Hope you never have kids or if you do/have, that yours don't do something stupid. It will be YOUR gene pool!

The kid was local to me so we've got a ton of news about it here...
He was just a kid... native Spanish speaker... he'd been drinking at the family home and was called to pick up a friend after 1a.m.
He was a nice kid in general it seems... but came from a family who allowed him to drink at home and then drive the family car. The problem was not the kid... it was perhaps his environment and lack of appropriate behavioral guidelines at home.
His mother's not buying the whole story, by the way. The police officer is saying young man was in the front seat of the cruiser (officer was going to put the friend in the back seat) and he was handcuffed behind his back and had been buckled into the seat belt. Officer claims that in the time it took him to turn away and walk toward the other vehicle, he turned around and the passenger door was open, the kid had unbuckled himself (while cuffed behind his back?) opened the door, gotten out, climbed over the railing and jumped?
Officer says then he could "see him struggling in the water."
This is a kid who did nothing to resist arrest and wasn't difficult in any way?
I'm not sure, given the attitude toward Hispanics/Latinos in my area, that I'd be buying the story either. I want to hear from the kid's friend...
But a teenager making a horrible judgment call while drinking (assuming this is even what happened) is nothing new... and nothing to be happy about... and his family is grieving his loss. As far as I'm concerned for a life to be gone just like that... it's just sad. The fact that it appears, at this moment, to have been fairly senseless, just makes it sadder.
I know he just seems like some kid in the news... but if you see his mother's face while her heart breaks over her child's death, you realize he was a real person with people who loved him and who are trying to cope now with this very public loss.

servival of the fitist dictates theat the idiots will (hopefully) spare of from future generations of idiots
i like to consider myself a somewhat educated individual that trys to look at the world with some sort of rational, with that said i was prolly like that 16 yr old 9 years ago, thankfully ive grown up alot but im still a bit goofy at times, cranky others, with a dash of normality, with that said ive made the conscience desicion not to have kids, that way the idiots of society can have them for me
(why is it poor families have 6 or more kids and well educated moderatly wealthy no not to have any more than 2-3?

I heard about that. Jesse Jackson and the NAACP will have a freakin' field day with that!
Before you know it, the parents will be on TV, swearing that the cops THREW him off the bridge, they'll sue, and win millions, if not billions, cause their son was an idiot.

Bummer, I was hoping to see video of the jump and his carcass being hauled from the water.
