Shouldn't the boys who did it be apologizing????

Walker: Shouldn't the boys who did it be apologizing giving all the skin for grafts this kid needs without any anesthesia????

FTFY.

Everyone is different. No two teenagers are not on fire.

After "donating" skin for the grafts, they can recuperate in this (new window)

If you really love someone you better set them on fire.

The next day, the group of five teens allegedly surrounded Brewer and, according to eyewitnesses, yelled, "He's a snitch. He's a snitch" before one of them poured alcohol over him, another sparked a lighter, and Brewer was ablaze.

All of the boys had been friends since elementary school, authorities said. They did sleepovers at one another's homes, and their families knew each other.

Thank you! But I'd appreciate a more pragmatic salute. In other words... ...extinguish me!

Yea, i bet they're praying for his recovery,cause if he dies their son will charged with murder.

You know the reason society gets to look down on people that do these horrible things?

'cause they don't do these horrible things. As they say

I'm torn on this one....part of me hopes the little farkers who set him alight are sent to prison for a long, long, long time.


Another part of me is intrigued by the fact that burning boy's screams can be heard on the 911 tape. I bet they are hilarious, in that glad-it's not-happening- to-me kind of way.

So the burned kid didn't pay someone for a video game? Then when one of the teens collected on the debt by taking the burned kids father's bike, the burned kid ratted them out?

That idiot burned kid was taught a very good lesson - pay your bills. If he survives, it will be a lesson he'll never forget. I'd say the burning was a proper payback for that idiot. They should all call it a "draw" and walk away from this.

A variation on the popular "snitches get stitches" policy is apparently "narcs get sparks."

Teach a kid to build a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.
Set a kid on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Prosecutors have until November 12 to charge the five as adults, or they will be charged as juveniles and released pending trial later.

The 13-year-old cannot face adult charges under Florida law, but that would change if Brewer died.


Jeez. Isn't it ironic that kids have to do something totally irresponsible before the law will treat them like a responsible adult?

Treygreen13: I had a lot of problems in that fight. I could never actually get the fire extinguisher to put him out.

You have to go into shooting mode and pretty much empty it onto anything glowing. I didn't know to do that and figured the standard attack button would activate it, like a special event. I clubbed him to death the first go-round. Whoops.

And what the hell ever happened to snitches get stitches? Just beat the little kid up, not cripple him. Jeebus.

My favorite part:
"The Jarvis family has received death threats, according to family members and their attorney. They haven't stayed at their home since the incident, they say, adding that people have been throwing garbage and even dead animals on their property."

Geez, they might have to move. Hard to belive the locals don't want a family full of criminally insane kids in their neighborhood anymore.

Also: B-o-o h-o-o.

FTFA - The Jarvis family has received death threats, according to family members and their attorney. They haven't stayed at their home since the incident, they say, adding that people have been throwing garbage and even dead animals on their property.

So the point of this apology was for the rest of her family's security. This makes much more sense now as I thought talking to the media was the LAST thing the parents of the accused should be doing.

 
Shut_up_and_fark_me 2009-11-06 02:25:56 PM  
Wait, the family of the victim didn't even show up? This is not an apology, it's a PR stunt the Jarvises engineered to try to end the harassment they are receiving.
