POS parenting is what helped to cause this situation, IMVHO! These people need to be brought to trial for their failure as parents and educators, and need to STFU!

Police have released the names of the shooter and the alleged 14-year-old robber killed when two masked suspects entered a Tulsa convenience store late Thursday.

Tulsa Police Capt. Dave Roberts said two robbers walked into Zeba Food Mart No. 2, at 506 E. 56th St. North, with a rifle around 10:45 p.m. and started shooting. Zahid Khan, an employee at the store, returned fire with a handgun, shooting one of the masked intruders.

Qualynn Dabney, 14, was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot to the upper torso, police said Friday. The other robber fled, Roberts said. Khan told police the masked suspects came into the store armed with long rifles.

Detectives reported they recovered a .22-caliber rifle next to Dabney's body.

Dabney's family said Friday that he didn't have a gun, and it was the other suspect at the scene who was carrying the weapon.

Might be a little cold but at least no innocent people died, and he won't do that again. I do agree his parents, if you can call them that should be charged with child neglect.

From the Tulsa Arts Council about the program:

Quote:
Phoenix Rising
Phoenix Rising is Growing Stronger than ever and enthusiasm for the arts continues to grow! Youth who participate in the program are adjudicated teens who are not attending public school due to suspension and/or truancy. Most have not had the opportunities afforded to their peers to participate in the arts and are extraordinarily creative and interested.
Yeah, he was a model citizen...


...some friggin angel, and the bleeding hearts are apologizing that society has let them down... What Horsecrap.

A truant, possibly a violent trouble maker hooks up with other would-be felons, to rob a store and gets killed... His choice, and he paid the price.

I think the clerk needs a medal.

For over 10 years, I used to work 2 days a week at a local juvenille detension center, doing PT rehab with the little "angels". I can count on ONE hand the number of kids there that didn't belong there!!! The vast majority had NO parenting or parenting by example with one or BOTH of their parents in prison. They had NO remorse for what they had done, and were looking to "the system" to "take care of them!" The staff - who ALL have a direct pass to Heaven for tolerating these "little angels" - had WORSE health care benefits than these ingrateful POS! But WE owed them ...

Unfortunately, these kids and the kid in this article are becoming more and more common, and I totally agree that the parents need to be prosecuted, if not keel-hauled!!!

I hated Tuesdays and Thursdays back then, but it truly made me appreciate my boys, and the GREAT kids I used to coach even more!!!

Zero sympathy. He got his just rewards.

If you didn't know he was out committing armed robbery, how do you know he didn't have a gun?

Excuse my lack of sympathy…

Just like clockwork tomorrow we will see that this youth was just moments away from turning his life around, he was going to join the monastery and save other youths from his life of misdeeds, etc, etc, etc.
This was a fatal mistake on his part, oh well.

A Tulsa teenager has been charged with first-degree felony murder in the attempted armed robbery that left the other apparent robber, 14-year-old Qualynn Dabney, shot to death last week.
Demari Devon Frazier, 15, was also charged Friday with attempted robbery with a firearm in connection with the Sept. 16 incident.
Dabney was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to the upper torso.

Police allege that Frazier and Dabney entered a convenience store at 506 E. 56th St. North wearing masks about 10:45 p.m. Sept. 16. Dabney fired several shots from a .22-caliber rifle before pointing the weapon at a store clerk, identified as Zahid Abbas Khan, police allege in Frazier's arrest record.
Khan returned fire with a handgun, hitting Dabney in the chest.
Frazier was armed with a .380-semi auto pistol, the arrest report states.
He was arrested Sunday, but his name was not released until Friday, when he was charged as an adult in connection with Dabney’s death.
Tulsa County Assistant District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler said the law allows for Frazier to be charged with "felony murder" even though he didn’t pull the trigger because Frazier and Dabney were in the commission of a felony when Dabney died.

“In Oklahoma, under the felony murder doctrine, if you are in violation of a statute and it results in the death of another person involved, you can be held responsible for that person’s death,” Kunzweiler said. “That doctrine is designed to hold people accountable for the dangerous nature of their conduct.”

Accountability. What a novel idea.

If accountability had been practiced at home, the 14 y/o would most likely not be dead now. As it is, his day of reckoning came, ultimate accountability was his and he paid for his actions. I hope his companion pays as well.

Bill Cosby has similar things to say; quoting roughly:

"I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing
there in an orange suit.

Where were you when he was 2?

Where were you when he was 12?

Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he
had a pistol?"
