...but I can't even begin to state how strongly I'm opposed to applying it to children. And a 17-year-old is a child.


Well, this "child" Rivera has been a busy boy....

Our young urchin was scoping out Taylor's residence a short time before murdering Taylor...

Before that, the little tyke was arrested in October for dealing/trafficking cocaine and methamphetamine...

And before that, this little whippersnapper was behind bars for altering the identification number on a firearm...

(Information from the Lee County Sheriff¹s Office records)

Yeah, our poor little ankle-biter is truly just a 'child' - almost makes you want to write a Dickens-like novel. I can see it now...our young imp Mr. Rivera walks into a bank, holds up a teller, and shouts out, "please sir, gimme more!!!"

All this before age 18...imagine what crimes this little tadpole would have committed after his 18th birthday.

Quite a boy...mamma's little gangsta.

So...a child? Baloney. These were adult crimes. I'll bet this 'kid' felt he wanted to be treated and recognized as an adult. Well, let's give him his wish.
