WOW. The twelve year old stabbed his eight year old sister.

[alphafemale]

Made up the story about the long haired dark man.

Who didn't suspect this day one?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Now, THAT'S a dysfunctional family.

So sad.

[alphafemale]

32. It is. Instinct is for a big brother to defend his sister

My big brother tormented me to tears and provoked me to learn to fight.

But I had no real fear of him. And I knew he was my bear if shit got real.

[Common Sense Party]

2. I didn't.

Because I have NO idea what you are talking about.

You could provide a link, or some background context, or something.

[alphafemale]

3. Turn on a newz channel.

I only have a tablet at the moment. linking sux on this.

[Common Sense Party]

4. I don't have one to turn on.

And I am on a tablet too

[Common Sense Party]

7. Gracias.

I have not heard anything about this story until now.

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. De nada, I am shocked it went national, honestly

[Jenoch]

12. You are shocked that the story

of a 12 year-old boy stabbing to death his 8 year-old sister went national?

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. These stories used not to

[Jenoch]

19. I agree that there are many stories

that go national that did not used to. This does not appear to be one of those if you ask me.

A week ago there was a story that went national about an idiot arrested in a small town in Minnesota because he has some pipe bombs and molotov cocktails. That was a local story that did not deserve national attention. If he killed somebody with those devices, then it should go national.

[Comrade Grumpy]

14. The story went national when the boy accused a "long-haired stranger."

[alphafemale]

9. So I'm a tad lazy.

I knew someone would post it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. I try to give context on OP

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Decades ago I transported an 11 Y/o kid stabbed multiple

times by his 15 year old brother.

Kid survived, not for lack of effort from older brother. I credit extremely good pre hospital care and being in the OR within an hour.

The courts found the older brother to be incapable of standing trial and instead sent him to a mental hospital.

[Are_grits_groceries]

15. Sadly, I thought this was where it would end up. Nt

[alphafemale]

17. It is the most reasonable assumption.

A random long haired Hispanic broke in n a house to stab an eight year old in the heart....stole nothing and left the boy untouched....ok.

bullshit.

[pnwmom]

35. The article said white or Latino. n/t

[pnwmom]

16. That is the allegation by the prosecutor, not a fact proven at trial. n/t

[alphafemale]

18. Continue to defend the little shit.

You are a fool.

[Jenoch]

20. pnwmom may have worded her post

in a manner that could use some work, but she is essentially correct. If the boy and his defense attorney keep to the story about the long-haired intruder, the prosecutor will indeed need to prove the story false.

[alphafemale]

22. I imagine they have the knife

dude

[Jenoch]

26. Why are you tellng me this?

[alphafemale]

27. You think a twelve year old hid a knife that well.

They found it. Damn well they found and got the little shits prints on it.

[Jenoch]

31. I do not know the facts of the case.

I have made no claims about the facts of the case.

You seem to be lecturing me and I do not know why.

[pnwmom]

34. Do you have a link supporting what you are saying? n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

38. Link

Will be waiting

[pnwmom]

33. Yeah, who needs a trial? We're Democrats, so we don't believe in any of that trial "shit."

People who take the prosecution's side before any facts ever come to trial or before any confession is made are the fools.

They also clearly don't believe that there is any point to having a judicial system.

[pnwmom]

37. (self delete)

[JI7]

21. i was thinking this when the story first came out

how the boy claimed to have seen the suspect but there was lack of info on the suspect. the whole thing itself made no sense.

[Sunlei]

23. a little kid crime of passion. I hope the courts treat him right.

[alphafemale]

29. I hope he rots in a cell. nt

[HipChick]

24. At least he didn't make up a story that a black man did it.

[malaise]

25. My first thought

Probably very few black people in his neighborhood

[alphafemale]

28. He made up a story about a Hispanic man. little hateful shit. nt

[HipChick]

30. oh..well...there goes that theory

[pnwmom]

36. No, he said it was white man, either a white Latino man or a white man

of some other background.

[shanti]

40. hispanic?

i'm here in sacramento and the nooz was saying it was a man with long gray hair. they mentioned nothing about ethnicity.

[pnwmom]

41. Right. You probably read something like this, as I did:

http://www.rgj.com/viewart/20130513/NEWS12/305130049/Brother-Family-shocked-sad-over-Leila-Fowler-killing-arrest

The boy told investigators last month that he saw a tall man with gray hair flee the family’s home and then found his sister bleeding from stab wounds.

[pnwmom]

39. The family has asked people to withhold judgment till the evidence proves who killed their daughter.

Which seems reasonable to me, since we're still supposed to have a system that requires the state to actually prove guilt -- a system that protects all of us. I thought progressives, at least, still believed in civil rights.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/father-stands-12-year-son-arrested-sister-leila/story?id=19169625#.UZG1TI73CYM


The father of a 12-year-old boy arrested in the stabbing death of his 8-year-old sister, Leila Fowler, said he supports his son and believes he is innocent until evidence proves otherwise.

Barney Fowler told The Associated Press today that his family is standing behind the boy "until they have the proper evidence to show it's my son."
