Regarding the Detroit murder: Certainly the shooter deserves to be hung regardless of age. But a question lingers. Why was a pretty small town girl in crack-infested Detroit after midnight looking for work as a stripper? I guess the lure of fast money sometimes rules over common sense and morality.

The fact that an unsupervised 12 year old man-child is armed and roaming Detroit streets late at night is no surprise. A cute and naive out-of-towner needs to show some better smarts and not be a source of easy fresh meat for inner-city predators. A beautiful young woman is now gone; the victim of a murderous creature and her own want for money and excitement.
