Story has been in the news.....three kids murdered......all teenagers.

The Marion County Sheriff just held a presser I thought was pretty good.

My first thought "that's horrible" and it's still not good, but it sounds like kids (two 16yo girls and a 17yo boy) that were part of a burglary ring were killed by some other juvenile gang members (3 young men, including a 12yo). It's a shame and a waste on all 6 counts, but it seems a lot less tragic after finding out that they are all criminals.

Didn't even know there was a town named Oklawaha, but I've fished up the Oklawaha river (from Little Lake George) many times years ago .... plenty of gators there.

Yep, it's FL, plenty of gators if you want/need them.

"Do I have to spell it out to ya? Gangs don't go to church on Sunday and then preach the gospel for the next 6 days. They're gangs because they commit crimes."

Then later.....

"In a fray at the school. Whoa. That's like a light bulb comin' on right there..."

If I lived in Marion County Florida, a Sheriff I'd vote for as long as he wanted the job.

OCALA — A teenager and a 12-year-old have been charged in the deaths of three teens whose bodies were found along a Florida roadside and in the trunk of a partially-submerged vehicle, authorities said Friday. Another teen is being sought.

Law enforcement officials were “shocked” by the young ages of the victims and alleged killers, Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods said at a news conference. The older suspect in custody is 17, and police are still searching for a 16-year-old.

I’d like the Sheriff.

It’s hard to believe a 12-year-old and 16 year-old killing other teenagers. Makes me wonder about the future.

An update with more info.......

Great to hear that the last suspect was caught!

Senseless and horrible. The three murderers need to be culled from the herd, permanently. The victims were not deserving, but playing stupid games...
