Grand jury identifies Rivera as gunman in death of Taylor

I sure hope they charge this piece of trash as an adult. I’ll be pretty pissed off if he get’s out in a few years because he was 17 when he shot Sean.

Any judge who tries a 17 year old cold-blooded murdering thug as a juvenile should be removed from the bench. I noticed that Rivera was on the shorter side. Tough guy when he has a gun - We'll see how tough he is when mixed with more hardened criminals.

They generally charge 16 & 17 year olds as adults in these crimes.

I remember when I was 17 and I did some silly stuff. Throw snowballs at police cars, drank beer, toilet papered some chicks houses. Just stupid stuff. But never ever ever did me and my friends have a gun nor would we ever break into someones house and steal something. I just can't imagine what the hell these guys were thinking. Didn't they see a car in the driveway? I mean I'm just still in shock over this. But I'll tell you what. I'm considering buying a gun now. I would have no problem blowing some little punk's head off if my house was invaded.

It's such BS that they didn't expect Sean to be home.. They took a LOADED gun into a residence. You don't do that if you don't plan to use it. I hope they throw the book at these punks. Literally and figuratively. I hope it's a nice big fat book too.

Per Florida's statutes, the state's attorney can file a "discretionary waiver" which is a motion requesting the court to transfer the child for criminal prosecution if the child was 14 years of age or older at the time the alleged delinquent act or violation of law was committed.

He's going to be tried as an adult. All I can say is Florida isn't wasting any time. The case is already transferred from juvenile court and an indictment issued in a week? That's really fast.

the sooner they're in the ground the better

Look if any of you are looking for the death penalty for any of these guys you can forget it. The shooter is 17 and the Supreme Court just ruled that it's Unconstitutional to exucute anyone under 18. The rest of these idiots are not even eligible for the death penalty under Florida law.

My big concern is this. Some of these guys will make it back into society one day and believe you me chances are they will be ten times as worthless and 100 times a bigger threat to the general public. There is no justice in that. This nightmare has no end in sight. Or maybe we can start to change things. We gotta get rid of many of the types of the guns in our society that are most frequently used in violent crimes. Period.

I have 3 friends getting guns cus of this.

A gun is an American's Right and Choice and I am not advizing either way. As a non-Active Duty Marine I have a weapon but take it VERY serious. It was made to KILL. Period. Guns are not very serious and I know we have folks on both sides of the fence.

If you use a gun in a crime you should get the MAX of the law. Death or Life...the MAX

Hey I'm not advocating no guns. We just need like you said harsher laws and stronger controls on certain types of guns IMO.
