Teen Charged With Mowing Down Cyclists Is Champion Livestock Breeders Son
The apparently well-connected teenage driver charged at long last with six felony counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly mowing down six bicyclists outside Houston after purposely belching a thick cloud of black diesel exhaust at them has been identified as the son of a competition livestock breeding family in the area.
On Monday, lawyers for the injured cyclists named the 16-year-old suspects parents as Jason and Jennifer Arnold of Waller, Texas. The couple, who specialize in raising and showing sheep and goats and serve on the lamb committee of the Waller County Fair, have a 16-year-old son who has won prizes for his champion lambs. In 2020, the young mans 92-lb. market goat was named the fairs grand champion.
Reached by phone, Jason Arnold, 43, immediately hung up when asked about the charges against his son, whose name The Daily Beast is not publishing pending a formal announcement by authorities. In a follow-up text message, Arnold, who also processes venison for local deer hunters, referred all inquiries to the teens lawyer.
My client and his family continue to pray for the quick recovery of the injured bikers, attorney Rick DeToto told The Daily Beast. Due to the confidentiality laws surrounding juvenile proceedings, we have no further comment at this time.

Makes me wonder.
Can the parents shelling out money bring justice to this situation?
Maybe thats whats wrong with a capitalistic societyeven justice has a price.

Also, "he is too young to understand the harm he caused.", or some horseshit like that.

(2,343 posts)to give up all their livestock as penalty, and be forced to operate a vegan bbq joint in that town. And that vegan bbq joint must remain their only source of income. And no shipping product to other parts of the world which might like to try vegan bbq. They can only do business with the people who live in that town. Oh, and no accepting donations or gofundme either. They gotta bootstrap themselves.
I'm trying to make it extremely difficult for them to have a good life.

(15,958 posts)He knew what he was doing and that what he was doing was wrong but he was brought up to think this was fun and games.
He should pay for his cruel and deviant behavior and he should own up to his evil ways.
My tears are happy tears he is finally being brought up on murder charges.
