14-year-olds charged with homicide, posting Facebook pics

http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2012/12/10/beaver-falls-woman-shot/

Police are searching for two 14-year-old boys, and reported a 13-year-old who are charged as adults with fatally shooting a Beaver Falls woman.

Beaver Falls police have charged Todavia Cleckley and Marcus Velasquez with criminal homicide and other charges in Saturday’s shooting of 22-year-old Kayla Peterson. She was shot at a house about 3:30 p.m. that day and died at Allegheny General Hospital two hours later.

Cleckley’s Facebook page shows a young man posing with a revolver in one hand and a pistol in the other. The photo was posted less than 12 hours after Peterson’s shooting.

"The next thing you know, they just pull out a gun and shoot for no reason. It was just over a cigarette," Edwards said. "Now, my friend lost his girlfriend -- an amazing, amazing girl, and she was such a good mother, too -- and now her child has to grow up without her mother being there."

are beyond redemption.

You would have thought that somewhere along the way they might have been taught cold blooded murder is not acceptable, and might get them more then a time out in the corner.

Sadly, the truth is, a lot of kids who commit crimes were either neglected and/or abused(usually the latter, or both) at some point in their lives.....this is a problem that transcends ethnic boundaries. But, our media doesn't seem to care. It's all about the ratings, my friends.

So I'm guessing neither of these two young gentlemen will ever be able to say, "I've seen plenty of violence on television and in popular culture, and it never compelled me to..."
