Saddest crime story I read so far, today.

Even if they do find the little thugs, then what?
Juvie Hall, which in most towns is a school for thugs?

SWAT teams were going door-to-door in a small coastal Georgia city on Friday looking for suspects after a baby was killed and his mom shot a day earlier.

then juvie, probably for the younger one, but the older one can be tried as an adult for murder and either sentenced to death, depending on the charges, or sentenced to life in prison with or without the possibilty of parole.

bear some kind of responsibility? If my kid shot A BABY in a robbery, I'd feel pretty damn guilty myself.

why would they kill the one person that could not identify them, but leave the one who can alive? something does not smell right..

Count me cynical...I'll see how this story unfolds, the local news are already saying that the mother gave different versions of the story

It could have happened that way, I suppose... or it was made to look that way...
