#Alabama #Guns #Shooting
If the shooters were white it would be plastered all over the internet… And there would be massive Outrage and riots. Their silence says everything we need to know
The parents need to be held accountable as well. 16 yr Olds don’t normally commit murder. Do better
U can’t call them minors and when they commit a crime suddenly their adults wit adult brains . That’s just ridiculous. Put them in ju-v till their 18 and release them .
no one is mentioning: How did they get the guns??? hello why? guns everywhere for under age people to get it???why do we need guns??
There should be a law that makes it illegal for a minor to possess a firearm….oh wait…
Death penalty does not Deter Heinous Crimes. Imbeciles below. Just put them on a island
Oh, it most definitely does.
You can thank violent video games and the Jesuit freemason pawns in the hip hop and rap industry for this. Could be mk ultra
Bring back the big yellow mama and make it public hopefully that will stop this don’t know what I mean Google it
I can’t imagine why they didn’t mention Race ?
Why no description of the shooters or their home addresses so their can be mostly peaceful protests……
In USA, it’s easier to get guns than driver license.
Other civilized countries require testing, registrations, licenses, training in order to get guns.
Result is gun violence is almost zero in other countries.
Other countries don’t have the entitled thugs that America does. And these guns were bought on the street from other thugs who stole them.
Funny how 85% of violent crime is in democrat cities with the strictest guns laws 😂
I did some research blacks in the United States commit crimes at three times their proportion of the population. It’s the same for blacks in Europe as well. It’s the people.😂
How could they find these kids? Witness statements and dozens of casings with finger prints
They went with the finger prints and camera footage. Probly had priors so not too difficult to find. None of the witnesses snitched.
@Deb Gordon none snitched publicly*
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 for Alabama and this Country. So many senseless murders through out the Country. Young people you have more to look forward to besides Prison!!! Yes charge them as an Adult. Young people go to college, serve your Country, help the elderly, do something besides take a life. It’s not yours to take!!! God created all to Love one another, to serve then you will be Blessed!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
black lives matter 😂😂😂😂😂 🦍🦍
Gang thugs killed gang thugs, nothing to see here.
Interesting how quick mainstream media was to announce the race of the man who shot somebody trying to enter his house in the middle of the night. But they are making sure they do not mention the race of these two teens because it blows apart their narrative
Black on black crime doesn’t hold the attention of those salivating for an excuse to scream racism. This story will be swept under the rug quickly.
Thank you Kay Ivey
Because your tired of it ain’t gonna stop it.
Kind of weird they won’t release their mugshots must not be white
Sounds like white supremacists to me. That’s the number one cause of all the problems in this country right uncle Joe.
You can’t go out anywhere without fear of being shot it’s just unbelievable.
This entire country is now a war zone. That is why I stay indoors after dark.
I am sick of mass shootings and regular shootings for that matter! I have a hard time for any reason that 2 bothers 16&17 would have any reason to open fire on a whole group of people just randomly shooting (although I’m sure more details are coming out) I still don’t care NOTHING should bring 2 teenagers to do this! It’s as if they really don’t have ANY appreciation for life… It’s just horrific and I also feel that the 23 year old that showed up has some relevant information I believe he showed up to warn or check on someone and after he showed up that’s when the shooting admittedly started….who knows… 🙏 SAD.
Don’t mention the color guys .
We all know what the color is.
They momma will tell you what gud boys they wuz.
Criminals killing Criminals
Hmmm we didnt hear about this. I wonder why? Maybe its bc the shooters were “not white”
This is just ridiculous how many Godamn more man
Were they not invited?…this is mental sickness and definitely premeditated 😔
So many thoughts and prayers that I’m sure the god almighty that created the universe and all living things, WILL STOP THE NEXT MASS SHOOTING! Because it’s not the guns, it’s god just doesn’t have enough thoughts and prayers yet. BUT WE”RE CLOSE I BET!
OUTSTANDING work to all those responsible for capturing these monsters. DEATH PENALTY TO BOTH OF THEM. Co signed brother from the Go aka Chicago.
Jail no bail. Put them away for life.
I’m assuming the teens are black before watching
13/90 club
But Nora O’Donnell just reminded me that White Supremes are the real problem.
I couldn’t wait till the end, did they show pictures or descriptions of the shooters?
Both shooters were minors. The FBI needs to be brought into this to help trace back to where those boys got the guns from if they don’t wanna give up that info since they obviously didn’t legally purchase them. Whoever they got the guns from needs to be in prison right along with them.
What a senseless, horrible tragedy. That whole town will never be the same again.
GUAD IS NOT A NAME. COME ON!
Bring the death penalty back! Across the US. Put them front of the line for court. Don’t name the shooter in media. Speed up the penalty.
They can be cell mates. Put ‘em to work in the prison laundry and kitchen.
In the kitchen in the summertime there’s no air-conditioning there and it’s right on the Alabama coast nice hot humid Breeze😂
Lets gooooo USA 🇺🇸
Why ain’t the MSM talking about the race of the shooters? Or why said race is committing MASS shootings DAILY- or asking why 6-13% of a population is responsible for over 50% of all homicide?? Why is race ONLY important IF it’s a YT offender?…… well? Lemme guess- to ask such a thing is surely “RRRRRRRRAACIST” right?? 🤔🙄
Is Guad short for Guadalupe?
How many people died?
I think 4
Good thing they just started letting people given life sentences as juveniles out of prison. They deserve a second chance. (After killing their mother and 2 sisters at ages 14 and 6.) These guys will be out after 10yrs ,pending good behavior. Sickening.
Very high-profile case multiple felonies multiple murders multiple attempted murders they’ll be lucky if they get out in 25 years on parole
Johnny tell these brothers what they’ve won! Congratulations you have won a lifetime membership to the Alabama Department of Corrections all-expenses-paid. Welcome to the Holman unit sorry we don’t have air conditioning😂😂😂
People don’t believe in right and wrong either way it’s not nice… Lord God thanks for bringing these’s people to justice. Blessings and Protection hallelujah AMEN.
Why would they be so keen to keep the details to themselves?
Because the shooters were black, and they want to prevent people from learning about how violent they are.
Thoughts and prayers is all America will do
They won’t allow anyone to do anything. Derp, derp🤤.
Why are these kids so cruel nowadays? I don’t know if I’m the only one who believes they have so little empathy, they think they are invincible, they barely respect adults , I’m in shock 😢
75% fatherless homes and a terrible culture, gov enabled
Because most parents are popular with their kids rather than being parents.
Release their faces don’t hide them
REMEMBER AMERICA BLACK LIVES
There was more then 2 shooters …
Death penalty
Can we assume it’s the usual suspects?
Show there faces
They shot the people because they didn’t play rap ha ha
When they don’t mention the race of the shooters, that tells me they’re black
If you want to remove any racial bias or ambiguity of the death penalty, I’ve always suggested the following: 1) must be at least 18 2) must have committed more than one murder 3) previous murder convictions count, including as a minor 4) unborn children don’t count 5) applies automatically 6) no more than 10 years on incarceration prior to execution 7) cannot be repealed by a lone governor but a board (newly added since GOP seem to be okay with releasing racist murderers) but requires a board (appointed by legislation) to review any new evidence or considerations. 8) ordering or organizing a hit qualifies as well. 9) no QFAD exceptions.
This will take care of your serial ks, your spree ks, your family murders, your hitmen, your gang-related
Don’t talk to me about “thinking about mamma” as if shaming shooters is going to stop them from doing what they do. If authorities in Alabama were so “tired of it” then they would do something even remotely tangible, something more effectual, take some common sense action(s) to curb gun possession and ownership by a segment of people who have no business walking around with firearms of any kind.
1990 drive by shooting
2023 mass shooting
Why hasn’t President Biden called the families of these victims? He wasted no time calling Ralph Yarl’s family and Ralph lived.
It’s probably because she rejected him that’s why he and the other guy shot up the place
Unfortunately no one knows what really happened 😕
so sad
Were they white or black?
this is only news because it happened in alabama.
this is just what happens every day in chicago
more like a bitter 16
Well the thumbnail of a building tells us exactly what they look like…
Domestic Terrorist …
😢😢😢😢😢
Shootings occur almost every day in the United States.
It’s quite frankly abnormal.
Are we in a civil war?
i am outraged that more people aren’t blasting the media for not mentioning that these two white men that committed this horrifying act where taken alive. had this been any person of color they would have been hunted down and killed like animals. i can only assume that these two murderers are a couple white privileged suburban men. Yet another ar15 machine gun loving maga supporter. I would say it was their white skin that made them do it but we all know the ar15bazookatankmissle is the real culprit. ban all intercontinental nuclear moon lasers ASAP!!!!
Yes!! About time teenagers are to be judged as an adults. If they commit adults crime, as such they must be judge and sentenced 👍
Now 3 Arrested
My only question is WHY and THREE PEOPLE?! They best ALL be charged as adults. You murder as a kid, you stay in prison for life or…death.
Actually, if you’re under 18 you’re exempt from receiving the death penalty, even if you’re charged as an adult
BLM?
*Lazy reporting!* There are 32 surviving victims that could have been interviewed –but weren’t.
That’s *lazy reporting!* CBS has better coverage (“Mother and daughter speak out after Alabama Sweet 16 mass shooting”).
Gang related obviously
Death penalty!!
Where will the protest for instant justice be held on this one? In other news they wonder why someone wouldn’t trust a teen at their door at night.
How many Prayers do you lot keep giving? And yet your prayers turn to stone. Stop praying and do something.
Jesus Christ called people everywhere to repent, so if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved and inherit the kingdom of heaven and eternal life. To this, people would accept Jesus Christ in life in their hearts and told other people how good he is, how he saves, heals and frees and gives eternal life for free 16
(0:51) Other perpetrators would also like to know that…
DEATH PENALTY
Charge their parents. They can’t control/ should be allowed have kids
Sending prayers and strength to the community. Please change the gun laws in United States for the children that are the victims. 🇨🇦
surprised you even bothered to cover it ???? they’re black !!!!!
This is Alabama. Uh oh, I’m outta here.
it should read ”two BLACK teens arrested in Alabama sweet 16 mass shooting” BUT no the FAKE news media doesnt want you to know that BLACKS commit mass shootings too…not just WHITE people…
They don’t drink, they don’t cuss they wanna ride on the front of the bus
Is this event the meaning of :
“Black Lives Matter”
When jealousies are the core of intelligence…. it’s best to stay 🏡
n°x mass shooting news
us: we need more weapoons!!!!
SAVE LIVES! GUN. REFORM. NOW. ..putting people in jail, sadly ain’t gonna stop the killin’ folks (it will fill private prisons), neither will capital punishment. ONLY eliminating guns /weapons of war from our streets will..as for the 2nd Amendment? Would rather have my niece at our Thanksgiving table, than an unbridled amendment. The 2nd Amendment is the only amendment, which hasn’t been amended. GUN. REFORM. NOW. ❤
😂 “we will put you in jail” and never change our laws and outlook on guns to actually save people
And…. It was the typical ghetto bunnies
Seems to be a everyday event, yet you do nothing. Those that fail to change things for the greater good, for the children, will answer to God.
Your second amendment, perhaps right for its time on day one, now hangs around your neck like a curse.
Does Alabama have the death penalty??
