#KXAS #Sonic #Texas
So sad that everything turns so violent. My prayers for both families 🙏🌹❤️
The 12 year old needs to be put down. He’s no longer needed within the human race.
The public is a menace.
Texas wants everyone to carry guns… guns are weak.
Get murdered working a crappy minimum wage job. What a world.
Filth. Public hanging, nothing short thereof.
Because America sure loves its guns. Enjoy
My grandma sure did that time having a gun saved her life.
No war but the class War
throw the parents of any kid who shoots anyone in prison too. kids shouldnt be getting ahold of guns. and if they do, that should not only throw themselves in prison but their parents. maybe parents would be more mindful of these killing machines.
Lock him up and throw the key away. He must’ve been a slower than average 12 year old to do something this stupid and pointless
Influence on TV, movies, social media teach no moderation or problem resolution skills, just how extreme behavior gets you 15 minutes of fame. No values, ethics, morals or respect for others could be the issue. Parents? Not always but, often.
This is Texas, you can count on the kids having AR-15s too.
Texans love their guns
Texans just love their guns. No more prattle about “responsible gun owners” and defending your home from violent intruders. That is such a myth. Rarely does that really happen. It is sickening anywhere. Oh, and people from Texas, please stop announcing where you come from when you travel. No one cares, absolutely no one.
Gun lovers love guns more than people. That’s the problem.
Welcome to Texas yall!
USA weather forecast period
The military rifles in the hands of civilians should all be rounded up and placed in the military armories. The gun manufacturers should be stopped from selling those military style rifles to civilians. Make them liable for any killings by the guns they sold to the public. I do not think our government cares enough to do this so it would greatly surprise me if they did anything close to what I advise.
I add, the alternative is to… I plead the 5th and will keep the alternatives to myself.
Texas has the death penalty….
Psalm 23:1-6
Psalm 35:1-28
KJV BIBLE
🙏 praying for the victim’s family, and everyone at Sonic. This is horrible.
It’s getting worse every day
Maybe if these shooters would start going after Greg Abbot and the republicans, we might get some laws , besides if anyone deserves it , it is Abbot and the republicans
Urinating in the parking lot
Betting that apple didn’t fall far from the tree
Illegal immigrants
Is live cremation still legal as a death penalty in TX? Because that 12 year old has earned it
You guys voted for Abbott, now you have him.
This is getting too crazy
Gen Z, ladies and gentlemen.
Sonic should pay for the funeral instead of the community buddy should’ve kept his mouth close you lost your life over a company who want even cover your funeral
Another shooting in Texas that the legislation will praise more instead of reconsidering for people’s lives.
It’s sad I’m not surprised if this becomes an average or daily thing, since people like Ted Cruz only care about their pay check more than people’s lives.
Yes. We should never protect ourselves. We shouldn’t do the things required because the criminals are people too. When we are in danger, we pee and hide. That’s what I was convinced. Like a pig on antibiotics.
I’m betting the suspect can relate to MLK Juneteenth and Black history month
This is tragic not only charge the 12 year old as an adult but charge the parent’s as well..this what u call bad parenting…R.I.P young man
Parents of the year
“Guns for everyone!! Fun for the whole family” The problem with conservative republican ran states. They live in total fear.
Ironic considering every public attack in those “conservative republican ran states” is always from an anti-conservative freak. If anything you should stop making that point if you’re trying to sound like you know what’s going on.
@Andrew Andrew its all fun and games till its your family getting shot.
Imagine a third world country so lawless and obssessed with guns and murder that they teach kids to use guns for when people disagree with them and over 5000 children have been killed by guns since 2020 alone…america? Oh, that’s gotta be embarrassing.
Is that what you teach your kids?
The majority of homicides are from people with the least proficiency and respect for firearms. If your families technique is to complain and cry then that’s your choice.
@Andrew Andrew suprised you could type that with your head so deep in the sand.
Not a day goes by without some sort of gun related violence.. what a country..
When are you moving?
@Andrew Andrew As soon as I retire
Never relax around
My sympathy to the family .
texas community is pure wicked
Shock? Disbelief? Really? This is an almost daily/ weekly occurrence now. This man was shot by a kid 2 years older than his son. Reform your gun laws now or stop being shocked that this keeps happening.
Illegals’ kids. More Democrat policies paying off.
Sure , democrats.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Watch out Yellowstone.
texas is out of control!
If more guns made people safer then the US would be the safest country ever. Not working out that way.
People talk as if nothing have happened. What world are we living in.
I can only hope it was a legitimate belief in self-defense. I hope it wasn’t another GD senseless act if violence.
Texas doesn’t seem safe anymore. Gun laws must end now .
Something need to be done. With people being able to have weapon. My condolences go out to this young man family and his friends. I am deeply sorry.
#Repeal2A
Sonic hires all the tweakers.
Hopefully the 12 year old just does a lil juvie time and community service and gets the counseling he needs to get over his grief that this shooting caused🙏🏻
Can we interview the mom and ask her why she is a bad mother?
Only in Texas
sending Thoughts and Prayers in advance to everyone lives in a G.un In.fested country…
its only a matter of when gonna be your turn..
Red state dead state. I have a question for the women of Texas. Do you really trust Texas with your most precious gift? You all in your children should leave Texas. Let the old white Christian conservative Boomers sit on their porches and talk about the good ole days while we build the future. A future without them.
Little Angel brought the whole gang and the Dracos.
Central American gangs are here now, the violence is just beginning.
texas is the terror state
I’ll bet the shooter’s parents were religious. Promising bonus lives devalues actual life.
I had to keep reading the title… Lord!
This is so tragic. But, if anyone knows if Jane is single let me know. I would love to take her out. She is gorgeous.
Imagine your last moments on earth were in a Sonic uniform, asking a woman to stop peeing in the parking lot.
How can you be shocked when the laws of TEXAS support such actions to happen.
I am always amazed how many people are willing to prove they lack intelligence. You know nothing about Texas gun laws let alone federal statutes. Just stop.
Peeing on public property is a hate crime
The Forever Purge is here
Come on now Texas. Those AK will turn you into spaghetti there is no surviving them
The Republican way. Lets be real. Guns over American workers. Way to many guns and way to many people dying daily. This is all on the Republicans.
Entire family needs to be locked up
What a shame. My condolences and prayers to his family and son 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Are World/ Country is not safely anymore
Yay, Texas!
Sorrows. Prayers.
Yet another Texas Shooting.
I know what the commenters will say “charge him as adult ! He knows it’s wrong !” But let’s get this straight . He’s not old /mature enough to buy Cigs , get alcohol , drive car , etc but he’s old enough to go to life in prison and charge as adult. Does that make any sense to anyone
Kids are not stupid. Even they know murder is wrong. It is obvious both the adult and the 12 year old have a Mexican gangster mentality and killed a man over nothing for their own pride.
Fatherless behavior
It’s a constant on going death in TX its ridiculous its just showing the cursedness that’s going on because they left Gods word!
Too much, Too young, Too little done, Too sad, Too many sacrificed from guns🙏🙏🙏💐🙏🙏🙏
I had someone pull a gun on me for jaywalking… ppl are nuzzz
Please charge the parents with murder 🙏
Another overly sensitive person of color! 😡
his parents should be charged as well they certainly failled as parents
was it a black kid? or SPIC?
Death penalty.
Really 😔 😟 🙁 😥 Sad, what this Liberal news channel is probably neglecting to say, the two criminals are ii
The two are probably illegals.. No surprise there, with these fake news channels 🙄 😒 😑 😐
The tragedy is that he had access to a gun. I guess that’s too “political”. From Australia this is the scariest thing about America. Gunpowder is the addiction of a nation.
Texas needs to go into Marshall Law
Please justice do your thing, An eye for an Eye!
I young man doing his job, shot dead in Texas, where every twelve year old can have a gun.
Christian terrorist gov abbet murdered that man
At the start of 2023, the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States – at the federal, state, and local levels – was at least $150.7 billion.
FAIR arrived at this number by subtracting the tax revenue paid by illegal aliens – just under $32 billion – from the gross negative economic impact of illegal immigration, $182 billion.
In 2017, the estimated net cost of illegal migration was approximately $116 billion. In just 5 years, the cost to Americans has increased by nearly $35 billion.
Illegal immigration costs each American taxpayer $1,156 per year ($957 after factoring in taxes paid by illegal aliens).
Each illegal alien or U.S.-born child of illegal aliens costs the U.S. $8,776 annually.
Evidence shows that tax payments by illegal aliens cover only around a sixth of the costs they create at all levels in this country.
A large percentage of illegal aliens who work in the underground economy frequently avoid paying any income tax at all.
Many illegal aliens actually receive a net cash profit through refundable tax credit programs.
“shock and disbelief…” Really? Many, many people lack maturity and emotional control. With so many guns readily available, to think that such incidents will not continue to profuse is blatant denial.
A violent society breeds violent citizens. We’re inundated from cradle to grave with age appropriate ultra violence.
What sounds better: texcrit or el-pasellujah?
I am a law enforcement officer, and it’s gotten so bad that I’m actually more afraid of getting shot at a grocery store or in traffic, than I am while on the job.
GET STRICT GUN LAWS!
Are people so stupid there in the USA that the obvious solution to saving lives is so complicated to them?
Yet another hate crime to go unpunished
