I just love how the media chooses headlines. I see that the headline says "Teen shooter." I think, "Oh, fourteen-fifteen-sixteen years old." Balony. Eighteen year-old shooter. He's an ADULT. Sure, he still is a teen too, but I wish the media would make it obvious right away that the perp is an adult.

For an armed car-jacking you'd think they might set his bail a little higher than $33,000.00

an AK-47-style assault weapon

It's sad that the reporter probably didn't feel stupid for writing that phrase, the way he'd feel stupid for saying "Chevy Suburban style dump-truck."

Well...to give him credit, it probably was an AK-47 style assault weapon.
Pistol grip and detachable magazine...isn't that all it takes?
Yes I know assault weapon is a stupid label.
