When are they going to arrest the police who caused the deaths of those two boys that started the riot? I know, NEVER!

Hope they hurry up a bit with the rest of the suspects as some might die of old age before being caught.

Guess it will mostly be the richer ones who stay out of the hands of law enforcement.

Now, now, you are posting messages that will confuse the public and endanger national security.

Lots of boys die here every day, and none of them are in the news, well not unless they were special boys with special parents in special neighborhoods with special names.

Nothing to see here...move along.........
