“This crime calls for the death penalty.............within 48 hours.”

I agree. Unfortunately, I understand that the death penalty is not allowed in Florida for those under age 18.

Since he’s under age 18, the State should probably provide him with an initial supply of Vaseline and lip-softener—he’s going to need a lot of both. Since this guy looks like Obama’s son would look (if Obama had a son) perhaps Obama could provide him some from his left-over supplies from when he was a younger butt-boy?

Did either of the murderers look like he could be Obama’s son?
