An Englewood man is accused of killing two teenagers last weekend after they noted how tall he was while they bought candy at a gas station in South Shore.

Laroy Battle, 19, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and possession of a controlled substance, Deputy Chief Brendan Deenihan said at a news conference Thursday.

Jasean Francis, 17, and Charles Riley, 16, were “very good kids from really excellent families,” Deenihan said. They had gone to a gas station Saturday afternoon in the 7900 block of South Luella with a third friend to buy candy when they ran into Battle.

> Black violence is a plague on mankind. <

The survivors of Auschwitz would probably have said the same about white violence. My point, of course, is that there is evil among all groups.

First off black lives matter. First let me be clear on this. Now after this, what you have is typical teenage hi-jinx where they are shooting up other black teenagers.Hot lead and All in fun you know. As long as white cops didn’t do it, black community is cool with this. OK?

I get “how tall are you” probably three or four times on an average day. I WISH I could start shooting them.

OK. Not quite, but why do you really care? Do I ask your weight and shoe size?

You obviously didn’t read my next comment, which was that I had been to going to go into a similar event that just happened here in Florida. It’s happening everywhere, of course. Now that there’s no policing, the thugs are taking over these neighborhoods.

He’s 6’3” per the article. So pretty tall, but not unusually tall. My hubby is 6’5” and he once ran into basically the entire NY Knicks team coming out of some deli in NYC. He said he felt like a midget! Luckily nobody got shot!

We have a group in Jax called Parents of Murdered Children. They have a wall similar to the Vietnam memorial where all the names are inscribed. And I can tell you, probably not a one was “murdered” by a cop or even by a white person...but by their own “children.”

So where are theIr own parents, black ministers, BLM, etc?

“I get “how tall are you” probably three or four times on an average day. I WISH I could start shooting them.”

I am 76 inches tall and 76 years old and on oxygen so I don’t get out much but I used to hear that question every day. The last time somebody asked, “How is the weather up there”, I didn’t skip a beat, just gave them a nasty grin and replied, “Great up here, how is it down around my ass?”

When ever I head out to my range in Jax on zambito rd I make sure I have an AR on deck. Every morning first thing I read is the news headlines to get the body count in Jax. Every article has same info: shooting at x am. No further details. Jax has something called shot spotter. It notifies police when a gun shot report occurred nearby. That is how bad it is. Happy live in Nassau county.

one of my favorite young "out there" guys , CHAZAltituDe, retweeted a quote that makes a lot of sense

We are all bad in someone's story. SO here's Biden
