I think this was an accident. He should be charged with stupidity but based on what is in the article, it was an accident.

Don't you just love it when the Slantinel runs articles like the two "Hispanic" pieces of propaganda and then don't enter a comment section so as to bring about discussion amongst the readers. Why do they do this? So that the onslaught of negative responses cannot be heard and they can try and mold the thoughts of their readers to comform with their own convoluted opinions! Well, it isn't working! The hispanic explosion is very much in the mix of "our" exploding crime epidemic here in Central Florida. Their lack of respect for their fellow man, their lack of sanitation in our enviroment, their lack of respect for our laws, their highly aggressive behavior, the list goes on and on! I agree that in years to come that the hispaniscs will change the society that we live in just as they have changed our present day society, just not for the better! Our community will continue to wax worse and worse as the scurge of hispanics continue to pour into our communities!
What do hispanics have to do with one white boy killing another, because he happened to have a gun. Guns give cowards courage that they wouldn't normally have. A fight turns into a shooting. Whites have been shooting each since the revolutionary war in the 1700's. Violence has always been the major characteristic of the white culture........so stop blaming hispanics.

The good ole' boy should have never gone to his truck and all would be well today! To start with he's not of legal age to be in possession of a handgun. Then to pull it out of your truck and brandish it for all to see is unlawful display of a firearm. Then to actually fire the weapon leads right into a felony charge of unlawful discharging of a firearm. Then to top it off your discharged round strikes and kills a bystander! He's lucky to being charged with just a manslaughter rap!

What we really need is one less sick creep who feels big by writing hurtful things while hiding behind the anonymity of the internet.

In case you're wondering the boy who died came from a good family. Mom works in a middle school office helping the kids and sis just won academic student of the year.

So it's an "accident" (as My Opinion said) when a couple of white boys in Polk County brandish guns and one winds up shot in the head, but it's an indictment of an entire community when a Hispanic person commits a crime.

Yeah....that makes sense....

Sad story indeed, but even kids from good families don't always exercise good judgment....and that's true regardless of race.

I have to disagree, My opinion. He didn't 'accidentally' retrieve the weapon from his truck, nor did he 'accidentally' fire the weapon into the air. It was done on purpose. STUPIDITY yes, ACCIDENT no.

I am sure it was a accident,however he violated several laws and charges are justified %100.
To top it off this young man will have to deal with the fact he killed his best friend by being stupid.

If you are dumb enough to think that anti-gun laws work, move to NJ, or DC.
There you can see just how much they dont work!

True, but my point was the people hurt by these sick comment writers are the good people left behind.

Lets hope others learn from the mistakes and do not repeat them.

<quoted text>dDuh? Did you read my post? My comment had absolutely nothing to do with these two "White boys" as you call them, it was in response to the two articles about "HISPANICS" that the Slantinel ran and did not allow comments on because it would hurt YOUR feelings when you saw the overwhelming negative response to the problem of the hispanic taking over our society here in Florida! As for "Violence and Culture" you need to do your homework "PR"! Violence is the main character flaw of your hispanic countries whether is be Peurto Rico, Columbia, Venzuela, Mexico or any other third world spanish speaking country! Go check out the violent crime rates in PR and see for yourself! Only problem is it's being imported here into our country by the droves!
Hey y.o.k.e.l;

If there is no thread commenting on hispanics and crime, then stop whining and create one you c.r.a.c.k.e.r and stay out of this thread.

Did everyone notice how El Sentinel now does not allow comments sections on any articles about Hipanics? Pretty funny how they make suer their pro-Hispanic agenda gets out there without any negative comments. And it's always the same two reporters who do these weekly Hispanic articles.

I think they write these Hispanic articles every week just rile up the few remainig Americans who live in Central Florida. They want us to leave.

If he has a baby, what was he doing hanging out on the streets instead of staying home and taking care of his child??

Correct. Fine father figure he turned out to be....and what do you tell the kid when asked about "how did Daddy die or why is daddy in jail?"
