No need to think long and hard, if he's pulling out a weapon, that is a clear sign of aggression. The kid was responsible for what happened, and you can say to a lesser extent, his parents (which I can only imagine did very little for him) share part of the blame as well.
Is being an aggressive and stupid 13-year-old something he deserved to die for? I agree that there are likely people who failed him in his upbringing and that he acted very badly. He deserved to be punished harshly for his actions. I'm don't think he deserved to die for them.
No.
Did he deserve to die for doing those things with a gun that was, ultimately, not real?
He wasn't shot for robbery, he was shot for pulling what was in fact not an actual weapon.Man. I am loving round 2 of "Armed robbery is harmless if you use a fake weapon". I wonder if rape is harmless if you use a fake weapon.
How to tell if somebody learned World Geography in school or from SNL:
"GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?
PALIN: They're our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."
SNL: Can't be Diomede Islands, say her backyard instead.
And it not being a "Actual Weapon" was unknown until after he was shot. It was called in as a real weapon because it looked like a real weapon. There was pics posted a few pages back on how it looked. That is dam near a 1:1 look like a real gun, cops are not going to risk there lives to play is it real or not. Even more so when reports came in that it was.
Also Artsoft weapons can highly hurt and even kill people depending the weapon. There is a reason he chose that BB gun....because it looked real.

disregards police orders / threatens police? check!
he "didn't do nothing?" check!
they never learn ...
no big loss either way
just sucks for the cop - I wish the media would stop naming cops until it's clear they did something wrong.
also, don't bb guns usually have this red marker so it's clear it's not a real weapon?!
If only every criminal would be stupid enough to point a gun at the police we would have far less criminals to worry about.
Also think i dreamt about tyre king tonight lol, the name just stuck with me.
Okay. So we're back to "There's no way he understands what he did", which is a fucking laugh riot. And if does matter, especially since you want to argue adults don't understand threatening people with murder for personal gain.
Either way, welcome to the "I'm not defending him, but let me trivialize what he did or claim he couldn't no better" group that brings me hope for great entertainment in the future. I hope the next crime you undersell is kidnapping.
Children know right from wrong since the day they were born. Its all a test to see what they can get away with. If you dont understand this as an adult or a parent then your getting school by your kid. They know exactly what they are doing.
Since Themius is here defending the dead person, I'll assume s/he was black, and therefore, automatically innocent.
