    Yeah, that's exactly what I envisioned as well.

    Mostly because Oregon's population is predominantly white, and the odds were in favor of them being white. But let's not call them thugs without putting "wannabe" (or cowardly) in front of the word "thug".

    Once you threaten a girl's life with a loaded and cocked gun, there's nothing wannabe about it. They're thugs.

    Clearly, they are not being held responsible, or even discouraged from repeating crimes and threats. Innocent people are going to be hurt or killed while the police profess an inability to deal with the situation. Hopefully, neighbors are smart enough to arm themselves.

    What's funny is I had typed wannabe and then deleted it cause I thought someone would think it was racist to say white kids are only wanna be thugs LOL

    I was more making reference to the fact that they need a gun to be tough. People who think guns make them tough/give them power are pussies.

    As 311 once sang, "Guns are for pussies." (Don't take this as overgeneralization - I get the hunting, war, etc aspects, but people who need guns for other purposes are pussies.)

    No, racist is using the term "wannabe thug". Racist is wanting to know what race these kids were, like it mattered (but not admitting why you wanted to know). :lol:

    The father of the 11-year old was arrested today, per Katu news:

    Police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson said Joseph Charlton, 34, was arrested in his home at 16111 Southeast Alder Street. He faces a charge of leaving an unsecured firearm for a minor. The charge is a city ordinance that is being used for the first time, Simpson added.

    The dad previously said the gun was not his, and his son had gotten it elsewhere. Was dad lying?

    Dad is a felon. Great role model. It's illegal for him to own a firearm in the first place.

    The kids need incarceration, they are an obvious danger to society.
