President Obama refers to crimes committed by black teens as youthful misstates, just like the mistakes the rest of us made as teenagers. Obama complains that by imprisoning black teens for those mistakes we are depriving them of a second chance and ruining their lives forever.
Well, on July 29 around 5:30 a.m., Larry Eugene Brown, a 74-year-old man, was walking to a bus stop in Greensboro, N.C. when he became the victim of one of those youthful mistakes.
Police arrested D'Angelo Matthews on Wednesday, his 17th birthday, together with a 15-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl, and charged all three with first-degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon.
It seems the three were driving around when they spotted Brown and decided to make the youthful mistake of robbing the old man. Then they made another youthful mistake by inflicting "significant" blunt force trauma to his head, according to the police. Brown was dead before the cops found him lying in the street.
And what did the three black teens get for their youthful mistakes? Three dollars from Brown’s wallet.
Now, according to Obama, if we imprison Matthews and his two ‘mistake’ partners, we will ruin their lives forever. I am sure the Brown family is touched and I suggest they adopt the three teenagers and give them that second chance the President says black teens are too often denied.
Sigh ….. those youthful mistakes.
