There's thousands of seventeen year olds charged as a adult, what makes him different, he shot two people, regardless of his past and family situation..blame everyone but the one who pulled the tigger..and the grandmother is blaming drug dealers, the church,the two other boys and anybody else she can think of, except again the person that they arrest for pulling the trigger ..Her damn grandson, and this is part of the reason these kids are doing this, because there has never been any consequences for their actions, just got their parents, trying to be their best friend and blame anyone but them..
