Lesson not learned
It appears that the little punk responsible for the murder of Ed McMichael, the “Tuba Man,” in October 2008 did not learn a thing from the slap on the wrist he got by serving 36 weeks in juvenile detention. [“Accomplice in death of ‘tuba man’ rearrested,” page one, April 8.]
This unnamed youth is a Maurice Clemmons wannabe. He has already killed one innocent citizen while participating in a strong-arm mugging. Now, six months after his release from detention, he has done it again.
What is it going to take to get the authorities’ attention? The death of another innocent citizen? Or will it only count if the miserable little thug shoots a cop?
