Why is a 14 year old child out at 3 o’clock in the morning? Should the parents be investigated and take some responsibility?

[@glitter_fart]

holding people responsible doesnt seem to be something that happens anymore

[@Jeff-sl8xz]

Running with gangs and commiting crimes of course what else smdh

[@sunnystormy4973]

-poor kid ...-

[@aceplaysgamesnetwork9566]

That’s my initial reaction. But it’s unclear if he was involved in the incident or just a bystander. He could have been with his parents going on a trip or night fishing. But most likely not.

[@Z287899]

Said the kid was laying next to an suv. My first assumption was the kid was with his parents. Maybe heading to the airport to catch an early flight. Who knows.

[@straightfromthefieldss4lif229]

Exactly, what is a 14 yr old doing out at that time. Looks like failed parenting once again.

[@e.m.8094]

1. 3am is way beyond curfew time for that age. 2. Who lets their kid be out that late, especially on a school night?

[@pinkiesue849]

What makes you believe the 14 year old has parents?

[@MrBond007-k2u]

Ghetto mommas do.

[@michaelmacgeorge1082]

That's awful! 3.43 per gallon!

[@NormieWeimarican]

It’s brutal!

[@Dustyfingers]

It’s 4.79 in Chicago for unleaded 5.79 premium

[@MrBond007-k2u]

Bidenomics 🙄

[@germanywho]

that's cheap as hell California its over 5$ facts not fiction 😢✌🏾

[@ssdtrain1]

🤣

[@generalrooter]

That so called child was out at 3am. I highly doubt this teen was just an innocent bystander.

[@EleazarTorres-b5s]

Sure how do you know? Maybe he knew something and then got kill to many questions...

[@pannamal5182]

Mpls is a cesspool 0:46

[@e.m.8094]

What's the deal with all these crimes at gas stations?

[@alericc1889]

It were the hood shops....

[@GarryWootton]

The getaway and less people.

[@fvu3]

No. The whole community is not outraged. These are not the kind of children we value as a community.

[@trumpwon8064]

Exactly, 99% of us are NOT outraged 😂

[@brucecarter8296]

the teen probably wasn't meeting his quota of kias

[@aliciacat2323]

Gang related? Why is. 14 year old at a gas station at 3 am? Where the heck are the parents?

[@GarryWootton]

Smoking a pipe.

[@skimmer8774]

Of course it's gangs of usual . Parents are getting high and drunk.

[@sunnystormy4973]

so much evil ...

[@NebraskaPoliceDepartment]

Usual suspects

[@vman8835]

14? Out at 3AM. Why? When will parents be held accountable for things like this?

[@lloydavery2and2make5]

Don't be hatin' on Da Culture!! Do yo research!!!

[@trumpwon8064]

Parents??

[@alericc1889]

"Teenagers", is that the new code word the press wants to use instead of describing who everyone know are the ones doing this??

[@Steven_Williams_]

Alericc just wants the media to call them the n-word, so it matches what he hears in his brain.

[@CheriBocock]

14 year old at gas station at 3am?

[@trumpwon8064]

We all know what "teen" means

[@jethro1177]

18 and still in the 4th grade

[@hautehussey]

Was the suv stolen?

[@Vester1one]

I had to be inside when the street lights came on. Being out 3am and involved in gang activities and losing your life is a cause and effect skill issue. Be smarter. Hold parents to a higher standard. Not everyone should be a parent unfortunately.

[@mattanderson861]

Happens when MPD is down 400 officers

[@DeeJaye8920]

What was a child doing out at 3am anyway? Why isnt the parents being questioned and charged as well...

[@golfdoc1950]

What’s a 14 year old doing out at that time? Parents?

[@dianepalarino4525]

SICKENING.14yrs old out at 3am???.

[@hushanwalker]

What is his name

[@rayhassan3302]

Curfew...these teenagers are dangerous

[@BarbaraGallo-bl3ti]

Why was a 14-year-old out at 3 o’clock in the morning by themselves and where was his parents?

[@idakate7]

No police equals hell on earth. Your leaders, that you elected, made this possible. You have the blood on your hands.

[@ronprestidge5907]

Way to defund the Police, Walz, Ellison, Omar, and Frey

[@southmountain111]

He wont get to play GTA 6

[@e.m.8094]

The way in which some people choose to live their lives is beyond me.

[@jeffcarlson6885]

I love Minnesota. But what do do expect with the government there. And other states. Should be obvious the problem

[@MrHondablink]

Parent or parents obviously, aren't to blame!?! I'm sure he was just out getting food for his school lunch at that hour. What's the kids' school attendance look like previous this?

[@joshualang1153]

Exactly what I was thinking. The older adults should b held accountable

[@KARREN-KRASS]

BP petrol station. Did you know that BP stands for British Petroleum?

[@pinkiesue849]

Let's blame the Brits

[@JasmineDaisy111]

Never go here again! Crime ridden neighborhood. 😢 No safe corner stores within walking distance.

[@Letsdolunch2023]

Its Minneapolis.

[@timhalloran7910]

Nothing good happens after midnight, dummies. The teen put themselves in that position and if there's a parent that wants to take responsibility pls speak up now, thanks.

[@jethro1177]

14yrs old and he was a waste of space and breath already

[@MichaelSinclair-q9z]

Where's the outrage, if childrens lives matter to you.

[@TomGreen-uv7lt]

Rip obama

[@suzielenzen461]

Not a problem property???

[@maxrshelltrack7443]

Had no idea that was open 24 hours has it always been maybe close up shop at 9-10.

[@danscoggins8236]

News to me too. Not many 24 hour places left in Mpls. For this reason!

[@MichD-o2l]

13/55%

[@Kevin-vh6nn]

22% clearance rates in Chicago "Justice" 😂😂😂

[@GoldiieFirst-rh9zn]

Lord have mercy

[@compasdearranqueoffroad2620]

Straight hood

[@Charles-d4e3b]

That’s illegal

[@MKGENTERTAINMENTGAMING]

Oh noooo

[@caseylane9162]

None of yall pulled all nighters in your teens? Tf yall talking abt early for,, RIP

[@williamzander9708]

Danger zone open 24 hours and they go there just start crap . 😂😂

[@flashkirby101]

Makes me glad I live in small town. All these random drive bys and murder and junk are big city problems. We don't have that here and if it does happen it's EXTREMELY rare. I don't remember the last time someone was murdered in this town. we don't got as much as big city folk in terms of opportunity and entertainment but we are infinitely safer communities and cost of living is astronomically less.

[@williamzander9708]

Yes after 7 pm at night it’s to dangerous to go to a business the offers 24/7 and are that small in a side of town. The cops don’t even hang around till something happens it’s a broken clock you can’t fix . The criminals hang there for drugs are to meet up . There planning all the time and don’t care .

[@joz8393]

😢

[@stevetatro9554]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Mark-o1i3s]

Is the Mpls Police Chief a drunk or a vagrant?

[@toab]

Brian ain't gonna do anything about it.

[@Yunuserat]

elhamdülillah

[@Willchannel90]

Must be same supporter who supports BLM from news shows. Life is a karma.

[@clintoncollins2064]

Merica!
