(heavy.com) Austin Thompson was identified as the 15-year-old camouflage-wearing and shotgun-toting active shooter suspect who police say shot five people to death in raleigh, north carolina.
“wral-tv first named the suspect. authorities have not formally named him because he is a juvenile.”
“The active shooter roamed around neighborhoods near neuse river greenway, a trail and golf course. the victims he shot to death included his own teenage brother, an off-duty raleigh police officer on his way to work, a woman walking her dog, and a married mother of three who was an avid runner. you can read about the victims here. Two other people, including another police officer, were shot. One of those victims is in critical condition; the second officer is expected to survive.

For those of you keeping score,the police chief of Raleigh is negress Estella Patterson.
Unfrickinbelievable.

She replaced ANOTHER negress,Cassandra Brown,police chief for 9 years--so Raleigh way ahead of the black police chief game.

AUSTIN THOMPSON WILL BE TRIED AS ADULT,SENTENCED AS JUVENILE
GRA:If he was a negro thug,he'd have Kim Kardashian blowing in Biden's ear for a pardon.
(WOLO)Austin Thompson's alleged victims included his older brother, James, who was 16 and a junior at Knightdale High School. If formally charged with first-degree murder, the teenage suspect would be treated as an adult in criminal court, despite his age.
Under North Carolina criminal justice law, a juvenile is anyone between the ages of 10 and 17 and is subject to a different sentencing scheme than adults. But that doesn't mean young defendants don't end up before judges and juries essentially as adults.
"There's nothing about the recent changes to state law that has made it any harder for the prosecution if it wants, or the court, to treat a case like this in superior court," said Barbara Fedders, a professor at the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Law and director of its Youth Justice Clinic.
Effective in 2019, North Carolina became one of the last states to raise the age of juvenile defendants to 17.
But state law still allows courts to transfer felony cases involving 13-to-17 year-old suspects to superior court on a prosecutor's motion. And when it comes to alleged first-degree murder, where probable cause has been established, anyone 13 or older must be treated as adults in superior court upon motion by the prosecutor.
But Fedders said sentencing in a case like the one involving the alleged Raleigh shooter would be completely different than if it involved an adult.
"A person cannot be executed for a crime they committed under 18 and that's by United States Supreme Court law," she explained.
And there are court constraints on both sentences of life with and without parole. To sentence a juvenile to life without parole, the court would have to find the defendant is beyond redemption or incapable of rehabilitation.
And in a 4-3 majority ruling earlier this year, the North Carolina Supreme Court's four Democrats held that in life sentences with parole, juveniles must become eligible for release after serving 40 years.
"But eligible for parole and getting parole are two very, very different things," Fedders added.

Raleigh is 57% White and 28% black-a-roo--so why is a black in charge of law enforcement?Logically,it shouldn't be that way--but as I said this past week,it shuts the blacks and liberals up about so called White law being enforced on blacks.
If they don't like it though,don't ruin the city by hiring only blacks(you KNOW they aren't as qualified as Whites),tell them to move,because HERE,we won't put up with crime.
