Mom of three working side job as Uber Eats driver killed by 14-year-old boys, say police

Horrible...Why, just why? Personally I'd say those 14 year olds should be locked away for life, but sadly they'll probably get out earlier because they're 'juveniles'. Anyone doing this kind of stuff at 14 is someone I don't want out there in society.

Two 14-year-old boys have been charged with capital murder in the stabbing death of a 31-year-old mother of three who was working as an Uber Eats driver.

According to investigators, the victim, identified as 31-year-old Ryan Munsie, was delivering meals on Saturnday night in Haltom City when she was attacked and stabbed in the neck while walking through an apartment breezeway.

Munsie died at the scene. Media outlet KXAS reported Munsie was working a side job to support her three children.

On Thursday, investigators said two 14-year-old boys had been arrested in connection with Munsie's murder. They are charged with capital murder.

as the police have a history of lack of candor, blatant lying, and "extracting" confessions from minors. Have we forgotten about the Central Park "Wilding" case from 1989?

Plus, I’m not for locking up 14 year olds for life, no matter the crime. We’re the only country in the developed world that does this to juveniles. On top of that, our prisons are inhumane and cruel.

It is often hard to reconcile our principles with our feelings of injustice, cruelty, etc.
But that is pretty much what keeps us from forming mobs to drag accused people out and kill them.

Like the insurrectionist mob wanted to do just recently.

I want them given a scrupulously fair trial, so there is no possibility of any hint of grounds for appeal. Then IF they are found guilty, I want them sentenced to 50 years in Texas Department of Corrections.

Which is in Fort Worth, Haltom City is a suburb of Fort Worth. It has its own police force.

I read about his on NextDoor. Sad state of affairs. I'm glad they found the murderers.

You don't need to put everything in the headline.

There's no need to explain the whole freakin' article with it.

The shorter the better, and that's actually the number one rule in writing headlines.


By the way, I fixed my post before I saw your reply.

My first draft ALWAYS sucks.
