Like father like son

Joplin middle-school student could stand trial as adult:

Authorities in Joplin Missouri are seeking to have Thomas White tried as an adult. White is the 13-year-old who brought a MAC-90 assault weapon to Memorial Middle School and fired a round into the ceiling. The gun luckily jammed before any bloodshed could occur.

In related news White’s father, Gregory has pleaded guilty today to firearm possession. Since the elder White is a convicted felon he is not permitted to own firearms. He’s looking at a maximum of 10 years and a possible $250,000 fine.

    I heard about this the other day… I can only hope that they will realize that a confused/scared 13 yo is not an adult.
