While I know that we are in an ultra-reactionary phase after a real shooting, perp walking a 10 year old and releasing his name publicly before they have even fully researched the nature of his case seems a bit over the top.

Daniel Issac Marquez may or may not have been just joking. And he, of course, SHOULD have been arrested. But before releasing his mugshot and identity, perhaps they should have investigated further.

Yes, I know the Lee County Sheriff wanted to make a quick example, but this is certainly not normal procedure with a juvenile.

Yes, they were right to arrest him immediately as a POTENTIAL threat. And they should fully investigate the matter.

But releasing his name and mugshot and perp walking him seems more a means of “strutting” by the Sheriff and should not have happened.

Got to make some examples. It’s hysteria.

Precisely…Maybe a public hanging is in order too.

Agreed.

I agree, releasing his name and mugshot is over the top. A simple “we arrested an unnamed suspect do to a published threat” or some such would have been appropriate. What we have here is a situation of “see, I’m doing something”.

Kids are stupid when it come to ■■■■ like this, they don’t fully grasp the ramifications. Unfortunately, authorities are going to have to become better at weeding through the stupid ■■■■ to find the real threat.

Desperately seeking attention…half of of this countries problems in a single statement.

Will prosecutor pursue a minor over a threat while refusing to prosecute knife welding comic on stage attacks.

Lost the consistency and moral high ground of the legal system.

These minors names should never be media fodder.

That sheriff loves the camera, I see him on local news almost daily. He seems competent, not saying anything otherwise, but he loves publicity.

I was not aware of this however.

WINK News is not identifying the boy because of his age, but the sheriff routinely does name kids and post their pictures on their Facebook page.

Hopefully he doesn’t turn into another Arpaio.

He’s a hardass like that, but he strikes me as being smarter than that.

Agreed.

Nah. Scared straight. He shouldn’t be pulling this crap, and now he knows better.

I remember watching a Chris Rock comedy episode about prison and tossing a salad, maybe that would be appropriate punishment and heavy determent for this time of outbursts.

Because their parents won’t do ■■■■ .
