    I just wish they would stop showing the photo of him as a 12 year old. I know I sound like I'm accepting that this is being tried in the media, but showing a photo of him at that age forces people to think of him as a defenseless, sweet little kid, rather than a young adult much larger, taller, and perhaps more capable of physical harm either in an offensive or defensive situation.

    I know that sounds crazy... but I hope you know what I mean. My point is, whatever happened in that portion of time that we don't know about was not committed by a 12 year child. Whatever happened or didn't happen was committed by a a person five years older than the photo that's being shown.

    • Good point. I never registered his age, only the photo.formed
