To you political obsessives who haunt RHBB: this is a homicide case of a child. It obviously has nothing whatsoever to do with politics, so please take your nonsense elsewhere. This thread should pertain to the homicide in question.
Ah, I can see where this is going. Thanks for the tip. Rest assured Biden Harris and Newsome will leave the gate open and retreat to their gated compound
Great first comment, the political police is here.
43 shootings so far this weekend in Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago. 10 of those shot were fatalities and 9 of the 43 shot are juveniles.
Such a tragedy.
Another sad loss, My condolences to her family and friends.
——————————————————————————-
I don’t know how they can afford to keep the hospitals open in Chicago.
Who’s paying the hospital bills for all these shootings?
In fairness, the Chicago murder rate has been considerable for many years now, no matter who was in office.

Because its poor on poor violence people ignore it.
because it doesnt fit the World Economic Forum narrative that guns r bad. Chicago has strict gun laws that don’t do anything.
A city with a population of close to 9 million and numerous gangs no comparison and absolutely nothing to do with which political party the mayor identifies with.
Drug deal gone bad?
Rude assumption and even if true a symptom not a cause.
Condolences to the family. And to you, Nichole. Reporting on a tragedy this close to home can be painful.
All condolences to his family and loved ones. There are no words. I’m just so sorry for what you are all going through. Sending you so much love.
The suspect: another tweaked-out fent dealer who has been released by “judges” multiple times for violent felonies and drug/gun possession. Just a guess.
You’re so wrong, learn your facts first.
Oh yeah, what are the facts then
I put the facts up as a response
So, maybe not a tweaked-out fent dealer, but an incestual rapist. Those are more acceptable in Willow Creek. So sorry for my error.
Child abuse is kept quiet in Indian country until a young girl hangs herself. People see but they don’t want problems.
This is so damn true. When we see injustice and do nothing about it we are just as guilty. Our communities have become way to comfortable with not wanting problems. Though those same people not wanting problems will be the first up on soap boxes handing out their useless opinions about said problems. Have we become so domesticated that we will ignore the rape of community in order to remain comfortable? The problems reside in the dying spirit of our communities when we turn blind eyes to avoid individual problems.
It’s hard to speak out publicly in a small community when this happens. But sweeping it under the rug just perpetuates it. So, if you see something like a sudden behavior change in a child report it.
Hope the shooter gets locked away
Sounds like there is much more to this story to be reveled.
Horrid.
Heartbreaking. ? Sending strength to their family and friends. May they Rest In Peace.
We will be back with an update shortly, hopefully with more information from the HCSO as well. the suspect has been detained according to the victim’s family.
It’s so hard to understand… California has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. So do Chicago, New York and Baltimore.
It just makes no sense that these types of tragedies keep happening in gun free zones (ie: schools) and gun free cities and states across the nation.
not really
In “gun free zones” only the law abiding follow the rule. Outlaws are outlaws – full stop.
Why does a place with strict gun laws have an overwhelming proportion of gun crime … because criminals are still criminals.
If all areas were conseal carry, there would be far less gun crime. I know that’s hard from the bleeding hearts in the audience to comprehend, but the old maxim is true:
An armed society is a polite society.
If a criminal is not sure they’ll get away with it because the person next to them might be packing, it really does change things.
Indeed. I’m a proponent of open carry. No guessing at that point.
in california, an open carry is not supposed to be legal, loaded or otherwise in public. ccw is better, no need to advertise.
I’m talking about actual states in the USA, not the Democratic-Socialist-Bloc of Kalifornistan.
At this sad and confused point in our history, there’s much more social credit to be gained by being a frightened potential victim. Of almost anything.
The fact of the matter is fear of thing or someone is deciding to allow that fear to rule or control their actions there is no law or right that can grant freedom from fear, however there are rights god given rights to be able to defend ones self family and property by lethal force if deemed required so having the tools to defend ones self family and property readily at hand and being familiar and comfortable in the use of said tools is being responsible knowing that there are certain threats but failing to properly prepare to defend against them is called preparing to be a victim expecting others to act to protect your life family and property is called being lazy or a sign of a mental health issuse
God given rights, now that’s a good one. Whose God, which one and how do they inform us of their rights? There is only one right and that is the right to die and I don’t know who gives that one.
Read the Declaration of Independence. It’s self explanatory. No reason to believe MSN or Socialist overlords disinformation.
where exactly does Jesus say you get to own guns? Can I get a chapter and verse?
Always going to be some people who run red lights and people who leverage a victim roll and that doesn’t justify no traffic lights and lousy social supports (quality social supports can also better ID malingerers and assist them in getting out of victim role AND takes a lot of questions before judging and keeping an open mind even after doing so). A mental hell system and highest per capita incarceration rate in the world… how’s that working for US?
By far most gun owners are law abiding citizens.
So, dead kids are what we get in polite society? I would rather be rude.
How’s that working out for Texas?
Oh dear… Robb Elementary School was a gun free zone and the responding law enforcement agencies were cowards…
Either that or they were being manipulated by the FBI which is another agency of leftist cowards. Take your pick. Either one yields the same result:
Dead kids.
Robb also had armed security on campus. The retired cop was promptly shot by the assailant. So much for armed guards keeping kids safe.
As for the coward cops…They should be fired, and their law enforcement credentials should be revoked so they can never again serve as cops.
Felons in custody get guns …

People rarely mention the fact that many people couldn’t shoot a person even if they were carrying a gun. I, for one.
Both of these males were armed and nothing polite happened at all. You are gun crazy.
Don’t even own one.
Like New York which has strict gun laws, the black market for guns is booming in California.
Unfortunately, as we know with our own cottage industry, when something is made illegal it fetches a much higher price.
So sad for all involved.
Condolences.
Lets not forget the loved ones of both young men involved are reading this.
Gun laws in Baltimore? As a native Baltimorean, I can assure there is no such thing. Year in and year out, Bodymore Murderland is in contention for the worst homicide rate in the nation…for that matter, in the world.
I’m glad they arrested the suspect.
So sorry. Yes: ” Condolences to the family. And to you, Nichole. Reporting on a tragedy this close to home can be painful.”
i wanted to like that comment but for some reason though logged in something not working with “like/dislike” button so I can’t use that to respond to comments. I can only post comments.
This was a act of self defense and anybody who thinks they”know” what happened please keep your judgment away from this because I assure u the minor was definitely not in the right and time will show that
Could have shot to wound though.
Easy to say that till someone has a pistol pointed at your loved ones head
The number of instances of a 17 yr old taking a hostage at gun point is exceedingly rare. Not saying its bullsh!+ just sounds far fetched. What you meant to say and is believable is the dead teenager had a gun. Was the gun being pointed at the person who shot him. How was it being pointed in one hand or two. Your statement implies gun right to someones head when its far likelier there was distance between the people.
Like first rule of pulling a gun, better be a life or death situation and you better be prepared to shoot immediately, no posturing.
Second rule of pulling a gun, you do not shoot to wound. There’s multiple problems with that. You may endanger other people by missing the small target that is a limb, or may make a dangerous situation more volatile.
Where is a wound only shot ? Leg ? Knee ? Shoulder ? Fact is all those locations are potentially deadly shots arteries run through these locations which once severed equals death not to mention bullet deflection …..
Leg is a good target deflection is a myth in my experience you shoot for the chest because of adrenaline he had buck fever if he had paused for 5 seconds before taking a teenagers life he could have shot for the legs or discharged a warning shot.
You have no idea how anything went. The “kid” definitely had a pistol right to a young woman’s head even discharged rounds past her face. U don’t know the circumstances so don’t try to defend anyone. It’s also very hard to shoot to wound when your worried about a guy turning and shooting u or more important just squeezing the trigger while it’s on your loved ones head if u had any sense at all you’d all stop trying to defend the minor. Like I said the truth shall be told
100 agree
Klynn? Beyonce?
Nichole,
I’m so sorry for your friends’ loss. Tragic story.
As a former resident of those apartments, I will say, majority of the habitants we’re best friends with the former Managers and act like a gang if they don’t like someone. They will stomp on the apartment above yours, bang on the walls to disturb you, ring your doorbell (late hours), bang on your windows, giggle your doorhandles, as if trying to enter, pace in front of your open window and worse, bully/ hit your kid if they are a youth or the parents direct and condone the hitting. I moved back to socal, and I am glad to be far from the sick society of that small town, where they think they can get away with anything and they did because I never beat up the hateful parents because I’m sure I would have been the one to go to jail. They act like jealous hateful pigs that are going to get what they deserve, one of their hateful children who bashed someone’s head with a rock died a few years ago, God always gets his revenge
Yeah there is a LOT of BS up there. Lot of people lying about you if you move there. Everyone was Tony Montana or angle shooting and the click thing is real. And I mean everyone! Just keep your head down, don’t date, and leave them be. Was accused of crimes I didn’t commit, after that I was robbed.
I’m sorry Nick that happened to you, I moved out of said apartments in 2018, stood in willow creek until coming back home in 2021. I only wish they’d would say who the 17 year old is, I have unlimited videos of many residents pacing my windows, beating up a tree with a walking stick in front of my living room saying, die over and over. Videos of kids and adults in front of my patio, talking shit to us, trying to provoke us because they know the local sheriff’s as we did as well but they’re locals and thought they’d get away with it and did. I called police several times and even Horton came but didn’t do anything because they were locals, ugh. Poor Peter sits in jail, while a hero. I can guess who the 17 year old is but when it comes out, I bet it’s who I think, and I hope it’s someone I have on video to show how they behave. My husband and I worked and were hated for it, we fed those kids while they were locked out of their house, parents doing drugs and instead of appreciation, they hated us. Free Peter Horton!!!
My condolences to the family, this young man was holding a gun to a young woman’s. Even shot off a couple shots along side her. This comes from witness that were present. So it is not cut and dry… so sad so sorry for the family and friends of this messed up kid.
Yeah the witnesses that were present were all Peters friends and klynns cousins. This is not klynns first murder case she was involved around she knows what to say. Peter has been a weirdo so has klynn he’s always forced himself on young woman then when klynn would catch it she’d beat the girls up even if they were under age. It’s all on record. Released today and not on bail but I guess that is what happen when one your brother knows how to work the system. Three shots with a rifle is not self defense but no matter not to mention he was shot outside by his car. Peter could of locked his house up and called for help if he was really that scared. There’s no fucking excuse this boy was graduating this year he did not deserve to go down like that. End of story truth teller.
There will always be creeps who have to involve politics and talk about Democrats blah, blah, blah when a tragedy is reported. Shame on you sick people. Go rant somewhere else. Condolences to the family of this young victim
Tequila in his heartbeat
His veins full of gasoline
He kept his motor running
But it never kept him clean
They say he loved adventure
Ricky’s the wild one
He married trouble
And had a courtship with a gun
Bang-bang shoot ’em up
The party never ends
You can’t think of dying
When the bottle’s your best friend and now it’s….
