#1 Mrs Martin denied that her son was carrying a firearm last night and say he was shot as he tried to run away

Motherly love - one of the wonders of the universe. You could commit atrocities and genocide but your mom would still stick up for you.

Was she there?

#3 No, she looked at the 12th or occulted video, which plainly shows Godzilla dropping a cold weapon at the scene. Paul Drake can be seen in the background in a '61 Thunderbird.

#4 Making false statements - obstruction of justice charges. Make'm stick enough, a lot of this crap will go away. "But she's grieving" is not an excuse to violate the law.

#5 If it wasn't for the video her narrative would be the active narrative right now. More proof the cops were way to slow after the Michael Brown incident.

#6 None of my Bing Crosby albums have any songs about toting a 9mm on Christmas Eve. Must be one of those cultural differences I need to appreciate.

#7 There's always a silver lining. At least the family of the perp does not have to endure another Christmas worrying what type of mischief the evil little fok will get into next.

#8 The victim had a record of three armed assaults and other charges for theft since he turned 17

yep - just turning his life around

#9 Ditto Frank. He was certainly well on his way. Tragically, so many never survive the initial neighborhood hoodlum credentialing process.

#10 The "mother" probably sports as many gang tattoos as the spawn.

I hear of multi generation gangster families.

Ship, was Della Street in the car with him?

This reminds me of a story my dad told me. On Christmas Day, 1943, my dad was topside on an LST going from the New Guinea staging area to Cape Gloucester. The Chaplain tried to get some Christmas carols going, but they kept sputtering out. Then someone started singing, "Pistol Packing Momma," and everyone joined in with gusto. Calmed pre-invasion nerves.

#15 Yes DINDU! Very logical. I get it.

#16 It sounds as if the kid and his buddy were looking to become cop killers that night. Not sure why they thought being a cop killer or dead was a good situation to put themselves in. How would the mom have known if the kid was armed? Did she give him the once over with a detection wand before handing over the car keys?

#17 Huffington Post:

CORRECTION: A previous version of this story included an interview with a man claiming to have been at the scene of the shooting and friends with the deceased. As police have released statements saying the second person involved in the incident has fled the scene, the source is now suggesting he was never there.
