Stupid criminal - selfie

From the Pittsburgh, PA Tribune-Review:

Jeannette teen, charged with killing another, took 'selfie' with body, court papers say
A Jeannette teenager fatally shot a 16-year-old classmate in the face and took a picture with the body, which police used to charge him with the killing, according to court papers.

Maxwell Marion Morton, 16, is being held without bail in the Westmoreland County juvenile detention center on charges of first-degree murder, homicide and possession of a firearm by a minor in connection with the death of Ryan Mangan.

Morton, who was arraigned Friday, is charged as an adult.

Mangan's mother found him Wednesday in their Rankin Avenue home. He had been shot once in the face, authorities said.

A bit more:

Police said Morton sent the selfie by using SnapChat, an application for smartphones that allows users to send photo messages that disappear from the recipient's phone within a few seconds. But the boy who received the photo saved it before the message deleted itself, according to a police affidavit to support the charges. The recipient's mother contacted Westmoreland County 911.

More:

Morton also allegedly sent text messages that read, “Told you I cleaned up the shells,” and “Ryan was not the last one.”

Of course, left out of the narrative but very evident from the photos is that the killer is black and the victim is white. Where are our President, Tax Cheat Al and Jesse Jackson now? This murder was racisssssss!!!!

Over 250 comments and some good back-and-forth dialog. It seems like Jeannette has turned into quite the cess-pit. Used to be a major glass and heavy machinery center but the cheap off-shore labor came along. Grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Jeannette several times for factory tours through our school.
