the army nor armed forces want your failures... that's what happened !!! this was a turf war, that encoutered more testosterone than one would narmally expect to see... there might have been a history between these 3 individuals... also one glaring fact that jumps out as i read the story, if he was such a great kid all around from mandarin what was he doing going to the southernmost high school in st. john's county ??? mandarin is way up in the northwest corner???? yet again jso knew about this locale & did not enforce patrols or ordinances ??? they never saw evedince of drinking, empty cans,bottles ??? as for the owner of the property having no trespassing or not signs,, these young adults knew they were trespassing on someone's property,, unless these wonderful children were dumber than a box of rocks ??? so apparently the parents of all the participants are failures,, for teaching their children to respect others property as well as life ???

This is really sad. But, another example of the level of, or lack of Respect for Others. Our youth play radios way too loud, speed down narrow city streets, and generally have no respect for others or their elders. As long as parents, who do not teach their children how to show respect and always whine and moan when their sons and daughters insight a situation and their child ends up learning a hard lesson of live, or get killed. Ryan, may or may not fit into that description but, it is obvious the two attackers and their parents ARE responsible for the death of a human being. What happened to the courts sending these misguided, disrespectful youth into the Army, and having to face a real enemy and learn to RESPECT LIFE.
