Teenagers face murder charges in Traverse City shooting; arraignment details emerge
New developments Tuesday night in the case of a deadly Traverse City shooting.
17-year-old Eugene Thompson and 18-year-old Hunter Vanderwall appeared in court Tuesday and were arraigned on murder charges.
One of our UpNorthLive viewers, who found himself in the middle of the shelter in place order, shared video with us of how things played out that night.
The arraignment of 17-year-old Eugene Thompson started Tuesday with a statement from Defense Counsel, Paul Jarboe, giving condolences to the family of Lawrence Boyd, the man who was shot and killed.

I'm surprised the libs in TC haven't started a go fund for the guys. They're just misunderstood and I'm sure there's some kind of systemic racism against Dutch and mixed race criminals

A tall tree with a short rope will start making people think twice about this type of stuff.
Pieces of shit.

Why can’t they just push the, “reset button” ? Or even try turning off and then back on ??

Proven murderers should be
immediately hung in public.
That would deter future murderers.
Don't wanna hang ?
Don't murder people.
Self defense is not murder.
You get a free lunch for that.

It's always a N involved in a terrible crime. Hunter Vanderwall's parents should have raised him better and warned him to stay away from Thompsons.

Let’s hope they don’t have a bunch of weak prosecutors and activist judges. Or We’ll see no justice.

And their family will cry "But they are GOOD boys!" when they are in fact murderous stealing thugs.

Now let's hear about their sad upbringing and how it made them do it.

Commit these kind of acts, better start expecting ol’ sparky. We HAVE to bring back the death penalty, ESPECIALLY under circumstances like this. No excuses or remorse, anymore.
