Escapee?

[Cy4Lifer]

A teenager from Johnston, accused of attempted murder, escaped while being transferred to a facility in Waterloo. Sounds like he just got out of the police vehicle when it stopped at an intersection and ran away. Can anyone explain how something like this can happen these days?

Probably the same way it could happen at any other time, someone probably screwed up.

Wow. I mean… Someone should be fired, but probably won’t.

 

[Acylum]

It’s only attempted murder. Settle down.

Going to be cold wearing those jail house sandals in December.

It was probably those kids with the wrenches.

What kind of vehicle? Aren't the door handles removed from the back doors on a cruiser?

I'm mostly wondering why his feet weren't restrained in some way or do they not do that during transport

If juvee, it may be a social worker taking him somewhere. Sounds dumb but dumb things happen.

According to the EIU fans Hoiberg is going to transfer him to the Nebraska bball team

Why does someone have to fired for every fricken mistake they make?

I mean this seems like a pretty large mistake. Seems like the one goal is to not let the violent offender escape. It's not like they bought the wrong staples for the stapler.

I mean he was only charged with attempted murder. It's not like he killed someone.

 

[VeloClone]

It is a little premature to say that someone should be fired. We don't even know what happened.

In this day and age the thought process for 40% of America thinks he did nothing wrong…oh wait sorry never mind, I see this guy is black.

Not 100%, but based on the news story it sounded like a private company was hired to transport the guy. Maybe it was just initials for the juvenile jail.

Seems to me, if a kid is old enough to use a gun to commit a crime, old enough to do adult time and be in adult jail.
