Two teens wearing hoods shot up a New Orleans school bus

A 14 year old isn't a "mid-teen." But I am interested in knowing why you used that description.

Well, sometimes adults of 18 and 19 are called teens. 16 is definitely mid teens, isn't it? Yes, 14 might be young, so maybe early to mid teens.

May I ask why it matters?

I was just trying to narrow down the age range rather than the vague "teens". Also, I wanted to to point out the suspects weren't adults.

And if I must say, it seems to matter to you since I am being grilled for my choice of words.

Asking you to clarify a comment is not grilling. It mattered to me because I was trying to figure out where you were going with the "clarification." But I get it. You're a moderator so you can "grill" posters for explanations, links, etc., but get uncomfortable when the tables are turned. I won't bother you again.

I beg your pardon, both of my kids (one male and one female) often wear hoodies, and my husband and I both own a few ourselves.

It aint about the hoodie!!!!

And both of my kids own firearms (rifles and handguns), and my wife and I own a few ourselves.

I ain't about the gun!!!!

That's how it works, and they don't like it if a peasant starts asking questions.
