GOOD REASON FOR A SCHOOL BUS PHOBIA

By Bob Walsh

 

Kaeden Holland "Baby K" pleaded guilty to attempted murder in Maryland

                                         Kaeden Holland aka Baby K

 
Back in May of 2023 something interesting happened on a school bus in Prince George's County, Maryland.  It left a bus driver with a significant case of PTSD and a middle-school student with a well-earned phobia about school buses.

On that day Kaeden Holland (aka Baby K), then 15, along with two of his road dogs, climbed aboard a school bus with the intent of killing a student on board that bus.  Holland pulled a gun and aimed it at the face of the unnamed student and tried several times to shoot him.  The gun never did discharge.  Then Baby K's road dogs beat the crap out of the intended victim.  There isn't much doubt about what happened, there were witnesses and surveillance footage on the bus.  A one minute clip was shown in court.  

Holland's shyster, Michael Lawlor, tried to make Holland out to be a victim of society.  Single parent household.  Lower socio-economic upbringing.  Exposure to violence.  Prior victim of "gun violence" himself.  The unfortunate incident of attempted murder was described as "a slip."  All of this led to his "lapse of judgement" in attempted a murder on a school bus.  He also blamed the surveillance system for supplying the evidence against his client.  He ignored his client's significant history of violence and not finishing probation programs in the past for another deadly weapon incident.  The school bus attack two months after his prior probation was closed out "unsuccessfully."  Holland was charged for two homicides which occurred two days after this incident.  That prosecution is pending in D.C.  

The prosecutor, Aisha Braveboy (hell of a name there) didn't buy that.  

In any event poor little Baby K will now be a guest of the people for 25 years.  He copped to attempted first-degree murder and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.  He was prosecuted as an adult but will serve his time in an adult prison with a juvie program.  He could have gotten life.  His road dogs were also prosecuted as adults.
