How Young Is Too Young?

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

No, not in that way...

An 11-year boy was arrested for armed robbery... at a Florida Walgreen's... Apparently, our boy took after our favorite Charlie Scene movie* and tried to rob a convenient store last night.

According to FoxnewsOrlando: 

    The incident started around 3:30am Monday when the youngster entered the Walgreen’s. Police said the boy was able to make it out of the store with a backpack with an undisclosed amount of cash. 

    “Officers were able to locate and arrest the child approximately five minutes after the robbery occurred.” 

Unconfirmed reports has it that the boy led police on a high-speed chase through the playground on his bicycle, no word yet if he was able to have sex with a girl* while riding however.

    Orlando Police said the boy did not steal any prescription drugs or medication; only cash. 

    The child has been charged with commercial robbery.

First of all, what is this kid doing out at 3am?  In a sane society we’d also ask why he had access to BB guns, but this is Florida we’re talking about.  

The good news is that, according to the police, the boy “did not steal any prescription drugs or medication; only cash.” For a second we were worried he might have an OxyContin addiction. 

[Full disclosure: Before you load up your Netflix queue, The Chase is only my favorite Charlie Sheen movie because of a similar experience late one night on the way home from a country bar in Jersey (don’t ask).  I was driving my girlfriend’s 1985 Dodge Charger down some dark highway when she decided to hike up her skirt, zip down my fly and climb on top of me.  By the time we finished I looked down to notice that my foot had the pedal floored and we climaxed together at 110 mph.  I have an affinity for Grease 2 for similar reasons.  Otherwise both films are rather forgettable.]

Granted Florida is...unique.  Cops that'll blink at you once and shoot on the second blink.  Road rage nuts that literally will follow you and shoot you dead.  Hotheads that will attack you at work, on street, in a restaurant, etc.

That being said, I'm glad when I hear a funny noise in the garage that I can grab my .357 and can take care of the problem, if need be.

Scanner Brian, lots of women down here have guns.  I see them at the shooting range all the time.  And a good amount of them are HOT.
