STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A 20-year-old West Brighton man is the latest person to be charged in the heartless robbery of an armless teen.
Vincent Popalardo of Henderson Avenue faces felony and misdemeanor charges that include robbery and attempted robbery, grand and petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property, according to court papers. The address for Popalardo supplied by police is in the West Brighton Houses.
Carlos Simon, 18, who was born without arms, had his cell phone stolen by robbers who ganged up on him outside a store in Port Richmond around 8:30 p.m. last November 30.

Unarmed ‘teens’ just can’t get a break.
Umm - how did he use his cell phone? Butt dial?
You picked the wrong screen name.
Otherwise you would have thought of voice-activated headsets.
Maybe you typed with your butt?
Ow, shots fired...
Police declined to release the names of the suspects due to their ages.
We have to assume that they are either one of Obama’s family or have some type of brown tint to their skin since the article did not give definitive descriptions of the “ Yutes. “
Three is a special place in hell for people like this.
There are two basic rules in a civil society....
1) you don’t fight/beat up retards
2) you don’t rob the physically disabled
So, it was an unarmed robbery?
Jokes aside, some people are just evil. I hope justice is served on these punks.
I had the same question, the answer likely being a voice activated phone. My next question was how was he transporting it? I’ll take my chances being insulted by someone who already knows that answer and delights in trying to humiliate a stranger. I see this site as a place to meet and learn from each other, not put somebody down because they don’t pretend to know all.
“Stick ‘em up... didn’t you hear me... stick ‘em up!”
We should all lend him a hand (sorry, I couldn’t help it).
Clint might have suggested that he ‘arm himself’ before decorating that area with his presence.
I know, bad.
They had to “gang up” on a guy with no arms??? That’s pretty pathetic.
“isn’t that nice”?
To number 1), liberals should be an exception.
“Police declined to release the names of the suspects due to their ages.”
Well, wasn’t at least one of them 20? What is the maximum age of “youth” now? 30? That should make me feel younger, but somehow, it doesn’t.
3) You never beat on women.
I was just kidding - nothing to get up in arms about
I am sure at least one was named “Dindu”.
