Teen beats up his grandmother - because she won't buy him beer (Florida)

Tampa Bay 10 ^ | 1/25/06

He was probably going to get Alaskan Pale from the Alaskan Brewing Company.

[Anvilhead]

It was probably some drug. Most drugs are sold in $100 increments. Given the situation and the violence I would have to say crystal meth or coke.

[Concho]

Another shining example of no discipline.

Someone, will one day, stomp his fat hindend into a mud puddle then stomp it dry again, and it will begin to get his attention.

[MARKUSPRIME]

This is clearly a lack of discipline while the kid was younger. If I even attemped any crap like this my pops would have kicked my ass. He was in the marine corps for 37 years and kept my retarded young arse in line long enough for me to get old enough to realize what an idiot I was. I am eternally grateful for the morals and values he instilled in me. This is one of the reason I think we need a mandatory 1 year military term for all males over 18.

OK - so please explain that picture - not all of us get it, you know.

[Billthedrill]

Two words - boot camp.

[Concho]

Work him over gunny.........

[Horatio Gates]

He was in the marine corps for 37 years

Except for that part, reading the rest I swear we could be brothers. My pop was from the same mold it appears

[Old Seadog]

I guess he's a heavy tipper.

[This Just In]

Yes, discipline indeed. Along with a loving, nurturing home environment. Quality education, structure, rules, healthy diet and exercise, and a high moral ethic to say the least.

[MPJackal]

"asked her for $100 for beer"

That is one crap load of beer.

[Emmet Fitzhume]

Right on.

He should be sent to one of those camps I saw on TV.

The one where parents voluntarily send their children to crawl under the boots of former Marine and Army Drill Instructors for several weeks.

Good stuff.

Why does Florida have so many Psychos? must be the humidity you need to cut with a Sword...

[Mad_as_heck]

This is clearly a lack of discipline while the kid was younger.

I agree. On the other hand it takes a particularly vile sort of slug to beat up his own mom or grandma. Even Hitler loved his mommie.

This sort of outrage is happening more, in part, because so few children have intact families with an actual mom and dad. Its hard for a child to grow into a healthy mature adult when there are no healthy mature adults around to use as role model.

There was a time when a boy that hit his grandmother would have been clobbered senseless by multiple family members in quick succession: Dad, grandpa, uncles, older brothers, etc. IMHO it was a time when people had the right idea about a lot of things.

Sounds like Kurt is soon going to hear, and not like, the phrase, "You sure have a pretty mouth."

[Callahan]

He was probably looking for a keg of something decent.

My Grandma would have bought me the beer.

[Callahan]

Not to make excuses, but I'm guessing this kid's parents--and Grandmother--aren't up for any citizenship awards. Trash breeds trash.

[Looking4Truth]

Here in Roanoke, VA about a month or two back some kid (13, I believe) killed his grandmother because she had told him to make the bed or some such thing. His punk-*ss will be going away for a while, but he'll probably be out when he's 21. Sick.
