PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Two boys were arrested after they attempted to rob a Port St. Lucie police station and said, "We'll be famous now," according to authorities.

Port St. Lucie police said the two boys -- ages 12 and 14 -- walked into the lobby of a regional station on Wednesday afternoon and demanded money from an aide behind the glass enclosure. Police said the 12-year-old hid one hand under his jacket as if he had a gun. Another aide ran into the back screaming for help.

Within minutes, a half dozen officers, some with guns drawn, burst into the lobby and arrested the boys.

Both boys were charged with attempted armed robbery. Police spokesman Rob Vega said the boys were laughing and remarked, "We'll be famous now."

My grandfather was born in 1903, when I was young he told me a story about how he and his friends took some of their toy guns, put handkerchiefs around their face and marched into the local bank and tried to rob it. He said the security guard bend each one over his knee and paddled the hell out of them, then the bank manager marched each one home and told their parents what they did, who promptly bent them over THEIR knee for a little more “message reinforcement”. He always did tell that story with a big smile on his face, I doubt he would trade that memory for another year of life if he could.

These days most of those adults mentioned would be prosecuted for 'child abuse'. We can thank the ACLU and similar organizations for forcibly changing our culture to a state in which a twelve year old will attempt to hold up a police station and continuously laugh about it throughout the entire arrest procedure, because he knows full well that he has the upper hand in all aspects of the situation.

Unfortunately, there are a great many twelve year olds, as well as younger children, who have had their minds so utterly destroyed by the Left that the only 'message reinforcement' that will work on them anymore is a bullet.

Such a waste.

unfortunately, that video fell into the category of ‘you can’t watch this, stupid’, so must be of a fat lady beating up on a mugger, correct?

I'm very sorry; is there a technical problem you're having that I may be able to assist with? Please feel free to FReepmail me if you like :-)

Actually, the video is of a morbidly obese, middle-aged black woman giving an excruciatingly prolonged and embarrassingly public outdoor beating to a drunk / crackhead / hoodscum who can barely stand. She drags him on the ground by his shirt, beats on him a bit, drags him some more, insults and beats him some more, all while what appear to be 'her' extremely young children idly stand around and watch. He is so far gone at the outset that he can barely land a punch at all.....she keeps telling him to 'fight back' but he's unable. At one point an Atlanta police cruiser drives by but does not stop. It's one of those things that is just awful to watch but you can't look away....you're looking into a world that is utterly repulsive yet simultaneously captivating because you just 'have' to see how this dreadful scene will end.

I posted the link because it is quite probably a similar environment as what the children in this news story come from
