“In 40 years, he will be a Democratic congressman no doubt”

Heck, he’s sleazy enough to qualify for the West Wing Clown Show of Felon/Cretins right now.

And - excluding his color - he could be the Obamadork’s son.

Hopefully he was a stowaway because he knew what his parents were going to do to his behind for stealing the truck.

Probably wishful thinking I know, but if I ever did that cross country still wouldn’t be a far enough head start to escape dad’s wrath.

All it would have meant was even longer before I could sit down again...

Well, if he gets no discpline and direction in life, you’re right. However, he’s still young, so he might get back on track.

One thing is sure, the kid is a creative thinker. He kept the waitstaff at a restaurant from calling the cops when he split without paying by leaving a stolen piece of luggage at his table. Then he bypassed 3 security checkpoints with no boarding pass. So, he’s got something upstairs, he just needs to figure out how to use it constructively.

In Canada, the “minimum age of responsibility” is 12 yrs old. IOW, no charges, no detention, etc. OTOH, the young offender can be taken into care, and sent to a foster home, where the parents know something about discipline.

I suspect that the laws in the U.S. are similar; but, I don’t know the details. Anyone?
