Police have an eight-year-old Florida boy in custody after he allegedly stole his mother’s gun and tried to rob a store with it.
Eboni Alls said her 8-year-old wanted to go to the park Wednesday night, but after she told him to go, she later learned he was up to no good.
One employee said he wasn’t sure if the gun was real or fake in the moment, but that he took the threat seriously. Several workers reacted quickly, and one reached Jaden, twisted his wrist, and took the weapon away.
An employee attempted to take the child to an office within the store, but Jaden tried to get away. The store manager called police, who took Jaden into custody.

And......just what color was this yute? Na, I already know.
You get three guesses and the first two don’t count.
Dead by the age of 16.
More like, "Wait until your father gets paroled."
What will you be saying when the next junior grade armed robber kills someone? What will you do when the next junior grade armed robber sticks a gun in your face?
The little turd needs to learn, NOW, the gravity of what he did.
The age at which a child is considered capable of acting responsibly.
Under Common Law, seven was the age of reason. Children under the age of seven were conclusively presumed incapable of committing a crime because they did not possess the reasoning ability to understand that their conduct violated the standards of acceptable community behavior.
Those between the ages of seven and fourteen were presumed incapable of committing a crime, but this presumption could be overcome by evidence, such as the child having possession of the gun immediately after the shooting.
Children don’t reach the same milestones at the same time. He’s just a kid, a kid who needs guidance, but just a kid.
LOL!
Was the gun legally hers and legally possessed by her? Inquiring minds want to know.
Hmm. She looks oppressed by fat-cat Zionist capitalist business owner-banker Republican racist right wingers. Somebody give that woman some free crap!
