This is insane. Yes, the teen resisted arrest, I could understand those charges. But attempted murder? Once again, illogic rules.
A thug grabs an elderly woman's purse and runs off. She chases after him and has a heart attack. He is caught, charged, tried, and convicted of murder. There's no difference than if he had kicked her in the chest and killed her. Perhaps ideologues like to excuse personal irresponsibility, but rational, civilized people don't.

A group of kids run up behind a policeman and yell 'Boo!' in play, and he dies of a heartattack. What then do you think would happen? There's a fine line between direct and indirect responsability here, and the indirect can be painted very broadly. Where's the line drawn? (This is an inquisitive inquiry).
