Weapon on floor...next to arm...kid was OBVIOUSLY 'un ARMED!'

[OldSmaj]

Well, li'l Dindoo Nuffins will get a yuge check from some insurance company, life-time support and loving care from the Taxpayers, a free prosthetic arm (probably state-of-the-art) from the Taxpayers and his lawyers will get rich.

In addition, his father, (Wooden Do Nuffins) will received a huge settlement for all the heartache he had to endure and his mother (Ainlyin Bout Nuffins) will have a healthy sum of cash to tempt the company of the several other fathers of the several other children she has spit out (paid for by the Taxpayers, of course) onto the mean streets of New York City. (Well, actually in a well-equipped ob/gyn facility that got probably three times what it should have cost, courtesy of the Taxpayers.)

And the victim will go to jail for daring to react to an attempt on the part of a despicable thug trying to take that which was not his.

A fairy tale, indeed.

And all that before Al Sharpton has even made an appearance.

Not to worry, Al, baby, there's enough graft to go around...just strum that White Privilege Banjo and pin that Race Card on the lapel of your $2500.00 Armani suit.

Oh, yeah, don't forget to mutter something about black lives matter or some such crap.

Hand Up-Don’t Prosecute

[CurlyDave]

My big question is: How did the arm end up inside the car with the gun?

Doesn’t sound to me like this went down the way the story says.

I could much more easily believe that the kid stuck the gun in the car window and the driver raised the window and took off. He then tried to brush the kid off the car against the fence. That scenario is self-defense.

Wookies are known to do that.

Instead of speeding off, the seller turned his car around and drove after the teenager, crashing into him in front of a fence.

That will be problematic for the seller. Especially in NYC.

Just wondering why you took time to rewrite the article to eliminate the names of those involved? At least, that’s the way it seems when your post is compared to the linked article at NYPost.com.

Just another example of out-of-control Vehicle Violence.

He will have fun tying his laces form here on out...

[Minutemen]

All charges were dropped.This was certainly NOT strong-arm robbery.

[BerryDingle]

If he doesn’t get feeling back into that re-attached arm, he may spend the rest of his life with a speech impediment.

[Company Man]

Sounds like neither one of the guys is an honor citizen. Or a rocket surgeon, for that matter.

[Bon mots]

Unfortunately, they arrested the driver for attempted murder. They should give him a medal.

The blue sign on top says no standing. So there ya go.
