This sounds like a third grader's version of how robberies happen. Seriously? These guys are really not that stupid are they? I'm at a loss for words.

This is your brain......on drugs. Definitely not rocket scientists...

These boys need their arses whipped one good time!

More evidence that way too many members of our younger generations lack the attributes necessary to sustain a civil society. At the present time, young people who express honesty, integrity, a sense of personal responsibility, and respect for others are either lauded as exceptional or suspected of ulerior motives. Contributing to this result are generations of parents sold on the idea that building a child's self esteem was more important than instilling self respect. As such, we have a plethora of young people who most value acts that beneift themselves, rather than acts which also benefit the community. The arrogance and divisiveness in our Country is rampant and is being watched carefully by those who covet our land. There is a very good chance that soon, America will be led entirely by a group of people who base decisions on personal benefit rather than the greater good. God help us as the USA will then be ripe for picking and other world leaders will surely begin their harvest. Stepping down off my soap box now...

At the time of the offense, Emens was out of jail in Decatur on bail on an earlier charge of attempted second-degree burglary. Police intend to seek revocation of his bail

Does the above statement seem to be the norm today, Suspected thugs released and repeat before even being held accountable to the first one.

S, I owe you a beer for that. Perfectly explained.

Go S!! If you don't care I shall print that for others to read!!
