Here's a thought ....
The kid deliberately targeted an ELDER .. doesn't matter what was taken .. he used a weapon on the elder ..
DO The CRIME .. do the TIME ..

Earlier this week we asked SodaHeads if they thought a New York juvenile should get two-to-six for using a BB gun to rob seven cents from a 73-year-old man, and the votes poured in.
If you missed the original story, we'll get you up to speed:
The results are in, and it looks like the majority sided with Judge Walsh.
Now that everyone on SodaHead has access to demographic breakdowns, today we thought we'd branch out and tap into some external sources as well for a fuller perspective.
Let's dive.
If you missed the original story, we'll get you up to speed:
[Anthony] Stewart had the chance to plead guilty and be sentenced as a youthful offender. He refused, and Judge Walsh threw down a two-to-six-year sentence in a juvenile facility -- and a lifelong felony conviction.
Prosecutors maintain that Stewart and Ninham attacked the man and stole all the money he had on him: seven cents. The teens had BB guns that looked like hand guns.
Stewart isn't old enough for prison, so he'll serve his years in a juvenile facility.

In any case, the sentence will be reduced to a couple of months
and he probably won't be seeking employment during his lifetime,
anyway.
I have seen many eye injuries caused by BBs as well. A couple of the people lost sight in the affected eye.
BBs should not be taken for granted. They can do damage.
First- this is not public opinion- this is SODAHEADS opinion responding to this particular question ONLY on Sodahead.
2nd- We have no idea what the demographics of S-heard are, and I'm sure they'll never tell us.
3rd- Even the PIE CHART IS DISHONESTLY represented, this is what a 95-5% pie chart always looks like.

And also, anyone who don't have the same view as they do about Muslims,is called a Terrorist sympathizer and supporter of Terrorist and Terrorism.
i know because they call me that all the time
If there was Oil on the moon.we would find a excuse to defend our freedoms on the moon from the moon people.Or as the warmongers like to say its better we kill them there instead of here.
War war, kill,kill,more war and more killing that's seems to be the norm that they are preparing Americans for.Unfortunately for Arabs and Muslims,they are the ones in their Bulls eye,and to make matters worse,getting pounded on their own turf,with no visible end in sight, and the chance that they might be occupied forever
And now we don't allow immigration from countries we go to rescue.
Over 4 million refugees from Iraq- the last figure I heard of immigrants to the US was 35.

Turkey expels Israeli diplomats after UN report
ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey expelled Israel's envoy and froze military cooperation with the Jewish state on Friday after a U.N. report on the deaths of nine Turks in an Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound ship failed to trigger an apology.
Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told reporters all diplomatic staff above the level of second secretary would be sent home by Wednesday and Turkey would freeze military pacts with its erstwhile ally.
"All military agreements have been suspended," he said.
Ankara also said it would seek to prosecute all Israelis involved in the May 2010 raid.
"Turkey will take legal actions against the Israeli soldiers and all other officials responsible for the crimes committed and pursue the matter resolutely," Turkey's embassy in Washington said in a statement.
The rift between Turkey and Israel comes despite U.S. efforts to encourage a rapprochement between two regional powers whose cooperation it needs to address changes sweeping the Middle East. Both countries share a border with Syria.

The rift between Turkey and Israel comes despite U.S. efforts to encourage a rapprochement between two regional powers whose cooperation it needs to address changes sweeping the Middle East. Both countries share a border with Syria.
The U.N. report on the flotilla raid, prepared by a panel headed by former New Zealand prime minister Geoffrey Palmer, was formally handed to the office of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and published on Friday , U.N. spokesman Eduardo del Buey said.
Del Buey later said Ban had hoped the inquiry and report on its findings would bring Israel and Turkey back together and "deeply regrets the fact that this has not been possible."
Turkey was stung by Israel's refusal to make a formal apology and pay compensation to families of the dead after the U.N. report said on Thursday that Israel had used unreasonable force in its raid on the Gaza-bound ship.
Israel's ambassador Gabby Levy is currently in his home country and cancelled plans to return to Turkey.
Israel said on Friday it accepted the findings of the U.N. report and hoped to mend ties with Turkey, but reiterated that it would not apologize for the deaths.

Did you know that, after the USA- Turkey is considered by Israel to be her second greatest ally?
And, of course, no one has ever even made a whisper about the AMERICAN KILLED in the Israeli raid.
Can Israel kill Americans with impunity?
Apparently so.
FURKAN DOGAN
In other words Bibi and the Zionist in effect tells us to "Shut the Hell up,and mind our own business,because we cant tell them what to do,and all we should be concerned about is in keeping those free arms and $$$$$$$$ billions of cash coming to them annually.
So if they treat us like that,one should expect that they will treat anyone else like Turkey the same or even worse.
Israels only concern is about Israel,and damn the world and anyone else
Because the world is here to serve them.
With friends like "The Zionist Element in Israel, who needs enemies?
All his garbage was only for International Political consumption.This he what he does over and over again.
When he gets back home and in front of his American Zionist supporters he will revert back to his arrogant Nazi,apartheid loving, Racist White supremest self.He does not want a two state solution and outright dismissed the fact that Stealing Palestinians land has anything to do with the problem
If only that would translate into some material action.
Listening to Obama,one would think it was the Palestinians who took away land and build settlements there.It like he read the script right off the Nethanayu clipboard.
Know what Victoria,i don't believe that the Palestinians will ever see the end of the occupation,or have their state, as long As America is the middle man.they have to get the US out of the middle and get a country thats at least neutral,because the mediator is also an arm of Israel.No fair,thats why they can not get any where ,and will never get anywhere.
One thing i also know is that the UN have to change the way how one country can defy the rest of the world with Veto power.
US has stood up with Israel against justice and used it 42 times already.thats a disgrace.
They must change it that no one country can ever defy the will of the world in that way
I'm tired. Seriously, I'm tired of these conflicts in the Middle East. They're not at my homeland, but they surely bug me. I believe that thiswill spark World War III. I'm just waiting...
We received the news quite easly here in Europe. Are they making censorship in America?
i am so sick and tired of this double standard
-I'm tired of this double-standard.
-I'm tired of this conflict.
-I'm tired of all Middle Eastern Conflicts.
-I'm tired of the Islamphobia.
-I'm tired of the Christophobia.
-I'm tired of the Anti-Semitism.
-I'm tired of this stupid crisis.
-I'm tired of not having healthy eating habits thanks to lack of money.
-I'm tired of getting critisized for not having a religion.
-I'm tired of this sexism.
-I'm tired of the homophobia.
-I'm tired of censorship.
-I'm tired of politics.
-I'm tired of ignorance.
-I'm tired ofeverything in this stupidworld and my stupid life.
Will people stop this crap already? I believe most Israelis and Palestians would agree withme when I say that all sane people in the world are tired of this****.
I'm sorry I had to writte all of this. But I need to express it some how.
Do you catch Al-Jazeera in English around there?
Hey, maybe I am in a priviledged area.
So they made it hard for you to get Al-Jazeera... I can't see why. It's pretty balanced and Pro-Democracy.
Now I don't trust what I hear and see anymore,I always go to other foreign sources to make sure I get a bigger picture,so i go to the UK papers mostly,and of course Al Jazeera,We really don't have balanced media here,even though some claim our media is liberal,it is far from that and not even close,or we would get more of the full picture
