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.

+1No, no. I do know that it costs all of us more when we incarcerate an idiot. And, does it have to be a paying job that was available for the public? NO. It would be a FREE act forced on a jackass criminal that has to provide public service for nothing to pay for his or her crimes. Wallah.reply - Hobbitt... USAISME 2011/09/03 02:18:16+1Maybe a BB or 2 in Bert and Ernie and Mr Snuffulupagus would be a good punishment for Juvie offenders....reply
