I understand some people’s need to be a rebel for the hell of it, but a 14 year old in Pittsburgh, PA who pulled out a gun and demanded a police officer to surrender their personal vehicle must take the cake. Of all the people to attempt to carjack? Is this a sign of the times or what? According to the reports, this teen and four others SERIOUSLY thought they could carjack this police officer. But as soon as she opened her car door, they ran. Uh, dumb. Then, she caught up with the 14 year old and back up police officers caught up with the rest.

According to the Associated Press,

The juveniles have been charged with robbery of a motor vehicle and criminal conspiracy. The 14-year-old boy has been charged with illegal possession of a firearm.

This is one of the reasons that carjacking is so stupid, you don’t know what you’re gonna get when you pull a gun and try to jack somebody. What if that person you decide to jack, has a gun and can aim better than you? You wouldn’t be counting on that would you? People, people, people. Let’s get it together. When we decide to act fearlessly, let’s leave stupidity out of it!

WalMart

According to FoxNews.com, a Florida teen held another teen at gunpoint and forced him to buy a PlayStation 3 at Wal-Mart. According to the story,

The victim told Collier County deputies that 18-year-old David Daniels and another man stopped his vehicle and pulled guns on him last Monday after he followed them into a gated community.

Daniels and the other man reportedly took the victim to his home, where they took jewelry and his stepfather’s credit card.

Daniels and the victim then went to Walmart, supposedly to buy Daniels a shotgun, but the gun counter was closed.

Daniels then forced the victim to buy a Playstation 3 and let him go. The victim immediately called authorities.

Daniels faces felony armed robbery and kidnapping charges.

Next time you’re in WalMart, look around. If you see somebody holding a gun on somebody, discreetly pull out your cell phone and call 911 cause I doubt the WalMart greeter will be able to help the situation.

This is a pellet gun that absolutely looks REAL!

NEWYORK—According to Fox News, 15 year old, Marcus Bonner, was shot in the cheek after he pulled a realistic looking pellet gun on a NYPD cop. Though his injuries are apparently not life threatening somebody needs to tell the youth in America that if they pull a fake gun on a policeman, they are likely to get shot. Seriously. The cop is not going to wait to see if the gun is real.

I’m sure there will be activists who rally to say that some policemen are trigger happy and while that may be true, we cannot risk youth lives by not telling them about pellet guns, bb guns, or water guns for that matter. If a cop think that your gun is real, he can–and probably will shoot you. It’s not a joke.

What do you think we should do about youth being shot who’ve been carrying FAKE guns?
