Video: Philadelphia Teen Serves An Armed
Robber Instant Justice After He Attempted
To Steal From His Mom – He Now Starts
His Legal Battle

Original Article

Surveillance video shared on social media of a shooting inside a Spring Garden pizza shop last month appears to contradict portions of the initial account shared by police, including the assertion that the shooting victim was shot after he tried to strangle the mother of the teenager who ended up firing on him. The 28-second video instead shows the would-be robber forcefully reaching for the register — not the cashier — in an apparent attempt to steal money. Within seconds, a 14-year-old behind the counter pulled a gun from his waistband and fired from point-blank range, the video shows.

Comments:

These were big guys and bad guys. No telling what would have happened to the mother without her 14YO son intervening. Why would they charge the teen?

Good on this kid. That's an awful thing for the kid to have to do. I hope he's not too scarred by the incident.

Does anyone have $100 per hour for lawyer representation and a team of 9 more lawyers ($1000 per hour - that's low balling it massively)? Remember, the robber was a nice kid, turning his life around, who sang in the choir, who just wanted to get a loaf of bread.

Like protecting your home your business is next. If the 14 y.o. had chase them outside it would have changed the charges but it was indoors. The black thieves are getting bolder but how did the police report get to be so wrong. Whose fault was that?

1. Don't normally think it's a good idea for a kid to carry, in public, a loaded gun. 2. That said, he was justified. If his mom had shot the creep, SHE'D be justified. 3. How was the 14 yr old supposed to know if said creep wasn't armed? When someone aggressively invades your space, expect the worst, and if there are multiple actors, respond with lethal force. If the robbers had not tried to rob, they'd still be unharmed.

I strongly believe in gun control; everyone should control their gun. Good on this kid for opening up. Give him a medal, a pat on the back and a $50 Amazon gift certificate and send him in his way. Send a bill to the perp for the ammo.

I wish to be a little stern with some of the above commenters. The tragedy of liberal DAs who throttle law enforcement in our nation's cities is that a lot of people who truly "shouldn't be carrying guns" -- iike this frightened kid, alone with his mom in a 'hood store -- feel they need to do so for self-protection. The police in New York admit that some truly "good kids" feel so abandoned by the Responsible Adults that they bring weapons to school for self-defense. And that includes some BIPOC kids, believe it or not. To speculate that "this 14-yr.-old shouldn't have had a gun" obscures the relevant issue. The violent thug got what was coming to him. Bravo. It was a legitimate, quick-thinking and courageous act of self defense by the kid. The distinction between his claim that the thug was strangling his mother, instead of, as it appears, punching at her wildly in a desperate physical struggle, is nonsense. She was under deadly attack. The kid deserves steadfast legal defense and acquittal in this instance, if not in somebody's speculation on the ultimate judgment of the Court of Heaven. Just remember all the recent caterwauling about Klyle Rittenhouse: "What was heeee doing with a GUN?"

It reads to me like the initial police report was intended to protect the kid from prosecution because the police on the scene thought he had done the right thing at the right time. Unfortunately, when higher ups (either in the police force or the DA's office, or both) saw the video, they realized that the boy had technically violated the law and they could not allow a story to be out there about someone using a gun in a positive manner.

That's what you call DRT. Dead right there. Hit the off button. Head shot from two or three feet is effective, never even twitched. Hands slowly relaxed and he dropped the fists full of money. IMO, a perfect outcome. Lowest possible cost for this criminal being kept from ever harming anyone else again. I doubt if any jury will convict that young man on anything. He should get a medal.

The robber who was most shot actually survived, according to the report. The assistant robber was also injured. It looked like a violent attack from the camera angle. I can't say how much worse it looked from the kid's angle, but I would guess a lot worse.

#11, in a family business is "not in public" and in most cases shopkeepers are permitted to keep a gun for self defense. I agree with your other two points. And, in general, 14 year olds cannot carry a gun, although when I was that age....we carried our .22 rifles all over the place -- in rural Virginia, when squirrel and rabbit hunting. And when I was 17 and 18 I often had a .22 pistol in a holster when we went armadillo hunting in my friend's open "dune buggy" sort of vehicle. And we'd often stop at the local store for a pop and snack after hunting. That was rural Florida in the 60s. Never got any comments about the gun in the holster in the store. But they knew me, I my friend well, a small town.

Many of the woke politicians who have pushed for student-loan cancellation are themselves hip-deep in school debt, federal records reviewed by The Post show. Most members of “The Squad” — the coterie of socialist legislators led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) — fall into this category. Collectively, they owe between $180,004 and $400,000 in student loans, the records show. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez had a balance of between $15,001 and $50,000 in federal student loans as of 2020, according to her most recent personal financial disclosure.

People who harass or bully others do so in order to validate to themselves that they are somebody. They learned this behavior from role models in their environment. Most often, they were harassed or bullied during their childhood or adolescence and they act out their hurt and frustration by treating others the way they were treated. It is a defence mechanism. “I will put you in your place and show my power over you, before you do the same to me,” is the unconscious thought process behind bullying. By doing this, the bully, in fact, feels safe.

One of the main tenants for a stable and law-abiding society is a judicial system that enforces laws and ensures equal justice for all.The reverse is true in progressive cities, resulting in an increase in crime. Various government organizations, even all the way up to the Department of Justice, have gone astray. Social justice warriors are now in positions in the DOJ to implement “racial justice”, which determines how to prosecute cases based on the race and/or social justice cause, not commensurate with the crimes committed.A perfect example can be seen in a murder committed by a BLM arsonist.

A Joe Biden voter explained why he became "disgusted" with the president's administration and raised concerns about the direction the Democratic Party is headed. "A year in and I'm disgusted with them both. I'm disgusted with [Vice President] Kamala Harris and Joe Biden," Isaiah Carter, a New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) worker and member of the Democratic Party, told Fox News. Carter listed critical race theory and the Afghanistan withdrawal as key issues he has with Biden. He also faulted the president's COVID-19 policies and his propagating of gender ideology issues, especially among school-age children, by the administration.

At a critical point in the 1980 campaign, Ronald Reagan had enough and cleaned house of his senior political advisors including campaign manager John Sears. One staffer would later recall, “Ronald Reagan would not have come so close in 1976 had he not hired John Sears; and Ronald Reagan would not have won the GOP nomination had he not fired John Sears in 1980.” As it does on so many occasions, history repeats itself. Like Reagan before him, Donald Trump now must clean house if he hopes to make a serious political comeback. Trump’s 2016 win was mostly of his own doing. Being the outsider candidate that he was,
