Do you realize how much candy and a soda cost today? When I was a kid, I could get candy, baseball cards and a soda for 50 cents. I blame Bernanke for this attempted robbery. His scientifically created inflation has driven the cost of being a kid sky high. Do you know how much one of those PS3 games cost?  

Cops: Boys, 7 and 11, attempt robbery with gun

PORTLAND, Ore. — Two boys, ages 7 and 11, are accused of trying to rob a woman with a loaded gun, police said Sunday.

The 11-year-old boy had a .22 caliber loaded handgun when officers found him Saturday at the parking lot of a church, police said. Detectives were investigating how the boys obtained a gun.

“Officers told the 11-year-old to keep his hands out of his pockets but he ignored the officers and tried putting his hand back in his pocket,” Portland police said in a statement. “Officers grabbed his arms and recovered a cocked and loaded .22 caliber handgun in his pocket.”

The boys are accused of trying to carjack a 22-year-old woman who was in her family’s truck waiting for her parents at the church parking lot. The woman said the boys then demanded cash and her phone, and that the younger boy told the older one to “show her your piece.”

“The woman again refused to give them anything and she drove away, calling 911. As she pulled away, she saw the 11-year-old pull the gun from his pocket,” police said.

The boys were apprehended by officers responding to reports of children with guns. When they arrived, the boys tried to run away.

After the boys were caught, officers returned the boys to their families, but the 11-year-old tried to escape his parents’ house, police said. Officers later caught him.

    I keep hearing this fuckin lawyer commercial, 30 times a day, about “Pelvic organ prolapse”. I am sick of it if for no other reason than that phrase is Greek to me … like a foreign language … and I have no idea what the hell is being said.

    So, quite literally, I googled it moments ago and found this;

    “Pelvic organ prolapseis is a medical condition that occurs when the normal support of the vagina is lost.”

    Holy shit! A vagina with no support!!! (Call me, I’ll support it.) Anyway, talk about a bad hair day.

    for those who the question wasn’t rhetorical, ps3 games go for $60 new.

    being a kid is extremely expensive. luckily my 15 month old son’s favorite thing is books. but even a descent 8-10 page “board” book (so he can’t tear the pages) go for a minimum of $5 a piece.

    I once had two (white) boys, maybe 12, walk up to me and say “this is a robbery”, then walk away laughing. I wonder how funny they and their parents would think that was if I’d have maced the little a**holes.

    OMG, my dad nearly beat me to death when I (stupidly, and knowingly) shoved three pieces of penny candy in my mouth while checking out of our local grocery store.

    Being the young genius that I was, I decided to eat/steal jujubes type candies that were about a half inch thick and the size around of a nickel. Needless to say, it was impossible to chew up and swallow three pieces in time to answer dad’s question.

    First I had to march back into the store with the 3 cents my dad gave me, well first after I finally got the candy out of my mouth. Then I had to go and ask for the manager, then return the three cents and offer to wait quietly and unobtrusively while he called the police. When the (shocked) manager declined to prosecute me, I was then instructed to volunteer to work to “pay for” my crime.

    My dad stood back by the store doors, watching me fulfill my recently required obligations with a twisted look on his face (disgust and pride, I think) while I nearly hyperventilated while crying and trying to voice my apologies. The manager was nearly speechless.

    My ass was sore for a week, my conscience for a lot longer.

    And these little animals first took (stole) a gun, then used it? Just wtf?

    Do parents talk to their kids about expected societal and family behavior EVER?

    Speaking of parents, the KIDS are 11 and 7, just where in the hell were the parents?

    Even when I was going through my thug stage (as evidenced above), I would NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, touch my dad’s wallet or his gun rack. Never. Nor any of my friends’ dads. Nor would I stick around if they did it.

    Fucking Dr. Spock and other “spare the rod” type parenting, along with welfare for single mothers, have decimated this nations’ children.

    Regretfully, instead of getting a good ass-whiping and some physical labor, they will get to traipse through a juvenile justice system that is ripe with bureaucrats, unions, PhDs, and corruption. A “justice” and “reform” system that only seems to teach little Johnny (or Juanita) how to become a smarter criminal while serving to enrich the state and financially decimating the parents. Unless, of course, the parents are illegal, or hoodrats. Then they will be excused, as only the working middle must pay.

    My daughter will be saddened that these boys wouldn’t get Santa at their house. “Coal all around,” she’d tell me. I’m not going to tell her that for little bastards like this, he’ll probably still show. Our descent into the third world continues unabated.

    @TPC, as I’ve got to “know” you, I might have guessed that.

    Seems that those of us raised under “old-fashioned” standards, behave a certain way.

    Those ways are being lost, but I’ve continued on with my poor kids.

    My son has mused aloud the wonder if he would have been better off being raised like the masses. Much less of a strain on your thoughts and heart.

    But, thankfully, he knows better. As do you.

    I bet they were white trash kids.

    95% certain. Read the story, find the clues for yourself. They’re there.

    So solly folks, you can fold your white sheets up for the next story.

    1) The victim actually talked to the little punks instead of screaming

    2) When the punks ignored the cops and went for the weapon they were not dealt with using tasers (at least) or worse.

    3) They were taken home to parents.

    Do the math.

    @Colma – well they weren’t Asian or Black. That much I’m certain of. But, dear Colma, you fail to understand the deeply twisted liberal nature of Portland. Not only is Portland liberal, not only does Portland re-elect its homosexual mayor AFTER his affair with a teenage/underage boy staffer is revealed, and not only does Portland proudly boast more strip clubs and porn shops per capita than any other city in America — Portland, OR is an Hispanic Sanctuary City par excellence, where Hispanics are actually the top favored race. The racial favoritism in Portland goes: 1. Hispanic 2. Gay White Hipsters 3. Negros 4. Asians 5. White Trash 6. Conservative White Hicks (non-Potland, OR red-county huntin’ fishin’ muddin’ types).

    There are major clues. FIRST clue: The officer repeatedly ordered the 11 year old to not put his hands in his pocket, 11 year old did anyway and grabbed his gun, but was tackled and had the cocked and loaded pistol wrestled away from him, instead of being shot. They will NOT shoot Hispanics for disobeying police instructions given in English in Portland. Unless the officer was bilingual, he had no choice but to be shot by the kid or wrestle the kid for the gun. A White or Negro child would very likely have been shot. But a Hispanic, well it would be the policeman’s fault for not issuing instructions in Spanish. SECOND clue – They returned the children to the families. White trash kids would be immediately taken by DHS as ‘children lacking supervision’ and the White parents would have to spend years and $50,000 in legal to get their kids back. Black kid would be immediately taken by DHS and given to the fostercare system for life. Even after the 11 yr old ran away, police picked up the little armed robber and returned him to his parents a second time. They will NOT split up Hispanic illegal alien families at whatever the cost in Portland. That would be a human rights violation of the poor ‘migrants’.

    @Colma – one thing you are 100% correct about though is that IF they ever announce the race of these 2 miscreants, they will be referred to as “White”. Portland has been a pioneer in this, and has been listing Hispanic criminals, even ones awaiting deportation by ICE, as “White” only for a decade or more. What Florida did with Zimmerman, calling him a “White Hispanic” would have been considered a racial slur in Portland. Just. White. Doesn’t matter if the Hispanic is 100% Azteca Indian with little-to-no Euro ancestry, if they commit a crime in Portland they are Just White. “Hispanic” truly is the magic, favored race — Hispanic for all benefits and special accommodations, Just White for all crimes.

    It turns out that while the woman was talking to the news reporter, the eleven year old actually returned to the scene!

    His face his blocked out, but he’s wearing a short sleeved shirt. He is clearly white white, as you can see in the vid below.

    “Pelvic organ prolapses are a medical condition that occur when the normal support of the vagina is lost.” – stucky (spelling corrected, and a shift to the plural throughout the sentence due to stuck’s original pluralization of his misspelling). What the fuck does this mean Stucky?

    Well I don’t have to use fancy words that I can’t spell, or obtuse angles to sneak up on the fact that sometimes pussy’s just give out. It is a natural thing across the board in the animal kingdom.

    I hope you can take this gentle correction in a like manner and not blast back.

    @KB – you must have been here years ago when the state was still 95+% white (not too many years ago) and doing mostly meth. Now it is Heroin/Oxycodone and the Hispanic population has grown at 5x the rate of the state population. According to the Federal Census, now 1 out of every 8 Oregonians is Hispanic. That is the amount counted by the Census, and does not include the rest who don’t fill out the census forms (many, many, many). Hispanic births outnumber White births in the state.

    Contrary to popular belief, most of the Mexican Nationals in this state are NOT migratory farm workers in the rural areas. They have congregated in and near the cities of Potland and the state capitol of Salem. Especially on the NE side of Portland proper, demarcated by the recently renamed “Caesar Chavez Blvd”, and the East suburbs (Clackamas County) the South suburbs (Marion County) and they are even shoving the White farmers and Asian Intel computer chip Engineers out of Hillsboro (now referred to by Oregonians as “Hillsburrito”).

    But, wealthy downtown Potland like ‘The Pearl’ and ‘NW 23rd’ are strictly White, rich, homosexual, Hippies and Hipsters (with a few ‘bananas’ aka yellow on the outside, white on the inside Asians), and the Burnside bum area is all Whte bums and White heroin kids and Chinatown Chinese. North Ptown houses the entire 1.8% of the state population that is Black. Every other area of Potland is basically majority Hispanic now. Within 10 more years I predict a ‘majority minority’ population in Oregon – a state that even 10 years ago was exceedingly White.

    I was here in Texas since 1967. Doing meth? No. That would be my Xer brother and his friends. BTW I was working in Portland around 1999 to 2000. About the time the Xer meth heads gave birth to the 11 year old.

    So solly yet another of your ‘myths’ didnt work out for your theory.
