Same guy that robbed Chico's?
The thug doesn't look like he did very well. Does the thug occupy the bottom-end of the I.Q. Bell Curve?
dumb as a fence post…..wow.
Jeanette…my thoughts exactly!
damn he shoulda tried going to food for less at least it's not in the same shopping center as the store he jacked
I love how people feel the need to judge eachother! Weather this kid was right or wrong its sad to see a life ruined! Him wondering around the same area makes me feel he almost wanted to be held accountable for his actions, or he has mental issues.If he injured anyone its a different story. Human nature is heartless! Maby if we where more compassionate to each other this kind of think would not happen as much. we need to focus on holding ourselves as accountable as we try and do to others! by passing judgement weather on Facebook or not! its just pathetic to me
That's the guy, well anyway, that's what I heard. Too bad Chico didn't hit him over the head with a large pan…
Adam I love your bleeding heart but if there's one thing I've learned in my 65 years it's that you can't excuse other's behaviors based on your personal values. Noble thoughts, just not real in today's world. He's probably a junkie and will now spend a few years in prison where heroin is readily available-for a price. Vey sad circle…..
PS: Would you still feel as compassionate if he had shot someone?
