elder attacks... one on a grampa taking his grandkid fishing

I heard the guys on WEEI (D & C) talking about this this morning.
Friggin punks !

Gotta tell ya, i have a lot of friends in the 70 age category,
and uness it was a suprise attack there would be more than
a 70 year old in the water. :hihi:

Should put the kid in a room with Manny and see who comes out standing..Both of them need an old fashioned ass whooping

To bad they didn't give the kids name, we could bookmark it and have a pool on when he gets arrested for something major.

it reminds me of
 

those three kids who were riding around shooting
people on the street with a paint ball gun and
recording it all on a video while laughing their asses off.

it all boils down to what is deemed funny
like the jack ass series or some other
form of entertainment media.

kids now a days seem to have less of a
concept of good clean fun and he should
have been out doing something more thrilling
than
to get his ya ya's
from intentionally hurting someone.

If I'm not mistaken isn't assault and battery on the elderly a felony? If it is maybe some time at the penal institution for adults is in order and I don't mean isolation either. ronfish

Shock incarceration might not be such a bad idea. What that kid did is unacceptable.

Having retired parents and other relatives on the Cape in their 70's, I worry a great deal about this sort of thing happening to them. I am somewhat comforted to know Hooper's on patrol in their town, just the same, you just can't predict when some idiot's going to do something stupid to some unsuspecting senior.

It is, but it's not something a 14 year old can be sent to an adult jail for.

Have the kid spend his ENTIRE summer working in an elderly assisted-living facility, and let's see him brag about having to empty bedpans, and change adult diapers to his friends. Although he will only be charged as a minor, this should be reported to his school, so that they can be on the lookout for potential bullying.
And should the parents complain about that, they should have to pay for the man's medical expenses and glasses replacement.

If the kid would do this, what's to say he wouldn't begin (if he hasn't already started) bullying and terrorizing younger kids as well?

Maybe the stigma of having to have a psychological evaluation might smarten the smart-a$$ up!

Maybe at one it was taught in the home, but for the most part it's not these days ~!!!!
