2 kids steal guns out of a car at Blucor. Arrested. Ages 11 and 13

[Cylinder Head]

They're 11 and 13. Sure, they should know better, no question about that. But how many 11 and 13 year old kids have the mental maturity level to NOT make stupid decisions on practically a daily basis? And so what if patrons are armed? This is a trespass to a vehicle...not a robbery. Would you expect one of the patrons to shoot two kids because they're stealing stuff from a car?

Obviously the kids made some really poor choices. But, leaving guns in your car and not locking it? Imagine the civil suit the gun owner would be facing if he'd left one of the guns loaded and one of the kids shot themselves...or someone else. He made a really serious mistake that could've cost him far more than the loss of two guns and a knife.

I blame the parents, yes kids are stupid and yes I made some major mistakes as a kid, but I never stole anyone's gun because I knew how dangerous guns were and I knew not to handle one without an adult.

Also, my father was a huge and terrifying man. Any decision I made as a kid revolved around whether it would get me held aloft by my arms and spanked so hard I'd swing like a pendulum.

The owner of the truck definitely needs a reality check as well, but those little shits were looking for trouble and found it.

My wife got a dirty look at the Target in Glendale because she scolded my daughter ( no spanking, no yelling...just a stern warning and talking to ). The lady even had the nerve to make some type of grunt and shake her head. My wife without skipping a beat told her to mind her own damn business. Times have changed.
