    That's one wobbly ass security camera. Or it's one of the clerks buddys standing on their chair in a corner with a cell phone while another buddy comes in with an airsoft gun and pretends to try and steal the laptop. They're probably snickering right now... "haw haw, our video's being watched by people".

    My first thought was, he has some data on the laptop he doesn't want found by anyone else, especially not cops. But maybe just personal info...

    Do we know the make a model? I mean that is important. I can see a lot of Gizmotians would die for the MB, but not the Dell.

    Does anyone make a bullet proof laptop? The Toughbook is pretty close!

    God I hate thugs.


    They're ancestors work hard for civil liberties, and they throw it all away because "dey all balla's!"


    Seriously, they need to knock it off. They make it exponentially harder for hard working minorities to be successful.

    @sdowney83: I blame children. They are just horrible now-a-days, no matter what race and/or creed they come from, especially if they smoke real cigarettes.

    You would think after almost killing people, this Grandmother/Mother/Neighbors should have been allowed to beat this kid, but HE'S protected.



    But he learned his lesson, right?

    Grammar looks fine to me, and excuse me if you can't say someone is a thug just because they are black. Sorry, that punk is a thug, and he does set back race relations and enforce negative stereotypes. Just like if I see some idiot white guy on tv talking about white power, I say the same thing.

    @dayv: Yes, say something a person doesn't agree with and it's immediately racism. Don't touch it! It's an electrified rail.


    Racism doesn't end when we all are too embarrassed to talk about what we think or feel. Racism ends when it doesn't matter, and people can talk about their experiences without being labeled a racist.


    If I said a mexican that entered the country illegally robbed my house, ate my food, and destroyed my property, people would call me a racist. Even if all of the above are true and factual.


    If I said I hate black 'thugs' and that they're doing their own race a disservice. People would call me a racist.


    If I said I hate ignorant redneck meth-mouthed trailer trash because they refuse to do anything with their lives. People would call me a fucking hero...or throw their RC Cola and Moon Pies at me. Then Toby Keith would write a song about sicking the Taliban on me.

    It's sad when a kid thinks all he can get out of life is an iphone. Anyway, I hope he really learns a lesson. Most kids who go to jail just become better criminals.

    The original Mr. Who v.2.0.1 is probably an older gentleman, hence the use of the term 'kid' when describing this young rapscallion..
