I wanted to independently verify this story; have to say I’m a bit disappointed.
Teen hero who helped save girl from abductor gets up to 10 years for armed robbery
He is still the boy who saved the girl.
Fuck, though.
Yeah, that’s why I was just a bit disappointed.
Switch the order of events and he gets a sealed Juvenile record and a heroic start to his adult life.
But he was paroled in 2019 - hope he’s good!
Deep down, all humans are trash.
I wouldn’t say that. Sounds like he couldn’t handle/capitalize on his earlier success.
Just sad.
Some woman was so impressed she set up a scholarship fund for the kid, yet he was still so broke he robbed a place for $200 (split between 2 people).
Humans being heroes! That’s an act of bravery most adults can’t manage, let alone a young man his age.
I’d be brave enough but 15 mins on a bicycle, fast chase or normal pace, and my fat old heart will give out.
Hmm, keep posting these things, we will see yet if humans can even approach redeeming themselves.

Ha! No sadness under the story about a literal kidnaping.
Get that dude some Lycra and a decked out Pinarello!
I think its very simple, track down this boy and make it president when he is a man.
Steal a couple hundred dollars = years in prison
Steal millions, harm the environment and kill people indirectly = Successfully entrepreneur or politician.
Ethics is more complex my friend. Stealing for necessity is justifiable.
Stealing for pure insane greed should be consider a psicológical disorder and granted reclusion and reeducation.
Good thing the United States would never elect a president with any criminal history
