Blood... Boiling...

I shouldn't comment on this story, but I will...

Boy Scouts Robbed At Gunpoint At Tree Lot
NORTH COLLEGE HILL -- North College Hill police are looking for three men who robbed a pair of Boy Scouts and their fathers late Monday.

The Boy Scouts, age 13 and 11, were selling Christmas trees in the parking lot of Tom's Drive Thru on West Galbraith Road shortly before closing at 9 p.m. when the men approached, one carrying a sawed-off shotgun.

"At first I thought it was just a little joke, but then, when I saw the gun, I was terrified," said John Hancock Jr., 13, of Troop 393. "And after I saw the gun this guy just punched me right here and it knocked me down," the boy said, pointing to his face.

As others have so eloquently stated: Rope. Tree. Scumbag. Some assembly required.

File this under "W" for "Why I Carry"...

Brave bastards, weren't they? Hold a kid at gun point while you slap him around? If they hadn't been armed, they probably would have gotten their asses kicked.

While not quite as aggregious . . . this reminds of when Buford Furrow attacked a Los Angeles area Jewish day care center. He chose his target for two reasons:
1) Furrow is a racist nazi pig {redundant} and by extension a rabid anti-semite
2) The day care center 'guards' as well as the rest of the staff were unarmed.
Fucking cowards, one and all. I'd have my 7 year-old daughter kick all of them in the 'nads. Repeatedly.
