Calling for him to be put down, yes its a bit harsh, but certainly not more despicable than the actual crime.
growing up, I was taught to respect my elders, so when I see clips like these, I realize there are several things in play here...one of which I suspect is lack of home training. Does that excuse the behavior, no. But I take that into consideration as no normal human being goes around attacking innocent people. For a grown, experienced retired cop to utter the words "put him down" tells me that he is worse than the "thug" because he is supposed to know better. Perhaps suggest a way to help misguided ...wait, you guys prefer "punk or thugs" like this kid become better citizens rather than just kill him. That's ridiculous.

So yes, I stand by my post that his comment is more despicable to me.

I was gonna say that, but it's spelled wrong on the YouTube video, too. People not from NJ (or familiar with signers of the Constitution lol) are just following suit.

Wow, just wow. That kind of thinking certainly explains why so many young people have no concept of how to behave as a functional part of society. Mischief my backside, try a criminal act with intent to harm!

Well then I stand by my comment asking what planet you are living on because that is simply not the way the world works.

I don't disagree with your description of his action but we have to acknowledge that something is not right with him outside of the silly "shoot em" mantra.

and one killed although not when he was playing the game:

‘Knockout Game’ perp shot, killed

And one where the victim has help and then fights back (may not have been knockout game though):

"Sick" in the context that your firearm suggestion will likely be how that kid "ups" his game when he gets out of juvvie. The next old guy the kid encounters will probably never get up again.

Hmmmm.......

well said. My sentiments exactly

Did we watch the same vid? That young man is worse than a rabid animal.

As long as he stays in Patterson, meh, he's their problem.
