Well hopefully he learned his lesson. Imagine you're on the bus and there is someone trying to get on without an arm?! Ugh..

That website is so disgusting, some things cannot be unseen.

I feel bad that this teenage armed robber lost an arm...




should have been a foot, the irony would make for better headlines.

Though there have been questionable uses of force to retrieve property, this teen ager was armed with a weapon.

The driver used lethal force in an attempt to retrieve property.

This isn't a "craigslist" thing - this is two horrible people who somehow managed to meet up.

All this over a pair of shoe. Priorities!

People shouldn't joke about the teen being dis-armed or being a one-armed bandit. It was a serious violation of his 2nd amendment right to keep his arms.

Could he have legally aimed a gun at the teen and demanded his shoes back?

He probably would get away with that. The robber was armed, he confronted an armed theif, I'd call that a wash.
