According to reports, a 14-year-old boy in Chicago has been charged with 12 felony counts of armed robbery as well as two misdemeanor charges of criminal trespass to a vehicle, and battery.
The teen, whose name has not been released, was originally accused of committing armed robbery a whopping seven times across the city in only 45 minutes.
How is that even possible?? That would be a robbery every six and a half minutes, which sounds like quite the feat, even for a skilled criminal.
At his age his parents have to be held responsible.

I thought thats the way they raise children in the murder capitol of the US! Normal behavior!
What can you say? After all, it IS Chicago!
But–but-but, they have very strict gun control. Their gun control measures disarm innocent, hardworking, citizens and arm the lazy, gutless pieces of garbage that are a total waste of oxygen.
Does it get any better than this? A democrat city just reeking of slimeball thieves, killers and street people.
Here’s my bet: The thug was black and a majority of his victims were white. The reason it will never show up on MSM.
How did he travel that distance? Was he on a bike?
Too bad he didn’t get offed.
