"You've Had it"

As PJ O'Rourke coined - Age and guile beat youth, "innocence," and a bad haircut any day of the week.

According to police, Smith ordered the boy to dial 911 and then gave him some advice. "Dial 911 and don't attempt to throw the phone at me, or do anything bad or I'll just shoot you," Smith said. When police arrived, they took the teen into custody.

Charges have been filed against the boy and an alleged accomplice.

What a cool story; there is no bad news here.

Except to the sickos so backward in their sense of freedom that they would have preferred to have an 85-year old woman robbed that to have her use a personal firearm to defend herself, her property and her liberty.
