Young Guns

An 11 year-old from KCK is charged with armed robbery and carjacking.

Police said the boy threatened to pull a gun on three children sitting in a car near Fifth Street and Quindaro Boulevard. The children's mother was inside a convenience store.

After forcing the children to get out of the car, the 11-year-old got in and drove off.

The boy was arrested when he drove the car to school the next day.

Stories about a young prodigy always make me feel horrible. This kid is so advanced. Hell, when I was 11 I was just beating up other kids and stealing lunch money. A few months in juvy surrounded by formidable criminal minds and there's no telling what this kid can achieve in terms of crime. The seemingly limitless potential of some children is downright scary.

By the way, I'm sure the kid in this story is probably a minority and not a white kid like the ones pictured above but the mainstream press gets to create their stereotypes so I don't feel guilty about spinning some of my own. Besides, white people are violent too. All of those Native Americans didn't kill themselves.
