Dumb Criminals

Taking a Lemonade Stand

There are some crimes that make you question man’s commitment to humanity. There are some crimes that make you question humanity. And there are some crimes that make you question your reason for continuing to be a man. You’ll notice I didn’t say “woman.” That because I like you just the way you are, but slightly easier.

According to the Associated Press, someone in Wisconsin robbed an 11-year-old boy’s lemonade stand.

Geez, first Osama Bin Laden, then Saddam Hussein, now the Lemonade Stand Robber. The axis of evil is complete.

Apparently it was two teens who eyeballed the kid’s stand. One punched him and the other took $20 out of the till and his wallet. Police aren’t sure who the boys are, but authorities said they have asked the police department in Hell for two teens fitting their descriptions.

Here’s the happy ending. The community rallied together and raised enough money to replace the boy’s stolen funds. Once the perpetraitors are found, they also plan to raise more money for the boy by selling tickets to their public flogging. There will also be a bake sale.

    Well, I have a comment on this one. I live in the town that this happened.
    The boy did get his money back, and the police caught the two guys who robbed the stand. I think they were both 17 years old. One may have been 19. I dont recall.
    The police had a reward for $1,000 for the arrest of the two boys. They found the boys on their own and then donated the $1,000 reward money to the boy who’s stand was robbed. lol He lost $20 from the robbers and came ahead about $1500. not a bad deal. At least the jerks who robbed the lemonade stand were caught. I cannot believe someone would rob an 11 year old boy.

    Why should this really surprise anyone..because things like this don’t happen in Wisconsin??…heck their are kids killing other kids for their shoes or jackets!..don’t get me wrong,if public humiliation was acceptable these 2 losers would definately qualify. But they’ll probably get probation,and move on to robbing 7-11s

    Leave Wisconsin alone!!! But seriously, there is enough to steal in Wisconsin without resorting to stealing $20 from an 11 year old. Like how about a pair of $100 tennis shoes some careless kid on a basketball team walked off and left in a gym, in Milwaukee. That would be my cousin and I am sure that whoever took her shoes was happy as hell to find $100 just sitting on some bleachers. You’d think my aunt and uncle would have quit buying her expensive shoes after that, but they have bought her numerous pairs since. Or you could take the stuff people walk off and leave on the city bus, like briefcases or purses with cell phones and pdas and cash in them. But robbing a lemonade stand of $20 bucks, come on!!
