One 14-year-old learned there can occasionally be consequences for stupidity. Watch and smile:

Anti-Trump 14-year-old who hit a cop with a rock thought he was tough, but now he just learned his fate
by Carmine Sabia
Last month anti-Donald Trump protests in New Mexico turned into riots and now one teenager is paying the price for his part.
Marcus Griego, 14, is being charged as an adult for hitting a police sergeant with a rock during the melee, KRQE reported.
“The commander actually witnessed Marcus throw a rock directly and hit the sergeant that was standing next to him,” Albuquerque police spokeswoman Celina Espinoza told KRQE. “My understanding is that Marcus kinda laughed it off and kinda just pretended it wasn’t a big deal.”
It has apparently become something of a “big deal” now. Griego says he “didn’t do anything.” Of course. Because 14-year-olds are so inherently truthful.
In the 70s, what would have happened with a kid who threw a rock at me at a riotous scene? Frankly, I would have kicked his ass, opened up some cuts, pitched him into the back of my unit, laughed as he hit the opposite door with his head, taken him home.
His parents would have finished the job.

And the last sentence is what is wrong with this country. I too would have had my ass beaten if my parents learned I had thrown a rock at a cop. Today, we have people saying how horrible it is to punish this kid, and see nothing wrong with what this punk did. They will blame the cops or even Trump for his behavior, and lay no wrongdoing on the kid himself. This kid is nothing but a future radical liberal in the making.
That is precisely correct. But first, now, we’d have to even find his parents and likely there would be no discipline in the home because he would have no father present.
And therein lies the rub for the past generations since the 60s. No fathers in the family.

Oopsie… Time to pay the piper there boy…
