For once: consequences

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.
