According to an incident report sent to Yahoo Lifestyle by the Newton County Sheriff’s Office, officers “responded to what first appeared to be a fight” after overhearing a “loud crowd gathering.” The sheriff’s office spokesperson also sent a press release to Yahoo Lifestyle: “Initially, [deputies] thought it was a fight but quickly determined it was theft of snacks from the vending machine. Three juvenile students were charged as a result.” Those charged are a 14-year-old student (theft by taking and disorderly conduct), another 14-year-old (theft by taking), and a 15-year-old (disruption of a public school, obstruction, theft by taking, and disorderly conduct). “I’m very concerned for his future,” Asah’s mother, LaToya Glenn, told CBS46. “I knew instantly this is just wrong.” Her son has a rib injury, scraped his knees, and received a three-day suspension. She tells the news station that Asah was charged with theft and disorderly conduct.

In addition to possible legal charges, students involved in the theft will be disciplined for violating the student code of conduct.

According to Wallace, her 15-year-old son, Keyerrius Reed, was holding an old Skittles wrapper at the scene, which was unrelated to the theft. “He choked me, then he let me go and choked me again.

Adults have discovered the vending jokey that fills the machine left it open like an idiot. Do we A: take the candy and snacks out and call the company to fix it OR B: trust the children to be little angles and not take stuff from the open vending machine... but place some police near by to "handle" anyone that tries.

When I was a kid in High School there was this coin pay phone. It was the older style with the 3 coin slots. Someone figured out that if you slid a plastic strip into the dime slot you could put pennies into the nickel slot and it would register as a dime. That is why now of you find a pay phone it only has one coin slot. No more cheating. LOL "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
No , the nigga knew exactly what was going on: an ass-whipping for being a goddamned THIEF. "Asah" should have been beat to death because the little nigga didn't learn anything from just being tossed around a little bit, the pain wasn't great enough to motivate him to change his attitude. “With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group." I'm guessing there is more to it than "cops just show up and start beating". There is something in the dindu genetic code that prevents reasonable behavior when challenged. And boy, are they ever challenged. :)
“I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs
