More Fun: Kid Throws Ax At Cop

It’s not just Penn kids who are being attacked by gangs of pre-teens. No, out in Plymouth Township — is that the one with the Ikea? — the perpetrators are 8-year-olds and the victims is a police officer. Oh, and the cop was attacked with an ax. Apparently, if we got all the guns off the streets, people would just settle differences with medieval weapons, such as axes, maces, morning stars and possibly catapults.

The 8-year-old who allegedly attacked the cop with an ax ran away with two friends from a school for children from “troubled families.” The kids then stole an ax from the back porch of a home, and somehow got into an altercation with a cop. The cop told the boy to put down the ax, police said, but instead the kid threw the ax at the cop, missing him but hitting the police car. (That car was one day from retirement!)

The Plymouth Township deputy police chief said this: “And even afterwards, they had attitude. They were bad. They got inside a police car. They were spitting at cops.” Ha. Now that we’re not even safe from eight-year-olds, I think I’ll just stay inside from now on. Oh, wait, that’s the same as usual.
