DA: Prank Robbery "A Dangerous Game"
- Posted By: Boris: Telling people to go to the floor is a bright red flag indicating a well known precursor activity to a robbery. Keeping your hands in your pockets while doing this is an implied threat of a weapon ready to be used to further this activity. Those kids put their own lives in dire risk, and potentially the lives of others who might have been injured if someone had decided their life was in danger and had drawn their weapon and engaged them. I'm not sure that putting them in jail would accomplish much but spend some time working at the morgue handling gunshot victims might be appropriate.
- Posted By: Dan: Just kidding again. I love the jersey shore!!!
- Posted By: : I don't understand why some of my posts get nixed, but KAKE allows someone to slander the president... wow...
- Posted By: : Yep... and you are the prime example of why kids today are as dumb as a sack of hammers....
- Posted By: Flynt: I heard that Anonymous. (LOL)
- Posted By: why: that would have been good less stupied people on the streets
- Posted By: Anon: Why did the police just send them home without booking them? Favor to the DA's perhaps?
- Posted By: Garth: Yes but something like it could have happened.
- Posted By: frank: Not a thing.
- Posted By: I VOTE: I know we don't have a very good President. We have a GREAT President!
- Posted By: Wow: Gee... Sorry morons. I forgot to bring my pretend gun today.
- Posted By: mom2: Well their you have it! A perfect example of what happens to children these days because you cant spank your kids these days without getting in trouble and going to jail,kids now days are unruly, run the sreets,bully kids untill they push kids to commit sucide,shoot their parents and other people,these kids are very much out of control!! And its not going to get any better untill these children get parents and authority taking control anf whipping some butts! No wonfer our prisons are so overcrowded....

- Posted By: : Most businesses? Dillon's, most City buildings, McDonald's, Menard's ........Which few do not allow conceal and carry?
- Posted By: : mmm, sorry, but state law overrides the sign on the front door of the business.
- Posted By: Skeptic: Amen!
- Posted By: Dan: I've seen better acting than that on Jersey Shore. Just kidding.. I've never watched Jersey Shore. But that video is obviously fake.
- Posted By: Dan: England doesn't have concealed carry. This would be a stupid thing to realize AFTER someone has double tapped you in the chest!
- Posted By: : We don't have a very good president.
- Posted By: : Wierd.
- Posted By: : Whats wrong with wanting to be the President?
- Posted By: : You're just itching to shoot someone no matter what excuse you come up with..Scary!
- Posted By: concerned: The Judge better throw the book at them for real, no joke/prank. These brats and their whiney parents need to wake up before there are more inocent people being hurt or killed by these little monsters they created by or they are just being kids every time they do something.
- Posted By: : As I remember Btk was such a good christian too!It has nothing to do with believing in god or not. Scumbags are scumbags either way.
- Posted By: : So the president is a gangster because he is black? Racist! We have a very good president.
- Posted By: : Then the conceal carry person would have been breaking the law, too. Considering most businesses, even Subway, have no gun signs on their doors. Just sayin... I think the whole idea of passing a CC law and then allowing everyone to opt out of it is pretty stupid.
- Posted By: : No.... it will be...
Judge: I sentence all of you 10 years in a federal pokey...
Idiot Kids: sobbing... peeing pants....
Judge: JUST KIDDING!
- Posted By: : ??
- Posted By: : Stupider? .... I think you just answered your own question.....
- Posted By: : if "god" had anything to do with it, he would have stopped it before it happened.
- Posted By: : and you would probably like to administer it...
- Posted By: : I don't know that kids are "stupider"...teenagers (including myself many years ago...driving on the sidewalks of Eastgate comes to mind) have always done stupid stuff. I think what happens is that the connection between consequences and actions is missed. You don't see "consequences" on utube, on television programs that promote doing stupid things just to get a laugh, it doesn't even happen on a lot of regular television shows, or if it does, the consequences are gone by the next week's episode. There isn't anything to counter what they see as "cool". So many bad things could have happend in this situation...the concealed weapons or off duty police officer aspect has been addressed by a number of posters, but a customer could have been frightened enough to have had a heart attack or other health issues, law enforcment responding could have had an accident, the young people themselves could have either been in, or caused and accident as they "escaped". I'm not sure what conversations went on in the homes of these kids after this incident, but I think it is a converstation that should be repeated in other homes, in schools, in churches, anywhere young people are. I'm not sure what the key is to helping them understand there are consequences, some easy to foresee, and some not. But I'm pretty sure communication is at least a start.
- Posted By: : Who's laughing now? LMAO!!! I AM! LMAO!
- Posted By: h: Not sure I understand the connection you are trying to make. The president was duly elected to the office and not a gang member or a rapper. I assume this is a joke not really funny though.
- Posted By: WilmaG: What ever happen to playing baseball after school, now every kid wants to be a gangster like he's favorite rapper or like the President.
- Posted By: annie: Prank? I thought putting TP in a tree is a prank. Robbery is a crime.What sort of LEO can't tell the difference?
- Posted By: Wayne: This could have happened. http://youtu.be/2vVhBNV6FPM
- Posted By: Tim: Man is this potentially disaterous. What if a conceal carry customer happened to be in the Subway and clocked one of these "pranksters"?
- Posted By: Cowboy: I just wached it. Only a fool would try a stunt like that. Lock em up!
- Posted By: Nadine in Nevada: Is it my imagination or are kids getting stupider? Someone tries that here and they are likely to be staring down the barrel of a pistol.
- Posted By: charles: this is what happens when proper conduct, manners, and God are removed from education...kids with no respect for anyone..put them in jail
- Posted By: mike: I have a chl and if this had happened while I was in the shop with my famliy, there is a very good chance I would have pulled my fire arm and shot if they gave an indication they had a weapon. And I would be well within my rights to do so.
- Posted By: WilliamPenn: You hold up a restaurant I'm in, you're goin' out in a body bag. Ain't no joke.
- Posted By: Steve1234: Then he'll have time to come up with new bits while sitting in jail. Maybe "Jailhouse Olympics." Wonder what sort of brilliant ideas he'll get there?
The second these twerps ordered people to "get down on the floor," they signed their jail sentence, imho -- prank or not.
- Posted By: freecheese: They SHOULD have been ARRESTED. What is their next "prank" going to be ? A joke ? In this case, I would say the POLICE ARE THE JOKE !
- Posted By: Vincent: These boys deserve a castor oil enema.
- Posted By: Rick: Good thing no Concealed carry holders, or possible undercover or off-duty police were there, they could be 3 very dead 'children'
- Posted By: : Maybe your child needs a gun under the counter. Problem solved.
- Posted By: Gary: Sounds like attempted kidnapping.
- Posted By: pmod: A blessing???!!! That that their victims could not defend themselves had these punks actually been armed. Had this "prank" caused the death of some elderly customer (heart attack) I wonder if then you would be so thankful.
- Posted By: william: I would like to see the follow up story; Judge sentences teens to 10 years in prison, as a laugh!
- Posted By: Mackey: They must be related to the local cops or somebody would have been charged. They are getting no favor in covering it up. Next time somebody may shoot them and they will deserve it.
- Posted By: J: At least two of the teenagers in the story are of school age. The other teenagers mentioned in the story might be. Why are they in a Subway at 11 am on a Monday in the middle of May?
- Posted By: : I allmost got one in my bag
- Posted By: Tom: Most likely, John. I legally carry also. There would have been alot to clean up if this were to happen here in SW Florida. We're all packing down here.
- Posted By: Stephen: This was originally started by a guy who had a youtube channel where he conducted "Urban Olympics". This was one of the pranks.
- Posted By: DarkXid: The police should round them up and they should go to prison, as you know, a prank. Maybe a couple of years in a PMITA Prison would help them gain an appropriate sense of humor.
- Posted By: John: These kids should be put in the juvenile justice system for a year to learn some real skills.
- Posted By: kid: Hey give me some credit not every kid is this stupid
- Posted By: Greg: A thug is a thug. That "child" is a criminal and this wasn't a prank. It was cruel, people could have died, and worst of all, the concealed carry permit holder could have shot this garbage protecting himself and others and faced nightmares/trials and being accused as a racist and faced criminal charges that he violated their rights. All due to their stupidity...in a year or two they'll make good organ donors, just hope no innocent person suffers at their hands till that time.
- Posted By: : your not the only one
- Posted By: Greg: Excuse me? "It's a good thing some CHARACTER with a concealed carry gun wasn't there?" It was a real robbery, people were afraid for their lives due to these thug-wanna-be's. A concealed carrier would not get "all shook up adn opening fire"...they'd be protecting thier life and the criminal should always lose in that battle.
If you want to remain a sheep, enjoy your victimhood...but don't knock someone who is protecting his family and society as a "character".
- Posted By: thestraightpoop: It's a blessing the subway manager didn't have a gun behind the counter or this prank could have been deadly
- Posted By: Galt: Exactly my first thought.
- Posted By: John: Yes, it was unacceptable. That's why they weren't arrested. That'll teach 'em!
- Posted By: Tom: If this were to happen here in SW Florida, They would have been shot on site.
- Posted By: John Henry Eden.: That's a dangerous"prank",I legally carry a firearm and my response to this "prank" would be to defend myself and others from a robbery with deadly force.I wonder,is this report using the MSM code word"teenagers" to cover up the race of the attempted robbers?
- Posted By: MJ: I would have pulled by concealed carry and shot them. I have never heard of anything so stupid!
- Posted By: 2nd Amendment: What if someone had been armed in the store and decided they didn't want to be robbed today?
Headline: Three Teens Shot during Robbery "Prank"
- Posted By: Adam Siemiginowski: This also happened in a New York movie theatre on 60th and 3rd a few months ago. I was seeing 'The Iron Lady' and 5 min before the end of the movie a High School kid walks in, claps three times, and says 'Everybody get down.' Everyone did, for 5 min, until we evacuated through the Emergency Exit. The police showed up 15 min later, after 911 calls about a possible hostage situation. I went outside and saw 6 young guys walking by laughing and seeming to know what hat happened. Nothing ever resulted in this, to my knowledge.
- Posted By: Nielo: Whenever people find out that my wife and I homeschool they often ask “Aren’t you worried about socializing your children?” To which we now reply “Yes, we are worried about socializing are children – which is EXACTLY WHY we choose to home school!” As a former teacher at a government High School in Watts (in South Central LA) - I am sad to say that these kids are just the tip of the iceberg. What a sad future for America! Also, I bet their parents took them out to dinner and frozen yogurt later that night to help them get over the terrible ordeal they just went through.
- Posted By: Sammie Jo: Prank my aunt tilly! Arrest them, tell them it's just a prank, one that will last for years.
- Posted By: Jim in PA: Unbelievable. Many people I know would have shot them dead on the spot. Great game these rejects are playing. What's next, running out into traffic??? Lets see some pictures of these losers, I don't care if they under 18, lets have some public shame here...
- Posted By: doublethinknot.com: If they were "youths" it was probably a legitimate attempt. If they were "non-youths", well only white kids would be this naive, so yes in that case it could be a prank. If "youths" were involved, it is likely a legitimate robbery attempt. When the first two got stage fright and ran, the last "youth" had to bail out, as well. Note that the article is a bit unclear as to the number of "pranksters" involved. it is not clear if the two teens who ran first were involved ( I am assuming they were). If they weren't involved, then according to this report, one "youth" or teen didn't leave the restaurant.
- Posted By: Roman: This is a direct emulation of this episode of "Balls of Steal in the UK. These morons should be charged with aggravated Robbery, tried as adults and thrown in a real prison for a few decades.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5U1DlU-7g0
- Posted By: Wally: Morons. As Fred used to call them "young dumbies"!
- Posted By: Billy Bob: From this story it seems these stupid kids simulated a robbery, and were lucky enough not to have held up someone who was going armed. Sounds like a good case for the Dept. of Children Services to remove these kids from their home because their parents have absolutely failed in raising them.
- Posted By: GrayStroke: This is what happens when you raise "Time Out" brats with no consequences.We now have 3 generations of spoiled self-indulgent sociopaths running around voting for the 'ONE" yeah we are doing just fine.
- Posted By: ghostsouls: This was not a prank, it was a practice run...... FIA's Future Inmates of America!
- Posted By: Bart: Just further proof that, on average, kids really ARE stupid!
- Posted By: Jimbo96: If they tried that with someone who felt a fear of great bodily harm or death and was lawfully carrying a firearm that person would have been justified in shooting these little miscreants...too bad that didn't happen, maybe all the others would learn to not be so stupid...
- Posted By: : ... and probably a relative of a city official. They should have least hauled their rears down to jail and make their parents bail them out. This could have caused their deaths. What stupidity.
- Posted By: Steven: Put the little scumbags in jail..... just as a prank, of course.
- Posted By: Dave: Seems that the optimum thing to do is to throw their sorry butts in jail, let them be the new playthings and then release them and tell them it was just a prank.
- Posted By: sky: This is from the TV show "balls of steel". Acgreat show btw.
- Posted By: Justin: That's a good way to get shot.
- Posted By: Daisy: I hope Subway and everyone that was terrified into submitting to these sociopaths sues the families of these little thugs from from here to Kingdom come and back again.
- Posted By: Mapache15: If I were carrying my weapon and saw an 'armed' robbery and shot them, how much of prank would it be. If a responding police officer responded and shot them dead their parents would be on TV saying what a good boy he was and why couldn't the police see they were just pranking!
Idiots.
- Posted By: Daisy: Sounds like the kind of prank psychopaths would play. Prosecute them.
- Posted By: Chuck: TC: Good points. I'm a permit holder as well. If my family is there, job one is to get them to safety. If the gunman is busy shooting unarmed people and I can use that to help my family escape, so be it. The unarmed should have been better prepared. If I'm alone, then I'm with you. Try to get to safety and call 911. (Isn't that what the anti-gun folks want?) If they point a gun AT me then all bets are off, and I go active.
Note to those that CHOOSE to not carry and all the anti-gun folks. Assume you are on your own and be prepared to live with your choices.
- Posted By: Roger: You're a moron if you think someone has to commit a crime to get sued. Here's an example even you can understand.... OJ was found not quity in criminal court, then lost the civil case.
- Posted By: Richard: The people who were pranked, the people who they ordered to the floor under what I imagine was the pretense that there were guns in their pockets, need to--say it with me--"lawyer-up".
Those people have suits. This is a cash-money moment for those people, trust me--and Subway too, if you would believe it. As long as these kids come from money, that it.
Also, whether or not they shot these people, they have committed battery. Trust me, that is a crime. No doubt about it.
These kids are going down, and some people are going to make a little money.
- Posted By: Crosscut: These losers are so lucky no one was packing and willing to use it. These savages would not be missed.
- Posted By: NotSurprised: I believe this is a game created by Remi Galliard called "skittles" or something like that. Can't be certain on that actual named but I have heard of people doing it before.
- Posted By: : Oh man I HATE the ICP
- Posted By: : I don't think SUBWAY allows guns.
- Posted By: I don't THINK so!: That wouldn't have been funny at all!
Because Subway doesn't HAVE fries.
- Posted By: : the real problem with the conduct of these teenagers is that it's not surprising; ludicrous, but not surprising.
- Posted By: : Why don't we put them in State Freaking Prison for about five years each, "as a prank"?
- Posted By: reality: Since when is teenager the same as innocent of criminal actions?? Most killers got their practice and experience while young teenagers or younger and only got caught as adults. Wake up, teenagers kill just as often as adults and dead is dead, no matter what the age of the criminal !!
- Posted By: american: They're lucky no one was carrying a concealed weapon. Now THAT'S self defense and "fearing for your life."
- Posted By: CoCoJo: Right
- Posted By: CoCoJo: This was Practice. Prosecute Them.
- Posted By: Chicago Nick: They would have been shot dead were I in that Subway, as I don't anywhere nowadays without legal heat and I'm itching to use it on some Trayvon Trailer park vermin or anyone else who steps in my orbit with violence on their minds. They're lucky the store manager didn't shoot em.
- Posted By: Robert: Maybe, till they start shooting innocent people, and if there's a real chance to stop ift prior to that, so be it.
- Posted By: Concerned: Robbers order me to the floor....I am under the assumption they may kill me! I would have opened fire! I would have wiped out their seed from future victims of their poor gene pool! I would have NO problem stating to a D.A. that I feared for my life!
- Posted By: Rick: One of these dudes, if not all, is he son(s) of the Chief of Police, a local judge, local lawyer or some other official. That is a very dangerous game because someone working there had every right to shoot them. In a CHL state the chances of making it out the door goes way down.
- Posted By: Joshua: Just because the motive was a "prank", their foolhardy behavior merits being tried as attempted robbery.
There's no reason to give real thieves that bungle a job precedence and a legal argument. Stupidity is no legal excuse.
- Posted By: Treb: Is this any different than characters using fake guns during a robbery? (Except that these kids supposedly didn't follow through)
- Posted By: : Consider you have your 5 year old eating lunch with you... Exactly how much risk to your child should you be forced to endure before using deadly force to eliminate that threat? Should you Wait until you lose more advantage? A genuine question.
- Posted By: : No kidding...then wy can't you tell FIRE in a theatre...it isn't a danger unless people are scared into action.
- Posted By: Treb: That's what I thought, dry run
- Posted By: TC: This is a good case study for concealed carry holder. What would you do? CCL's have committed thenselves to a higher standard of action and preparedness and need to think about situations like this. Think about the recent shooting at the IHop in Nevada or the classic case of the Luby's in Texas. Depending on where I am sitting, I think I move towards the restroom hallway as soon as people start getting out of their booths to lie down as ordered and dont stop no matter what the gunman says (he is a gunman unitl proven otherwise - we still do not know if they actually had guns in their jackets). I call 911 from the locked restroom and explain the situation. But then I have a decision to make - what if they shoot someone while I am waiting in the restroom like the 911 operator tells me? How close are the cops - what will their response time be? That murder is something I might can prevent. I have received training such that I am not going to shoot up the place. I think I would draw my weapon, sneak to the corner of the hallway (most Subways have the same layout) lean out with my weapon aimed at the gunman and announce that the cops are on the way and he needs to show his hands. If he runs - fine. If he makes any menancing moves, and I am sure of the background, I am putting two bullets in his chest. I will probably have nightmares for years and legal troubles, but that is the way it is, that is what I have committed to as a CCL holder.
- Posted By: : Just how many threats or guns go off with conceal weapons people vs thugs and criminals. I'd be more worried about a criminal than a CW person
- Posted By: anonymous: The same folks making excuses on this thread for these punks, are the same idiots screaming for justice for Tre'Von... You better be sure of who you are going to bully or you may find yourself on a slab. Criminal charges should be filed, and civil lawsuits should follow. Just some good clean fun.
- Posted By: Sean Patriot: They would have have their brains scattered all over Subway had they tried that BS in Texas.
- Posted By: Max17: Lock 'em up for a few days. Just as a joke, though.
- Posted By: ImNotTrayvon: Punks could easily have been shot and the problem solved.
- Posted By: bob the builder: I think it would have been much funnier if one of the employees had a CC permit and started shooting.
Justice would have been served, with a tasty side of fries.
Arrest, Prosecute, Try, and make them serve the max sentence.

So the students were white, eh? :-)
- Posted By: Rev Mortici: I blame insane clown posse.
- Posted By: Mother-n-law of Manager: How dare this be called a prank. A prank is not defined by hard working individuals fearing for their life. Each and everyone of these "Teen Pranksters" should be prosecuted. I am furious, how dare them do this to my child.
- Posted By: : I don't have any idea what a snipe is but I don't think killing one will slove any thing.
- Posted By: Zack: Asian countries have a good idea, public caining then the whole summer in public service Hard labor 5 days a week. I think in this case jail would do more harm than good.
- Posted By: TC: These losers have to be prosecuted. What if someone had an heart condition and this "prank" triggered a heart attack? Some young kids might get nightmares if they have to suffer through this prank. These losers are lucky someone didn't jump them in the Subway and beat the soup out of them. Maybe they need something like that so they will think twice about doing something so stupid.
- Posted By: Zack: You make this sound like a bad thing?

- Posted By: You: People that call it a clip learned everything they know about firearms from tv and movies.
- Posted By: : I miss those days. Had way to much fun with snipe hunting. Sneaky little buggers.
- Posted By: reality: Sounds like the "investigator" needs remedial training on how to identify criminals and make arrests on these teen criminals. Next time it will be for real if all you do is release them to their parents -- parents must be contributors to the WPD??
- Posted By: reality: Yes, I agree with you all the way !!! Decent people are being held hostage by idiots, thugs and bleeding heart liberals who don't want to be held accountable for their or their kids actions.
- Posted By: reality: Ir is possible to literally scare someone to death, someone with heart problems could easily have had a heart attack and died right there..... if these idiot teens act like armed thugs/robbers/criminals they deserve to be treated like armed criminals -- not just stupid teens playing a prank. It is time for people to wake up and make parents and their spawn responsible and held accountable and punished for their actions...

- Posted By: double check: Last time i checked it is a crime, Statute 21-3419: Criminal threat. (a) A criminal threat is any threat to (1) Commit violence communicated with intent to terrorize another, or to cause the evacuation, lock down or disruption in regular, ongoing activities of any building, place of assembly or facility of transportation, or in reckless disregard of the risk of causing such terror or evacuation, lock down or disruption in regular, ongoing activities; So in other words, SCARE someone making them believe they have a gun

- Posted By: mom: Two kids stood outside while one kid went inside and yelled get down several times. He had his hand in his shirt indicating he had a gun. Sounds like a crime to me
- Posted By: not funny: These kids need to be held accountable for their actions. Community service and probation. When police officers respond to calls that a robbery is in progress, they have to take it seriously. Prank or not, this could have had a different outcome and their so called prank wouldn't have been funny
- Posted By: : No Jay they don't seem to have any common sense like you, they sound more like a democrats.
- Posted By: Barber: 'Simulating' an armed robbery is a crime, they should be prosecuted.
- Posted By: : Please post the names a pictures of these teens so we can all recognize them in the future and pull our own pranks on them.
- Posted By: : if you act like it then i will assume it is real every time. dead people assume it is fake until proven real.
- Posted By: : why would i let someone threaten my life? they made everyone believe they had a weapon. i will take that as a threat any day and take appropriate action.
- Posted By: : don't go and order people to the ground and threaten me and you won't have anything to worry about.
- Posted By: old: nice
- Posted By: : You sound a bit trigger happy and like someone who is looking for a chance and an excuse to shoot somebody. People like you do scare me.
- Posted By: : It could have been a prank this time and next time one of them could have been shot pulling the prank. They need to consider the consequences of doing this. They could have caused someone a heart attack or mentally damaged a young child or someone could have hurt them in an attempt to stop them. I would love to pull a prank on these teens and see how much they beg to make it stop. It's only a prank right? I do hope that as they sit in court the keep asking themselves if it's real or if it's a prank and they realize that it's not while they spend some time in jail.
- Posted By: Brian: Stupid beyond belief. Any CCH or off duty LEO would have been justified in defending theirself or others in immediate danger of death or disfigurement.
- Posted By: lelu: Maybe they where testing the waters for a real stick up.
- Posted By: concerned: I am so tired of kids getting a pass on bad behavor. The parents aren't doing their jobs. So how about charging the parents and the kids with a heafty fine. How about 500K each to be given to the people they threatened.
- Posted By: Me: Why must people call a magazine a clip? I know it's dumb to get so worked up over something so little. BUT COME ON PEOPLE!
- Posted By: : Last I checked, it's not a crime to scare someone. Not sure how you'd sue just on that. An emotional distress claim for this is going to be uber sketchy. Good luck w/that.
The big risk is these kids getting shot by someone. They imply they have a gun. Someone in the restaurant could have a real one, shoot them and have a very real self defense claim since everyone in the restaurant believed they had a gun.
- Posted By: H2: They made everyone believe they had something bynkeepingntheir hands in their pockets and ordered everyone to the ground and began counting. I take that as a threat, no matter how severe. Point is, innocent people came in to have lunch, not to bullied by some punks. What would you do, wait and call their bluff ? No thanks.
- Posted By: Anon: Yea, wait until they pull our a weapon and shoot someone first!
- Posted By: : If I was one of these teens Father, Jail would seem like fun compared to what I would have in store for them when they got home!!!
- Posted By: : My guess is that you are just trying to get noticed with your comment. Right?
- Posted By: jay coz®: No, it they are this stupid the will surely vote Republican.
- Posted By: Howard: The concealed carry people DON'T shoot up the places because they probably never need the gun that makes them feel so secure. And the carriers never mention what they would do if the bad guys have the drop on everyone. Gonna go for your trusty six-shooter and have an old west shootout then? I doubt it. You'd just sit there and obey the bad guys' commands like everyone else. Or at least I would hope to hell that's what you would do.
- Posted By: Howard: And nailed who knows how many other people as you "emptied the clip". I hope you're truly not a card-carrying concealed weapon carrier. You're the type that gives me almost as much concern as the bad guys.
- Posted By: Gunner: If they had been shot the parents would be all over it with lawsuits claiming they were just "playing". These kids will be trouble in the future. Their parents are probably not much better. Kids mirror their parents to some extent.
- Posted By: Anon: This went far beyond a prank. They definitely should be punished. Stupid is putting it mildly!
- Posted By: anon: If I was a customer, I would of been scared, really scared. I hope the customers can find a lawyer and sue these kids for scaring a year of life out of me. Then they could be working off the debt at mc dees for a long time. That would teach them a real lesson in life.
- Posted By: H2: You know, the more I sit here thinking about this I realized that these kids went for the purpose of seeing if they could pull this off and to see if people listen to them, taking them seriously. They had a practice run. They need punishment or they will be back.
- Posted By: Really?: Unlike the good old GOP, that would have killed some teenagers.
- Posted By: H2: Exactly!
- Posted By: Depose King Hussein: Agree 100%; this idiots have absolutely NO common sense.Will probably vote as democrats when they are old enough.

- Posted By: Elizabeth: I fail to see the humor in the so-called prank. Let's hope that they've learned something from this.
- Posted By: Shooter: Idiots! If you act like a robber, and you fake having a gun in your pocker, you ARE as much a threat as a real robber. If that gets you shot dead, you deserved it. These little twits should be cleaning garbage on the side of Wichita streets for the entire summer. Maybe that would be a good prank to pull on them.
- Posted By: : would have been a perfect chance to exercise my right to protect myself and citizens... no questions asked just would have emptied the clip from my .45 into both.
- Posted By: smokegrindsleep: Must suck being the anti-conceal carry type. Just because a place is robbed and one happens to have a concealed carry doesn't mean the place is getting shot up. Everybody acts like a bunch of ccl holders shoot up places all the time.
Kids just being kids I did far worse when I was younger.
- Posted By: Feark20: Jail, jail, and jail... What would happen if this 37 year old man pulled a prank like that?? I would be in jail..
- Posted By: Jay: There are 9549 CCH in Sedgwick county according to the AG web

- Posted By: Mouse Piece: Need to bring back Snipe hunting.
- Posted By: Will: They need to be punished one way or the other, but probably not locked up. It's a good thing some character with a concealed-carry gun wasn't in there at the time. I could see that having pretty dire results for them. Despite all the hype about training, etc. I could see some gun carrier getting all shook up and opening fire.
- Posted By: stupid: They should be locked up anyway to teach them a lesson not to be dumb!!!!
- Posted By: Andi: As a community prank, lets put them in jail for one whole school day.
- Posted By: Tamy: In this day and age these students need to be taught a lesson. Maybe a scare by a Judge not necessarily jail time but make them do community service. Hopefully this will teach them a lesson that they don't let a life of crime really happen. What would have happened if a police officer would've been in the restaraunt one of them could have been shot or hurt really badly all because of a prank.
- Posted By: Anon: How many CCL holders are out there?! They could have been killed! Parent you better punish these kids and teach em a lesson; to save their lives!
- Posted By: : Send them to stupid jail.
- Posted By: H2: This is no prank, ordering people to the floor, doing a head count. Charge them all with attempted robbery or what have you. If there had been an innocent civilian that has a conceal and carry permit, there would have been problems and these punks would know that this was no joke. This is not a laughing matter and handing them over to their parents won't be enough.
- Posted By: old: To bad nobody in the Subway shop had a permitted gun. They could have taken care of the problem. Two less future crooks.
