3 teens arrested in robbery of woman in Delray Beach

Three teenagers allegedly robbed a woman at gunpoint before fleeing in a stolen car for a 5-mile chase in which they drove through a closed railroad gate, crashed into another car and then led police on foot ...

[Realist]

When are we going to initiate the "No use to society death penalty"? If they are doing armed robberies at this age, there will be many more victims after the juvenile system slaps their wrists.

[Jables]

Of course.

But that's what we get when we give power to bleeding heart liberals. They want to pretend that every life has equivalent worth, no matter what its owner is doing with it.

[steve]

oh shut up with your incessant liberal crap already. its sickening.geeze louise. is there nothing else you can think of but that?
these kids are monsters and their parents need to be held responsible for them. once you start to lock up parents, their kids will get the message. if they have the nerve to have these kids they should take full responsibility for them and do not turn them lose on the rest of us.

why is it that the tv news broadcast pictures and names of the three involved and the sun sentinel omits that info?

Police dogs, aided by an infrared imaging system mounted on a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office helicopter, quickly sniffed out the boys, who were arrested on felony robbery, car theft and resisting arrest charges, police said.

One of the teens, who struggled with police in the brush, suffered dog bites before a Boynton Beach officer stunned him with a Taser, according to a report. He was taken to Bethesda Memorial Hospital, where he was treated and released.

The chase began about 5 p.m. Thursday after Joel Thomas and Courtney Zeigler, both 16, brandished pistols at a 47-year-old woman outside her home in the 1400 block of Northwest Second Avenue in Delray Beach. The pair stole about $110 from her, according to their arrest affidavits.

After the robbery, Thomas and Zeigler darted to a stolen Dodge Intrepid, where Roderick Taylor, 14, was posted as a lookout, Taylor later told investigators.

Delray Beach Detectives Troy Baer and Mike DeBree were driving to the victim's house when they spotted the Dodge sedan stopped in a turn lane at Lake Ida Road and Swinton Avenue, Baer wrote in his report. They made a U-turn.

Seeing the approaching police car, the getaway driver sped off, crashing through the lowered guardrail of a railroad crossing arm and passing in front of an oncoming train.

The detectives tailed the suspects as they roared north up Congress Avenue toward suburban Boynton Beach. When they reached Congress and Golf Road, the teenagers crashed into another car and jumped out. They sprinted toward the Whalers Cove apartment complex and jumped a fence, with Baer and DeBree close behind them.

After his capture, Taylor, a seventh-grader at Tradewinds Middle School, told detectives he and the others had driven down to Delray Beach to hit a "lick," street slang for committing a robbery.

The boys were taken to the Palm Beach County Juvenile Assessment Center.

They were nice young boys that made a mistake and should be given another chance just like the white Boca girl who dealt hard drugs to her friends.

[Steve in Wellington]

Nice kids just had a bad upbringing - they'll be out on the streets to do it right next time

[bobby-g]

They should be tried as adults but they won't. They will be released to pillage once again. Society needs to complete the study on what benefit cockroaches provide, other than eating dirt. Thanks.

dont confuse someone dealing drugs to someone committing a forcible felony with a firearm such as armed robbery.

Its not the same category. Not even close.

[IT TAKES A VILLAGE IDIOT]

lock 'em up, throw away the key - who's gonna miss these miscreants anyway?
better yet - eliminate them from the earth forever. garbage should be removed.

Easy bet, the Palm Beach Post had pics of the little darlings

[Thank goodness for PBSO]

Sounds like the Keystone Cops of Delray and Boynton would have lost the bad guys once again if not for the PBSO. Thank goodness we have some true law enforcement professionals in green. Way to go boys!!!

That is why everyone has cancelled the Sun Slantinel. They pick and choose which stories to report. Omit too many bad black stories.
We will find out anyway on TV news local and cable and internet so print it.

These kids deserve to be locked up for good. I don't care if the punk was in 7th grade. Black Felons in 2007 were starting at age 14 at Dunbar Village. It is probably age 12 now. FELON. ADULT PREMEDITATED CRIMES THEY ARE COMMITTING. Big chase. Didn't surrender easily. High Speed pursuit. They are Adult Felons!

LOSE THE KEY.

They will never amount to anything anyway. Just 100 Felonies by age 21. LOCK THEIR PRISON MAGNET tails up!

[Adult Crimes]

ADULT COURT.

Premeditated Adult Crimes they are planning and committing carrying guns etc at age 14!

STRIKE THEM OUT!
Lifetime in Prison

[Where is Black Daddy]

In prison or on the run from the law-black daddy fugitive!

I think every black male in US starting at age 10, sorry birth should have DNA taken since they are such magnets to the criminal justice system nationwide and deadbeat daddies for CHILD SUPPORT!

read the blog i posted from the palm beach post. it names the names and ages and if you watched the news they had all of their pictures. yes, they are all african americans.

[2nd OPI]

Lock them up, throw away the key. We will be rid of them.

In fact, better yet, let's trade body for body. All those that commit crimes,send them to IRAQ to face reality and send our military home. One for one right? If these criminals make it out alive, which we know they won't, then they deserve to walk the streets.

If we lose the criminal, oh well, they didn't produce anything positive to society anyway. However, if we lose one of our military-then we lose a lot.

Any comments???

Too bad PBSO showed up 10 minutes later and two were already caught by the time they got there.

[try them as adults]

commit an adult crime...do adult time.

No more automatice releases when they turn 21.
