From the Associated Press:
Spokane police are looking for three robbers who stole the groceries from an 87-year-old disabled man in a wheelchair and assaulted him after the man had just purchased the food from a store. The man told police the robbers, all males, were 18 to 20 years old. He says the robbers were armed with a hammer and a knife.
Are 18-to-20 year olds too old to abort?

The article's headline ("Robbers Take Food From Man In Wheelchair") and last line ("The robbers were last seen running away with the victim's groceries") would both be funny in an absurdist sort of way, if the whole situation weren't kind of depressing.

Nope, but up to the day before their 18th birthday you can drop them off in Nebraska without being charged with abandonment! After a bunch of people did this with their adult children, they have to rush to change the law.
Surprised it didn't make the ECDAMAAF list

ah, spokane. my home town is nothing but class. robbing a guy of his groceries is easily the most pathetic crime i can think of, when you factor in that the guy was disabled it boggles the mind. but meth is a hell of a drug.

You know David, you're not being very open-minded here. We only have one side to the story. Sure, I have my doubts. But 18 to 20-year-olds don't care about "groceries." They care about drugs and alcohol. Perhaps someone promised them drugs and alcohol for this stunning way of helping an old man die. If he did and they got away with the groceries, you'd be very sorry your remark was they should be aborted.

@4. Are you the new Slog troll? We need a new one since Bailo is alot less interesting post-election.

#5 Post-Election, you continue to obsess about me, the same way you obsess about Sarah Palin.
Because you Democrats don't know what to do now that you've conned everyone into electing you.

Why'd it take three of them? And what would they even need a knife and a hammer for? They sure aren't challenging themselves much.

Damn kids these days! Why, I remember when I was a kid, hanging out on The Ave in the 80s and rolling passed-out drunks for change, we waited until they were passed out to take their money. We didn't fucking beat them, ferchrissakes!
What is this world coming to?

The state should buy a few hundred acres of cheap land in Eastern Washintgon, fence it in, and stock it with unlimited free meth, heroin, sparks, etc. When they catch shit bags like these perpetrators, offer them a free, one way bus ticket to the land. The problem will just take care of itself. There could also be a separate gang banger area with free guns, ammo, and booze, although the state might need to install big shiny rims on the bus that goes there.

Seattle's got Tuba Man killers and Spokane's got old man in a wheelchair robbers...I weep for the future, Ferris Beuller, I really do.

Too bad Nebraska put on age limit on their safe haven law. Otherwise you could just dump them off in Nebraska.

THE STATE WILL ALWAYS TAKE YOUR KIDS IF THEY ARE ABANDONED --- DUH
YOU MIGHT HAVE TO PAY SUPPORT AND BE LABELED AN UNFIT PARENT
JUST WHERE DID YOU ALL THINK ALL THE FOSTER CARE KIDS COME FROM? AUTO ACCIDENTS WITH NO RELATIVES, DUH.

Oh Spokane, full of lying old men, credulous journalists, and kids who are so classless you'd *almost* believe they'd do what the lying old men claim they did.
