A bunch of idiot teenagers robbed a Dick's of thousands of dollars of merchandise right before their championship football game, were then arrested, and of course were beat bad in the game. Crazy concept but it turns out you can't do stupid **** everywhere.

The sheriff is hilarious too. He rolls out a gigantic receipt of what they stole at a press conference and rubbed the team loss in their face. We need more of this guy!

Adding tweet for easier press conference view.

NEW: 8 teens from Philadelphia arrested in Florida after stealing thousands of dollars of merchandise from a Dick's Sporting Goods.

The teens were in town for a youth football tournament and thought they could get away with the crime.

Shaming people that feel no shame.

But still, Im all for it.

They might get away with that crap in Philly, but not in Florida.

Hopefully they all learned a hard lesson at a young age that will put them on a better path in life.

Youths, am I right?

Future astronauts right there.

News like this is constant.

its all so fatiguing

If their coach tried to get them out of trouble instead of backing the police they won't learn a damn thing.

This stuff is why even supermarkets can't stay open in West Philadelphia. They then ride the train out to the suburbs to keep up their theft and ride the train back with no consequence. If anyone ever wants to install a train from a leftist city to your small town - say no!

The usual suspects

"Due to being detained, they were unable to play in their championship game later that day, where they lost to the Cocoa Tigers, 26-6, per police."

"The suspects are facing charges of retail theft over $750 and conspiracy to commit retail theft, which are both felonies, per police. They will have to return to Florida from Pennsylvania to face the charges against them."


Well if he did try to get them off, their coach was a miserable failure. They were detained and missed their once in a lifetime game and their team lost because of their stupidity. They were humiliated on a national stage. They also have to go back to Florida at their expense and face felony charges.

It's not out of the realm of possiblity that this stings badly enough that they won't want to experience anything like it again. Learning that bad actions have bad consequences will be a valuable lesson to them all. Hopefully they are smart enough to learn it.

From another article

"Judd said that when the teenagers were arrested at the store, their football coach raced to the scene to try and convince officers not to take them into custody. "

Sounds like Austin used to be during the state track meet. A nearby mall finally shut down during the week, due to rampant theft. The mall was, of course, accused of being racist.

How in the world did they know to watch that group of young scholars?!

Stolen Dick's stuff. At first I thought it was about the dildo rally at tu.

Christmas just won't be the same at the Delaware Valley Mensa chapter.

He has quite a following. He loves holding a press conference to ridicule criminals.

"none of the teens had prior convictions" yeah that probably says more about Philly than their criminal history

Yeah, don't break the law if you're in Florida

Yes, it was Highland. It was black owned at the time.

Would be interested in seeing if the county follows through with prosecution since they're from out of state.

Because Pennsylvania is probably like most states and doesn't "convict" juveniles

What kind of a football team from Philly would need to play a football "championship" in Florida?
