I wish when I got mugged the dudes would have reacted like this guy. www.kcci.com/news/22753796/detail.htmlI think if I were one of the guys he attempted to rob I'd consider dropping the charges.  |

Life is a learning process. This guy obviously had a lot of guilty feelings about what he was doing. Guilt is an emotion that let's your soul know you are doing something wrong. He apparently recognized that and became overwhelmed by emotion. This is more the behavior of someone who has just had an epiphany, as opposed to a piece of shit thug. I'm not saying this guy is a good guy, but I don't think (based on his actions) that he is a bad guy. He admitted his mistake, and begged forgiveness before he had to (been caught). For that reason, I'd say forgiveness is justified. If I was the victim, and if allowed, I would also drop the charges. |

The guy had the audacity to put a knife to someone's throat for the purpose of robbing him. It takes some bad wiring and malicious intent to pull that shit, whether you're sorry about it afterward or not. I mean I'm pretty much a grade-A asshole and I'd never even consider doing that to another human. |

There's no doubt that what he did is horribly bad. But the guy broke down crying, returned what he took, and stayed there talking with the people as they waited for the cops to arrive. He could have easily just handed back the stuff and took off running. Or kept the stuff and took of running for that matter. But he apologized and stayed to face the music. There is something to be said about that.

However he clearly has some big fucking issues that are going to require accountability under the law and hopefully some mandatory psychiatric treatment. |

I was just saying if the cops asked me for my opinion on whether to charge him (which they wouldn't), I would say no. |

I don't think the decision about whether to press charges in the case of an assault with a deadly weapon with the intent to commit robbery should be left to the discretion of an attempted victim. |

Agreed, I give the guy props for doing what he did after the law was broken BUT if a guy kills somebody and then turns himself in and says sorry does he deserve to have the charges dropped? I know apples and oranges but come on. Not to mention I am sure during sentencing the judge will take in to consideration what he did after the crime took place. The charges shouldn't be dropped. |
