And they are just getting younger. We have heard about adults using airsoft guns to commit armed robberies or intimidating people. But this one will just shake our heads as we have gone into the minds of these teenagers, one who is 11 years old, and the rest 15-year olds to rob a gas station with an airsoft pistol just to buy an XBox 360. Yeah, yeah, we know times are tough, but an Xbox 360 won't just bring food to the table.

This was not an impromptu attempt to rob a gas station by these kids. It is said that they "had been plotting an armed robbery for weeks because they wanted money to buy an Xbox game console, prosecutors allege in charging documents filed Thursday."

At the end of the day, they were able to run away with US$200, which was barely enough to buy a console, and not enough cash left for the game titles. But surveilance cams caught them and they were identified and now charged with first-degree robbery.

I wonder what their parents now are thinking of when they were raising them.
