    Didn't think this belonged in the "sports" area but if it needs moved please do so. Nothing exudes "class" like robbing an old man while he's having a heart attack and leaving him to die...(now this could happen in ANY city but it's pathetic just the same)

    Cops: Boy robbed stricken Pittsburgh Pirates usher

    – Tue May 3, 5:07 pm ET

    PITTSBURGH – Police have arrested a 17-year-old boy accused of robbing an usher who worked at the baseball stadium where the Pittsburgh Pirates play after he stopped his car while having a heart attack on his way home from an extra-inning game.

    Police aren't identifying the suspect because of his age. They said Tuesday he approached the car and pulled out 58-year-old driver Michael Schacht, who had been slumped over and in distress. They say he stole the man's wallet and drove off in his car, leaving him on the ground.

    Police were puzzled by the man's death because he had only a superficial head injury when he was found April 10 a mile from PNC Park.

    The suspect doesn't qualify to be charged as an adult. He's being taken to a juvenile detention facility.

    That really sucks. I've been to PNC and depending on which way this gentleman went after the game to be found a mile away, its quite possible he could have been robbed and nobody saw it

    Maybe not shoot him,,,,, but:

    stick him in a room, and give him a drug that would induce an heart attack, and let him suffer, the way he let that man suffer, to his death?

    I don't think this particular kid is represntative to the future leadership and productive society of the country; only representative of the future of our prison system and/or welfare system.

    Either way, the end result is the best for the future of the society.

    Perhaps we need to start public beatings like they do in Singapore?

    It just baffles me that there are scumbags out there that would swipe the dudes wallet and steal his car instead of trying to help him while he's dying. Some pretty pathetic POS out there.
