Was it his shooting hand?

New York teen has his ARM ripped off while trying to steal Air Jordan sneakers | Daily Mail Online

Personally if I were on the inevitable jury the driver would walk. (No pun intended)

How biblically poetic, in an Old Testament kind of way.

Sew him him up and turn him loose. He stole, he lost a hand. We were just spared a trial and the time to hire somebody to cut it off.

They are going to charge him with armed robbery? That's ironic.

Soooooooooo I'm guessing he is no longer armed.............

Ha, looks like I got scooped by 5hrs.

When you said disarmed, I thought.... never mind. Funny how NYC 's finest have charged the victim now, huh? One more thing to make me want to stay out of the city...

Well that will show them.

I don't understand the collecting of shoes...

I have heard some of them Air Jordans go for an arm and a leg...

Weeeeeel...................................and arm anyway.

Shure enough they are going to charge to the man he tried to rob. But seeing IT IS NYC does that surprise anyone? Hell I wouldn't be at all surprised in NYC if they charged a rape victim with engaging in unprotected sex.

That'd be ironic...considering what would happen in prison and all.

Oh, c'mon! The guy was getting robbed (allegedly) , and (allegedly) drove off. Robber (allegedly) called it quits and was (allegedly) fleeing, victim (allegedly) turned his car around and gave (alleged) chase, and (allegedly) rammed the fleeing robber into the fence, (allegedly) severing arm.

Where does self defense end and retributive vengeance begin? Can't say the victim was scared for his life when he turned the car around and gave chase. Wasn't a good shoot.

I understand how the victim has been charged with attempted murder, since his life was no longer in danger when he decided to react to the robbery. However, I don't think NY can find enough jurors that will convict the victim.

Waiting for the family to come along and tell me the robber was a "good boy".

And...

Waiting for the driver's family to tell me he's a "loving father and good provider". Because a loving father puts his family through the ringer to stop a thief.

Steal my shoes, I take your arm!

It's a shame this guy can possibly do some time behind this, but if I were on the jury, he could breath easy.

I don't know, though... The dude turned around and chased the mope down. He no longer posed a threat to him.

He could be considered an imminent threat, especially after just committing a felony. I'd make up the law as I went along, to ensure he got off.
