PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) - Two teenage boys are under arrest after they attempted to rob a police station.
Port St. Lucie police say the two boys - ages 12 and 14 - walked into the lobby of a regional station Wednesday afternoon and demanded money from an aide behind the glass enclosure.
Police say the 12-year-old hid one hand under his jacket as if he had a gun. Another aide ran into the back screaming for help.
Within minutes, a half dozen officers, some with guns drawn, burst into the lobby and arrested the boys. Both are charged with attempted armed robbery.
Police spokesman Rob Vega says the kids were laughing and remarked, "We'll be famous now."

No ones to blame and nothings wrong. Don't you see the irony in robbing a police station?? These kids weren't actually trying to rob the station.. they just thought it would be funny.. and ironic.. which it is.. so everyone calm the hell down.. boys will be boys and let them be boys. Now if they were 20 to 30 doing this.. be a whole different story. I'm a Republican too.. isn't that ironic? Don't you think?

if you go back to the history kids long time ago and think about our time compare today kids that a big change. as an example when we look what kind the crime kids committe today that remind you about your young age how your family used to be carefull with you. i think we need to go back and reviews our society again that might help us how to fix teennage life back to the new world.

stuuuuuupid What total jerks! I'm glad their names weren't cited in the article. It would be great if they saw a news article that didn't say who they but only identified them as Stupid1 and Stupid2. . . . . What total jerks! If I were a classmate I think I would totally deny to my other classmates their very existance. I would say something like, "Sorry, I don't recall ever meeting anyone that stupid."

It takes minutes for the police to get there because noone else carries a gun for protection anymore. If one was to carry a gun, legaly, one can blast any fool to kingdom come when the time comes. Why wait for the police when you can be judge and jury all at the same time!

Uh, I dont think weed is to blame, frunk. For something this dumb, you would have to be huffing gasoline or shooting up crack into your neck. PSA. By the way, if you are stupid, stop having children.

From the article: "Within minutes a half dozen officers, some with guns drawn, burst into the lobby..." Within minutes? Why would it take minutes for police officers to get to the lobby? No more donuts, boys!

The level of stupidity some of these comments express shows me clearly why other countries laugh at us...and some our so stupid I can't help but laugh myself rofl.

Not life or even jail time. They should be given the NASTIEST community service job possible. Like cleaning out port-a-potties after concerts or something. They would think twice after that.

Unfortunately, the music and environment they come from, gives the impression being a gangsta is cool. Someone needs to explain the difference between famous and infamous.

I totally agree. Throw them in a cell for life. Solitary confinement for each. Actually, I'm down for some cruel & unusual today, maybe some old-school Inquisition techniques, like pulling their limbs off, joint by joint. You may think it's extreme, but I know little idiot kids like this will just do it again once they're out. It's Darwinian.

Listen Trevor. You have to check your tone. If they were your children, you wouldn't be talking about making no examples.

They should be told that they will be spending the rest of their lives behind bars or the death penalty to see if they pee their pants but in reality give them 2 weeks in juvenile hall.

Since they're underage, they can't release the kid's names until they're 18. So no, kiddies, no fame for you.
