New York. This is a story where I am
still trying to figure out if the punishment fit the crime. From
reports this is what happened. 39 year old Phillip Pierre was
supposed to sell a pair of Air Jordan 8 shoes for about $190. God,
people pay a lot for shoes. Anyhoot, instead of buying the shoes 17
year old Zachary Sam decided to rob Phillip at gunpoint instead. This
is all on video by the way.
Zachary takes off running as Philip makes
a u-turn and ends up ramming his vehicle against the kid. Zachary got
away and headed home...without his arm. That's right. He had his arm
severed by the vehicle. He actually made it to a bus where the driver
stopped seeing how badly he was bleeding. This is what is known as
street justice. Its illegal but super effective. Zachary was taken to
the hospital where doctors attempted to attach his arm. He was well
enough to eventually be arrested and charged with armed robbery.
Philip has been charged with 2nd degree attempted murder.
