So can I just say that I woke up to one the most bizarre stories I've ever heard? Listen to this:
I was woken up this morning by the news talking about a murder and pizza. Legitimately, that was all I heard. I went back asleep, and woke up a bit later to the same story, but again, I missed it. After my class, I went to hang out with my friend because I had a three hour break between my two classes and decided to look it up online in the Boston Globe. Apparently, there were these three "kids" who ordered up a pizza and lured the pizza delivery guy inside of this house that they were hanging out in. This delivery guy was in his 50's and working two jobs to pay for his kids to attend college. He was stabbed and murdered inside this house, and the pizza was stolen. The kids not only stole the pizza, but took $100 from the delivery guy and took off in his car. A little bit away from the scene, the car was found with the pizza box inside of it and all but three slices were eaten. The suspects pleaded not guilty.
You know, I've heard a lot of messed up things, especially the town I live in, but this is definitely in my top. I mean, who in their right mind does that? Who murders a guy like this for pizza and then pleads not guilty?? Honestly...what is this world coming to? I would love to hear the reasoning as to why they thought this was okay. I'm sorry, but this just angers and upsets me.
If you want to read some of the articles for yourself, you can go to these websites I found from The Boston Globe:

Hey Colleen, I agree with you. I got upset when I heard this story as well. When I heard this story, the first thing that came to my head was, wtf?! All that just for $100 bucks?! I mean, seriously, this is one of the most insane and sad stories I have heard in a while. Here we have this amazing father working 2 jobs so he can afford for his kid to attend college and then bam--just like that he is taken away from his family all because some little pricks decide they need money and feel the easiest way to do it is to fake a pizza order and then robber the delivery guy. Then they plead not guilty? Pssht. Totally bull shit. I understand people are innocent until proven guilty; but, if all the evidence is there... I really hope that these kids get what they deserve....If you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteThis is the oldest trick in the book, I always hear about kids who order a pizza only to rob the pizza delivery guy, matter of fact I actually know some kids who done it before and got caught, it's so pointless, these delivery guys never carry more than 50 bucks on them usually. But i would have to agree that it's fucked up, I always hear about the pizza guy getting roughed up a bit, but never murdered.
