It was bound to happen. Some fool commits an act of animal cruelty, get videoed, goes on the internet, and get his dumb ass thrown in jail. Besides how inhumane and despicable this is, there's a couple of other things to consider here.
1. The perpetrator, Andre Robinson is a 21 year old kid who, despite his very young age has now managed to rack up a record of 9 arrests. Makes you wonder. If this fool can get arrested 9 times already (God knows how many crimes went by without arrest), one of which was a knife-point mugging, what in the world is this guy doing out out the street ? What the hell do they have in New York, that passes for justice, to allow a dude to be walking around free, with that many arrests under his belt ?
2. What's going on in the schools with relation to law education ? As I recall my own education and that of my kids, there was rarely, if ever, a whisper about the law, and the only bit I remember was a business law course (an elective) in high school. Chances are pretty good that that Robinson didn't even know what he was doing was illegal. Not that this excuses his outrageous behavior, which is wrong on moral ground alone, but a better education in basic criminal law, might have saved this cat from the kick he took. Also, a discussion about animal cruelty might have brightened some of the dimmer bulbs in the classroom, who see treating animals roughly as some kind of means of showing toughness.
Want to show toughness boys ? Join the army or marines. Then we'll see what you're made of.
