With a name like Ashford Pyle, it sounds like he should be playing badminton at the country club, rather than being ghetto trash. Too bad, since he'll be getting a mandatory minimum of 5 years, hopefully 25 if he's lucky.

"What sorta mezzo-finookio name is Ashford Pyle?" Maybe he's related to Gomer.

You mess with Jesus and you go to hell. What sorta mezzo-finookio name is Ashford Pyle?

Offbalance: The generation born in the 1990's aren't all awful; this is just the ghetto trash, who weren't raised properly by their ghetto trash parents. The kind of kids who didn't graduate high school and all think they won't get caught for their street crimes. The kind that wear those awful jackets with colorful symbols and dollar signs on their jacket. Yuck.

Yesterday they grab the East Village rapist, and he's 19. Today's criminal scumbag is 18. Most of the arrests for similar crimes seem to be around the same age group. I really hope the generation of kids who were born in the 1990s aren't as awful as they appear to be.

@chris, Nice one. It would have been better if the robber pulled the trigger and a little flag popped out.

Sounds like the island isn't done with him.

Glad this guy lived to tell the tale, but I have to say that it's funny how many streets guns out there jam because criminals don't know how to clean or maintain a gun.

If anything proves your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, it's an $8,000 diamond-studded gold pendant of Jesus. I could swear there was a clause about idolatry....

Obviously this guy doesn't know that Jesus didn't have shoes and was homeless.
