Three men shot a 64-year-old in Queens in an attempt to steal his new flatscreen television on Black Friday — but the 47-inch TV wouldn't fit in their escape vehicle.
The crooks forced their way into Bentley White's home in Cambria Heights at around 8:30 am after watching the retired mason load a trailer with construction materials and an LG TV he was planning on bringing to his vacation home in Jamaica. The perps then shot White in the stomach, cut the phone lines and stole the cell phones from the house, and tried to flee with the TV. But they couldn't get it into the car. "I saw three guys fumbling with a box outside by the lamppost," said neighbor Dudley Young, 63. "I saw them fighting over it. The box was on the side of their car and then they just left it."
The victim had surgery and is in stable condition. A relative named Chris told the Post he had no idea why anyone would shoot White. "What can a TV like that be valued on the street?" he asked. "[Bentley] wouldn’t resist. He wouldn’t hurt a fly. He’s harmless. This is just a senseless thing."

Hang em. Three less idiots for the planet to have to deal with.

More perfect reasons for the death penalty and abortion to be legal.
Aren't you being a bit harsh? They were just being smart and planning well ahead for Superbowl Sunday. Although if it were me, I would have looked for a bigger set to steal.
There should be a penalty for Criminal Stupidity. I just hope that none of these folks has passed on their genes yet.
I'm sure all three have several children they've never met.
I think the penalty is "getting caught".
Uncle Bentley just got hisself a new tv. Let's rob his ass
Were the perps Asian?
Shooting a 47-year-old for a 64-inch TV, I could understand. But only a barbarian would shoot a 64-year-old for a 47-inch TV.
shooting anyone, unprovoked, is not acceptable, idiot.
Loading a trailer w/ 'construction equipment and a flat screen TV'. Sounds like Tony Soprano is involved here.
When your eyes get too big for your trunk, it's time to rethink your priorities...or steal a better car.
