City's Tap Water Not Good Enough for Thief

070610water.jpg Not content to get his water from a fountain like the rest of us (but still wanting to get it for free), one man stole bottled water from a 13-year-old on June 30th. The teen had been selling the water on Warren Street between Court and Smith streets in Brooklyn when the thief approached and told him, "Shut up—prepare for me to hit you." The teen suffered a beatdown, and the suspect, described as a black man in his 20s with a shaved head, absconded with the water. Hopefully, water thefts will go down with the introduction of new-fangled water stations around the city.

    Typical behavior from the thug sector in Brooklyn. Civilized people ought to learn some fighting skills to stand up to the savages (and yes, if you beat up a 13 year old to steal his water, you are a savage).

    The perps rap sheet must include stealing candy from babies and pushing grandmas down flights of stairs...

    Thugs are suddenly too good for public services? That's not what the welfare line is telling me.
