SUPERVISED PEOBATION NOT VERY EFFECTIVE

Firearm beats supervised probation

Lavauntia Broadbent, 16, is never going to make it to 17 because he is doing the dirt dance. He made a really bad decision. It cost him his relatively young and relatively worthless life and is likely landing his road puppies in prison for a long time.

Broadbent was heavily involved in the violent gang culture in W. St. Paul, Minnesota. He and some of his homies went out on July 31 and tried to rob two adults. On of them had a legal carry pistol and he was better with it than was Broadbent, resulting in Broadbent being face-down in the dirt and his homies running for their lives. Broadbent and several buddies had successfully pulled off another armed robbery earlier in the day. (Interestingly enough when the cops showed up the shooter was attempting to keep Broadbent from bleeding out. Had it been me I am unsure I would have taken the risk.)

One of Broadbent’s moronic friends posted a note on facebook almost immediately after the shooting saying that he had just been shot. The cops figured that meant the moronic friend was one of the accomplices. Three of the young gang members are now in custody facing various criminal charges.

Broadbent was on supervised probation at the time of the shooting.

EDITOR’S NOTE: According to President Obama, Broadbent and his homies were just making some youthful mistakes by robbing people. Shame on his intended victim for making young Broadbent do the dirt dance.
