I hope this "man" feels like a big shot. Robbing an 8 year old boy at gunpoint. Very brave...dumb troglodyte.


LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -

A Little Rock boy has been held at gunpoint and robbed of his motorized two-wheel scooter, known as a hoverboard.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/1PMnx2G ) that officers responded to a call at a south Little Rock residence around 3:30 p.m. Saturday.

A police report states that 34-year-old Shamika Brown and her 8-year-old son were riding his hoverboard in the street when a gray 2008 Honda Accord pulled up nearby. The report says the man got out of the car, pointed a gun at the boy and took the hoverboard.

The hoverboard is valued at $340.

Police searched the area but have made no arrests.

Yet another reason I'm glad we couldn't, and wouldn't have could we, afford one of those for my 8 year old stepson for Christmas!

My 32 yr old friend got on her sons Christmas morning, wrecked within 5 seconds, and has had surgury on her knee and elbow. Now, they're sitting in the middle of the garage, hoping they don't burn the house down. what a gift
