Here's a little tip for you: Thieving DS Lites from kids won't help you get laid. If only unemployed 17-year-old twat Anthony Etienne knew that sooner, he might not have stolen a handheld from a little girl in order to impress a lady.
Etienne needed cash to take out some prospective female company. Having no money of his own, he figured he'd steal a little girl's DS Lite and flog it for the green. Here's Etienne, in his own words, explaining why he did it. Oh, and if you wondered why he didn't have a job, this unedited written statement might clue you in:
I did not have no money to impress her, so if I thought that if I take this lil girl’s DS, I can make some money. I tapped her shoulder. I said, ‘Give it.’ She said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘It mine,’ (sic) and forst (sic) it from her. I felt bad as she chased me but it was done. I said to myself, ‘Never agen (sic).’
Etienne is facing several charges, including third degree robbery, fourth degree grand larceny, and petit larceny. Hopefully he'll also be get tried for crimes against the English language.
Besides which, Etienne is clearly a massive idiot. Not specifically because he stole from a child, but because he stole a DS Lite. You ain't gonna get shit for that, son. Enough kids carry iPhones that he could have made some serious bank.

Are you fucking kidding me?
Sensitive enough to get one for both of you, fatherly enough to carry the baby with him, caring enough to not throw the baby at the police, resourceful enough to find a way to make cash quick, smart and fit enough to avoid the cops I mean Jesus Christ! Unless the common women's standards are now so absurdly high these days that they would not want to sleep with double-xbox-baby-man that dude is probably getting laid as I type this.
Fuck I got to get me some xboxes and a baby.
Also, reading that quote hurt me, and it is painful to think people like this wander the streets...
Ugh
*red eyes, foamy mouth* >:-O
Well why in the fuck did you steal a DS if you already have enough money?
:3
They need to go back to school, get educated, get a job, and stop worrying about "dat pussy" for just once.
I think he is going to get some man love soon enough.
and space incites random time travel and I can introduce his pregnant mother to a coat hanger.
"This article is full to the brim with bias."
Care to elaborate on this point?
@LittleBigD
"That little girl needs a big brother to stomp the living shit out of this dumb shit."
I think just about anyone posting here would happily volunteer for that position, myself included.
What I'm baffled at is the charge for grand larceny, granted in the fourth degree. I was under the impression that the charge of grand larceny was usually for items of large value, usually starting at four figures.
To those saying "I've lost faith in humanity whaa whaa", get a clue about life and what's actually fulfilling rather than holding nonsensical standards and being disappointed.
Agreed, I think it's time to send this guy back to science and outer space.
For some reason, I laughed so hard while reading your comment that I almost dropped the bottle of water I was holding. Damn dude.
@thingy Person: I lost faith in humanity, or at least America, when they elected Bush the second time.
What elementary and middle schools did he go to, how the hell did he get past fifth grade with such atrocious grammar and spelling, and why hasn't high school brought him up to speed?
I swear, the public school system is failing just as much as its students are.
Your right, rich people just take advantage of loop holes in the law in order to steal their money.
I think Sprldr was kidding about the rich people...right? Because it is obvious it takes all kinds, rich-poor they all steal. Our communities are getting downright disgusting.
