A gang of Philadelphia teenagers accused of robbing a Dick's Sporting Goods store in Florida while attending a football tournament have been named and shamed by a no-nonsense sheriff.
Members of the eight-strong mob were arrested and hit with felony charges after their alleged December 6 theft spree - something they may not have expected in their Pennsylvania home city, whose district attorney is a notoriously woke prosecutor called Larry Krasner.
The teenagers are members of the United Thoroughbreds team from Philadelphia and were in Davenport to face the Coco Tigers team for the Prolifix Sportz National Championship.

I watched the video so you don't have to.
Yes. All 8 are 13%.
You're welcome.

Unfortunately the perpetrators do not know what shame is, to them it’s just part of the White Man’s law. They have all apparently been released and have returned to Pennsylvania, does anyone think that the perpetrators will voluntarily return to Florida for trial? Chances are some leftist Democrat Federal Judge in Pennsylvania will intervene and claim that the perpetrators, because of their age, or something like that, do not have to return to Florida.

According to the article, the teens had no criminal record. I find it hard to believe that this is their first rodeo. They were just never caught before.

I'm surprised DM used "gang" to describe them. That rag usually bends over backwards to avoid pointing out the obvious in these situations.

FTA:
"Judd said that when the teenagers were arrested at the store, their football coach raced to the scene to try and convince officers not to take them into custody.
The sheriff said deputies were not impressed that the coach tried to 'beg them out of it instead of holding them accountable.'
'They were not taking bubble gum, one piece to chew. They stole over $2,000 worth of products, over 47 different products,' he added" "
There are mug shots. And their team lost the championship game hours later 26-6.
Good.

Despite being "minors", their names and faces have been made unavoidably public. Whether or not they find a way to get "off" they at least have "strike one" on record. Hopefully, these young skulls of mush will find a way to turn their lives around. It would be an interesting science experiment to document their next twenty years.

"Thoroughbreds"? Really? That sounds like the punch line in a 'Sixties racist joke. These eight are just common thieves who didn't face any consequences in Philadelphia, and thought they could expand their thievery to other places. If they get bonded out, their chances of returning to Sheriff Judd's Polk County, Florida, for trial are approximately zero. If they're accustomed to this kind of behavior in Philadelphia--just walking into retail establishments, taking whatever they want, and fleeing with the booty--they have a future in prison, somewhere. Maybe that future should be in Lakeland lockup, County jail. Eleven months and twenty-nine days would be nice. Jail time might break them of some bad habits. As I said above, the Thoroughbred coach is a big part of the problem. As no kind of a leader of young men, he should be fired, then arrersted, for contributing to the delinquency of minors. Shameful. Disgraceful. And his team, with eight possible starters in marooned in County, got their butts kicked in the game, 26-6. Condign result. The losers lost.

The Grady Judd video was worth a look. He dubbed them the Thoroughbter Thieves. They Ubered from their hotel to Dick's, where they "shopped but didn't pay for it"...
I'd say this was not their first shopping trip.

"Teens" my shiny, white butt. You knew without looking. I knew without looking. Everyone knew without looking. As one Ldotter so succinctly stated, "It's not ALL of them; but it's ALWAYS THEM".
NGASGOTTANG. It has always been thus.

Same people same problems just a different day. Again, nobody wants to address the elephant in the room. Until that happens nothing will change.

Wow, this happened about 2 miles from my home. And these sainted superstar athletes couldn't
have chosen a worse county to steal in. Sheriff Judd doesn't care for criminals much, to be honest.

#8: They probably won't return to FL for trial, but when they're stopped with drugs in a stolen car (bet on it) they'll be found to have warrants. Unfortunately, they won't be extradited.

Probably won't appear, but they can have 'failure to appear' added to the other charge. This works out OK for Florida, though. That's one good thing, one less gang of felons that should be smart enough to stay out of that state. Well, considering their IQ's, maybe not.

My bet is that out of the 8, about 1 of them has a chance to get their head on straight and quit the life of crime that they have started down.
But, I might be too optimistic. Most likely all will wind up as career criminals and half will die before 30 from drugs or bullets.

No #2. It's show me the parent. There is only one. One could also say, show me the grandparent since many of these kids are housed with a grandparent while the mother is off producing another one.

Headline says they were "teens." No need to click on the video, you already knew.

Join a private "Football Club Team"...get an all expense paid trip to sunny Florida, in the midst of a frigid cold spell...use it as leisure looting opportunity...ruin your future. Felonies stay with you for life, limit what jobs you can ever hold, never get to VOTE, lose all future welfare benefits, for you and your family. Team needs to change it's name..."Thoroughbreds"? No...feral Jackasses.

Daimon Johnson; Elijah Myers; Ibm-Mahdee Abdul-Haqq; Jacob Smith; Marcus Hudgens; Mark Bryan; Tymir Smith and Tymir Speller.
Those are the thoroughbred teens, exactly what you expected.
Pennsylvania respectfully requests that you keep these creatures down there, in Alligator Alcatraz if you have the space. We are suffering from a severe lack of law enforcement on the eastern side of the state.

What kind of name is Ibm-Mahdee Abdul-Haqq? Giving a kid an unpronounceable made-up name is a strike against them from Day 1.

Re #22.....Tymir Speller.......LOL! It's impossible to make up stuff crazier than real life.
A "Speller" who can't spell anything....even his name.

Anytime the term "8 Philadelphia teenagers" is mentioned, you know they're gonna be talking about criminal scum!
Under the Jail is a good place for them! Get em used to the forever home they'll require after they mature!

Hopefully, at least some of them will be scared straight after this.

Ah yes. Their criminal careers are off to a grand start. If they don't appear for trial, a bench warrant will be issued for their arrest (in Pennsylvania) and they will be extradited. This is not going away. Florida wants to make an example of them, as well they should. Little predators.

We no longer have to embarrass a certain segment of that race with "racist" remarks, they do it to themselves on a daily basis. Come on parents, take responsibility for your children or they will grow up perpetuating the stereotype.

These young thieves shouldn't have done what they did, let alone in Sheriff Grady Judd's Polk County, Florida. Whatever they were thinking, they should have rethought. Their coach needs to be fired, too.
