SAN ANTONIO -- A man is recovering after he was stabbed during a robbery and police say he was the robber.  It happened on Zarzamora Street near Laredo Street on the west side. 
 
Police say it was around 10:30 p.m. Sunday when the man attempted to rob a 16-year-old boy. The teen pulled out a knife and stabbed the man in the head and chest, police said.
 
Investigators say it was about an hour later when the would-be robber called police from his home. Police were able to find evidence that linked the man to the robbery. He faces robbery charges. He was taken to University Hospital in stable condition. Police say the teen will not face charges.

To all the morons making ASSumptions this kid is my niece's boyfriend. He was walking home after a long hard day of work. It's a bad side of town and he didn't have a ride, he had been approached by some creeps in the past so he had to carry a knife for protection. He is a good kid trying to make some money to help his family and this bum thought he was an easy target, I guess this thief should think twice before attacking a kid again! No the teen is not a gang member, nor does he have kids! He is just a good kid with his first summer job trying to buy a car luckily he did what he had to do in order to survive.

Really? A 16 year old kid out at 10:30 at night in one of the worst sections of town and is packing a knife? My guess is the kid wasn't coming home from choir practice. And yep, Scandals, we just got to pay for the whole bowl of stupidity wandering around out there.

This entire incident is an attrocity of the highest order. I hardly know where to begin. First of all, no Christian would be out at that hour. Only the police should be out after ten o'clock at night and they should be upright Christian men who are out beating robbers, thieves and dope heads. There is the first failing. The requirement that a police office be a virtueous Christian man was long ago abandoned. They will hire just about anyone these days, even women. Thus, the people of the night are no longer beaten on sight. The next faiing is that this victimized youth was allowed out after ten. That is an outrage. If he was just across the street, playing scrabble and having a root beer, that would be another thing, but this youth was wandering the streets. If that is not enough, he had a knife. All you have to do is read the newspaper to know that the unsaved in this city are all running around with knives wanting to stick someone. The Lord must be fit to be tied over that. The first thing that needs to be done in that part of town is to knock down all the buildings and run off the people. It's nothing but a cesspool of sin and debauchery. Then, we can start all over there. That is my advice, but I doubt the Democrat lawyers who run this city for the Devil will follow the advice of a Christian. Those areas have one million registered voters per square mile, none of whom have any identification and many of whom have been dead for ten years, but still vote for Democrats. They cannot tamper with their base.

What a wuss that tough guy is. He should have manned up and just licked his wounds, but instead calls the police for help. It's pathetic.
