And they say young people don’t have initiative any more

From the Journal Star:

Police say a 13-year-old boy armed with a gun held up South Side Bank Monday morning.

It didn’t turn out well for the young lad, but at least he is out there trying to pull himself up by the boot straps. He reminds me of Aaron Schock. When he was 13, I think Schock was investing his paper route money in rental properties.  Well, that might not be exactly true. But I am sure Schock was up to something.

    A five sentence post and Schock is mentioned in three. What are you getting at Larry?

    Lots of initiative. He was probably working his way through pirate school.
