This happened yesterday in Akron, Ohio. Boy I only live 13 miles from there. It's downtown area but 1530 hours? My question is how would you handle? "empty your pockets" kinda makes you tip your hand, one has a gun, what if others do, my goodness, 5 vs 1, even for Chuck Norris and an Uzzi would be iffy. And the fact that it's 5 young "men", i'm begging to think that once you hit puberty put them in Adult coart.
" About 8:30 p.m. Monday, a 21-year-old Akron man told police that five kids had robbed him at gunpoint.
He was walking on East Exchange Street near Sumner Street when five juveniles on bicycles surrounded him. One boy asked the victim for change for a dollar. When the victim said that he didn't have any money, another boy pulled out a gun and ordered the man to empty his pockets. He did so and the boys pedaled away with his cell phone, bank card and driver's license.
Police were called. Officers saw several boys on bikes matching the descriptions of the robbers. They were arrested on South Main Street in front of Cascade Plaza, where officers recovered the victim's property.
All five are at the Summit County Juvenile Detention Center accused of aggravated robbery. Their ages range from 13 to 16. "
