FOR WANT OF A PIZZA

Lake Station Indiana. Three people sitting around, 38 year old mom, 18 year old son and 30 year old boyfriend. One says lets get a pizza and it turns out nobody has money to pay for it. Mom comes up with a brainstorm and it concerns robbing the pizza delivery person. The order was called in giving the address of an abandoned home down the street. Upon arriving at the address she was struck in the head by one of the men with THE CLUB a device that locks the steering wheel of a car. The mother is the one who gave the men THE CLUB and told them to beat the delivery person with it. The delivery person was hit in the head and hand but was able to get to her car and drive off. The criminals did steal three pizza's for their efforts. After the assault the men threw the weapon into a river where it was later recovered when one of the men showed police where they had thrown it. The 18 year old also threw his shoes into the river because they had pizza sauce on them, they were also recovered.

The result of this stupidity is that the delivery person received a plate in her head and four metal pins placed in her hand. As silly as it may sound, any delivery job that involves going to a home a night is dangerous and not enough care can be taken to avoid this kind of thing happening. I can only hope that the three of these people get more that just a slap on the wrist. How about one year for each pizza they stole, one year for each pin in her hand and two years for the metal plate she has in the head. I will watch the paper to see the results of this deed and pass it on.
