Armed thugs rob young boy and his sister at lemonade stand: 'This is grotesque!'

A 12-year-old boy and his 11-year-old sister were traumatized by two thugs who robbed their lemonade stand after threatening them with a gun, according to the kids' father.David Byrne said his two children were selling lemonade in their south Boston neighborhood when they were approached by two juveniles at 4:40 p.m. on Wednesday.'This is appalling; this is grotesque. This is something that should not happen to young kids.'The juveniles said they wanted to buy lemonade but walked away after claiming they didn't have any money. A few minutes later they returned, and one flashed a black gun in his waistband."My kids immediately just put their hands up and said, 'Take whatever you want.' So, I'm proud of my kids for that, and I'm proud of them for basically protecting each other but also being smart in that bad situation," Byrne said to WBZ-TV.The juveniles allegedly took all of the cash that the children had earned and fled on foot."This is appalling; this is grotesque. This is something that should not happen to young kids," the father said to WHDH-TV. "Can't have a gun and can't be robbing lemonade stands. It's as easy as that," he added.He went on to say that the children were sad and a little bit disturbed by what happened.Boston police said they were searching for the juveniles and that no arrests had been made. They did release video and images of suspects they believed to be the juveniles responsible for the armed robbery.

Data analyst reveals how Trump lost young Republicans on foreign policy

President Donald Trump is not only underwater with Democrats and Independents, but now he's losing young Republicans. CNN data analyst Harry Enten revealed that when it comes to the Iran war and foreign policy in general, Trump has lost his own base. "Trump [has a] historically strong performance with younger voters. And here we're talking about voters under the age of 45. He beat Kamala Harris with them, or at least beat the prior Republican baselines with them," said Enten. "And you can see it right here on foreign policy. He absolutely crushed Kamala Harris, who was more trusted under the age of 45, on foreign policy."Trump had a nine-point lead over Harris on foreign policy, but that has shifted significantly. "He has a net approval rating now on foreign policy — 40 points underwater, a nearly 50-point switcheroo," Enten said. "So, after putting in the strongest performance, more trusted on foreign policy, the first since George W. Bush all the way back in '04, [Trump] has completely lost that advantage way down there. He is no longer groovy. According to the young people of America," Enten said. Those foreign policy numbers are coming from Trump's failure in the Iran war. "Just take a look at how people under the age of 45 feel about Iran not being worth the cost," said Enten. "Look at this: four in five —81 percent said the Iran war is not worth the cost. And look at Trump's disapproval. Basically simpatico with this, 77 percent of those under the age of 45 say the Iran war, or, excuse me, say that Trump's disapproval of the Iran war is way up there, up there like a rocket at 77 percent."The generations make it clear that it isn't worth the cost. The older end of those under 45 are members of the Millennial Generation, who faced the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Brown University's Costs of War Project showed that the casualty and injury rate for the 19 years of war come overwhelmingly from the Millennial Generation. The Harvard Institute of Politics showed that "young adults [18 to 29] are overwhelmingly skeptical about the current U.S. strategy in Iran."
