If President Obama Had a Son...

...he'd probably look a lot like Paris Austin.

Paris Austin left home at 16 but then, forced to pay his own way, he shot a young mother three times at an ATM in a robbery attempt.

The woman survived, and Austin's friends turned on him, according to defense attorney Andrew Grimes. Now 17, Austin pleaded guilty Monday to five charges and faces 25 years in prison without parole. “He was trying to make money for clothes and, instead of getting a job, he took a shortcut,” Grimes said.


Shortcut. What a non-judgmental way to put it.
