People are FED UP with this type of sh*t and juries realize it. I for one would not find him guilty in any way whether he chased them or not. As far as the age issue, if he is old enough to steal and be a bad azz then he is old enough to get exactly what he got. It is sad to say but hopefully the more this type of thing happens the less we will see people theiving and carjacking.
