To hear a story of a 16-year-old child demanding $100 for beer, one should immediately conjure up images of someone on a direct path toward a maximum-security prison in the not too distant future. Its bad enough that a 16-year-old would be drinking in the first place, but who are we kidding, quite a few teens imbibe on a regular basis, but $100 worth of beer? That’s more like submersion.

As it turns out the story of 16-year-old Kurt Cass is more than a story about underage drinking. Kurt Cass did more than demand $100 for beer; he put a razor blade to the throat of his own grandmother and demanded money, after she refused to finance his binge. After returning home from his beer run, young Kurt found that poor grandma had locked the doors, unfortunately she should have called the police.

Kurt was so enraged by the fact that the door was locked that he kicked the door down and proceeded to bludgeon his grandmother with fists, a 2x4 and a piece of PVC pipe. Fortunately help arrived to end Cass’s rampage. According to police Cass has been charged with aggravated assault, aggravated battery, attempted robbery, and kidnapping. For some reason he was not charged with attempted murder. If someone holds a razor to a person’s neck, they aren’t threatening that person with assault, they are threatening death, to say nothing of beating a grandmother with a 2x4.

This hellion should be prosecuted with the utmost rigor of the law, never again to see the light of day. Cass’s trip to prison is now assured, where he will meet a rare form of animal, just anxious for a new plaything. A fitting end for a portrait of a piece of trash.
