Pizza guy robbed at knifepoint by guy who apparently didn't think he'd call police

Boston Police report a delivery guy with pizza, calzone and chicken wings was held up by a knife-wielding man outside 21 Wildwood St. around 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.

The driver went on to state that the unknown male removed a large knife from his waistband and stated, "Give me the food ... give me everything”. The driver handed over $40, the food and his cellular phone to the suspect before he ran to the rear of 21 Wildwood Street.

The criminal mastermind then went inside 21 Wildwood St. to chow down with a couple of pals, police say. Police say when officers showed up, the landlord gave officers a key to the apartment where the three were and arrested Neil Earvin Tom, 19, on a charge of armed robbery.

Innocent, etc.

I think its a blessing that

I think its a blessing that so many people with criminal intent happen to be morons. The smarter criminal would have it delivered to number 32 across the street so the kid wouldnt know his address.

True enough, ShadyMilkMan.

Otherwise, they'd be more dangerous. Yet, some of our most dangerous criminals are the ones who're not morons, and there are plenty of them around, too.

hungry is a crime

It's a good thing these guys had a knife. It's truly outrageous that being hungry is a crime. At least they'll get three squares a day in prison.

If you're hungry...

...mix in a visit to the food shelf instead of robbing a for-profit pizza shop.
