VIDEO: Illinois kids' lemonade stand robbed at gunpoint, then cops and community rally around the boys

Amazing job turning lemons into lemonade.

In a shocking video, a lemonade stand operated by two young boys in Illinois was robbed at gunpoint. The children were selling lemonade in the East Bluff section of Peoria last Friday afternoon when two "older kids" walked up, one armed with a gun, and snatched the boys' cash drawer, according to the Peoria Journal Star.

Surveillance video from a neighbor caught the armed robbery of the lemonade stand at 4:52 p.m. last Friday. The suspects reportedly stole about $30 before running off. Peoria police spokeswoman Amy Dotson confirmed that one of the suspects had a gun, according to the Pekin Times. Police were investigating the robbery.

Tomorrow's entrepreneurs, tomorrow's lost souls. It's a story as old as time.

Damn good response from the community and the police.

No shock. So many blacks teach their youth it is okay to kill so robbing is seen as nothing to their youth. And yes this is what they teach with BLM. It is okay to kill another black so long as you are black. What is not okay is if the killer is white or an officer. BLM doesn't emphasize the life it emphasizes the killer so that means black lives only matter on the killer What is shocking is they can't figure this simple thing out and act like it's a mystery why their youth are so very very violent and why they are slaughtering each other including black children.

5:57- WHAT!? WTF!? Please explain. Sounds like nonsense to me. Take the current president. Take every entrepreneur. Like an idiot, you're lumping every one into one distorted view, just like BLM. Very communist view, also. You failed at life, so you shun future small business owners? Goid luck with that POV!
