send a message wayne county. Put these two knuckleheads away for at least 10 years. Maybe, just maybe, other wannabees might think twice if they know they might get some serious jail time

Wishful thinking. B and E is not a priority for the county. People convicted of armed robbery are serving no more than 2 years.

Suffer the consequences. I just hope 10 years is enough for them to learn their lesson.

Knowing both guys, I think they should not go to prison but instead do something else that can help them. They both are nice kids nd idk why they did this, its a stupid mistake no doubt but others did y worse nd didn't get 10yrs now plz talk fair

Never knew these kids would do something like that, I feel bad for their families. They got what they deserved I guess..

Wow

Although they are young, they are old enough to know what they are doing. Its shame, but they should face long jail time to learn the consequences of thuggery.

I am ali bazzi brother he never did nothing he got a phone call and the kid said he need to go to the hospital so my bro ali bazzi went to get him and my bro got pulled over by the cops and found the phones with ray not with ali bazzi. But the truth will come out good luck bro I love you.

So sad although I think 10 years is to much

i dont know ali bazzi, but ive known raychouni for the longest time. hes such a sweetheart. i know for a fact that he never intended any harm. i just hope everything goes well for both guys.

How did all the disgusting profanity get here earlier? I thought comments were subject to approval before posting.

Who ever is staying let them get 10 years is crazy ! Yes let them suffer the consequences but don't destroy their lives! And also some murders get 0 time ! if anything we need a system to help these kids not turn them into cons! Maybe nite more parents will pay attention to what their kids stress doing

#are doing

Why are some of yous so heartless, these boys need help in how to become better citizens not send them away and take there youth away lifes to short we all mess up sooner or later some never get caught why treat them like these boys that are out there shooting people in theaters n malls give them a break

Yes I do hope the truth comes out...Why would anyone think it is a good idea to steal..The thought was there to do the crime..I do think this was a well thought out crime....It just didn't pan out..Now that people where caught it's a whole different story...The truth will come out..If you tell the truth there is no need for lies...

This should be a warning to all parents. Yes many of the Dearborn residents are with Middle Eastern background and they should be proud of this. In this day and age we are trying to break these stereotypes and yes it has been difficult since after 9/11 but the fact is, Middle Eastern or not these two teenagers made a mistake they must pay for. Just because they are "nice" kids does not mean they are held to a higher standard. The law in the books says one thing and the law in action says another. During the plea bargaining stage the evidence should be provided and should take a deal there before trial. If one of these teenagers are truly innocent, let it be shown at trial. As a community, we must stick together, we are too divided with our own cultures and how we look at religion. Is sad, but true. Go to any other American community in the US and most people want to visit Dearborn for their rich diverse culture and show how Islam is practiced in America. Let's be examples, not statistics.

LOL PAULLY D !

To the brother of Ali Bazzi. I work at the store and I watched surveillance of the break in. You are a liar Ibrahim and your brother and his friend are nothing but trouble. I hope they serve hard time. He is a disgrace to my family's name as I am also I Bazzi. Stay out of trouble.

Omg he's 17 I dated pauly he told me he was 22 wow

I can't stand it when someone knows a person who is a criminal and says they don't deserve jail time and that they should do something else! You do the crime you do the time. Ten years is not a harsh punishment at all. They ruined the store owner's life.

These kids are nice kids I think they should go to college and get a job and stop doing this stupid things .......

Peeons

Dear Brothers & Sisters Don't Be So Cruel. I Believe If They Made A Mistake & They're Found Guilty Of It They Surely Should Be Punished For It But Not That of A Severe Punishment, Cmon He's Only 17 & 10 Years Of Jail? =? Getting Out the Jail Being 27. Wasting Half Of His Life In Jail, Instead If He Committed The Crime Then Put Him On Probation, Make Them Do Community Service, Make Them Go Back & Arrange Phones & Clean Phones Everyday So They Realize Their Mistake With Embarrasement & At Same Time They're Able to Live Life & Know Never To Make That Mistake Again, Putting Them In Jail Will Just Make It Worser!.. & Again My Dear Brothers If You Guys Are Right in Your Place You Know You Havn't Made That Mistake of Stealing Then just Have Some Patience & Keep Full Faith In Allah Subhan Wa T'ala He'll Help You Get Through It...IN'SHA'ALLAH !

Lol all of you saying put them away are ignorant they are still growing its a mistake surely we have all made them some worse than others that punishment is harsh they wont be the same theyll be worse theyre both friends that hungout with the wrong crowd plus anyways they wont do 10 years no one does theyll be out you ;-)

oh man I hope they realize what they did was crust baneach. I will pray for them both.

So sad how some people still feel bad for criminals. You do the crime, you face the time. It is a simple equation. I do feel bad, but a statement must be sent and if a statement has to be sent through these "thugs", then I'm in support of it. I also think the parents in Dearborn must regain control of their households because I am just about sure things like this wouldn't happen if they had more control in there households.

By the way, I've had just about enough of everyone acting like they were raised in such a rough setting. In reality, you children of Dearborn were raised no where but east Dearborn. None of you were raised in the slums of Detroit so stop acting like it.

-unanimous

Its common sense , if ur gonna break into a building and try to steal, your gonna get caught. Idiots.

What these children need is guidance. It is true that a crime was committed here, they should be punished definitely. 10 years for a 17 year old... Come on now, lets better our youth not ruin their lives. They deserve a punishment they will learn from. It still baffles me that 17 year olds can leave their homes at their convenice.

Yo Man this be Five O on some fluffstuff... dey be trippin dats fasho but as ma mainsqueeze once said, locked up and dey wont let me out!!

On a completely unrelated note, in an economic standpoint, theoretically, serving 10 years for a B&E charge is too much because it is too close to other, much greater charges, such as illegal possession of weapons or drug trafficking. This might motivate some people have committed a non-life threatening crime, to commit a more severe crime while they are at it, since the difference in jail time is minute.

On some real talk doe, dey be trippin! Lawdd hav mercy! Ratchet! Triflin! You FUGAYZEE wit it!

If they didn't get caught, would they be sorry? Certainly not. They would be successful criminals who would, probably, have done this again. Or maybe they have done this before. They need to be punished with restitution, but not for 10 years. As for the families, "you get what you reap".

Just to be clear on the current state of issues that is underhand, everyone here that says they deserve ten years In prison is either mentally challenged or completely retarted. It's a good thing none of you are judges in the American law system, because you would be ruining the lives of hundreds every day. You don't throw children in jail for ten years for robbery, instead you put them in a rehabilitation program for them to understand exactly what they did wrong. I from experience know that the alleged criminal in this case has mental distortions and is on medication for mental issues I am not at liberty to say. Another thing, throwing them in jail will not set the example, that is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. When people break in to steal, they are either doing it for greed or out of sheer necessity, and both those courses blind someone to future consequence. So all future thieves won't sit and say, "oh no we can't rob them, we will go to jail." If anything at all, we should be proud of the people who set the real example on that night. The Dearborn police station set an amazing example through quick and decisive action.

What these "children" SHOULD have gotten BEFORE the crime was guidance. It seems ridiculous to me to think a 17 year old wouldn't know that there are consequences to breaking into a store if caught. It's now up to the court system. And DearbornNotByChoice, are you kidding me? "Motivate some ..to commit a more severe crime.... What? That's exactly the kind of stupid comment we don't need. And if that's your thought process, how stupid are you? If Dearborn isn't your choice, I suggest Detroit. That kind of talk belongs there, not here.

As Sam stated, 10 years for robbery is simply too much. There is a reason why out judicial system is effective in its choice of punishment. There is a reasonable punishment for everything and 10 years for a B&E is not justice. I am totally against what these kids did, however, if a B&E gets a 10 year bid, what would an armed robbery get? Capital Punishment? Wrong. An armed robbery carries an average 12-Year bid. Do some logic in your state of mind, 12 years for an armed robbery and 10 years for B&E is not just. What I was explaining is an established economic theory that is IMPLEMENTED in the United States law. Let me explain it better. The punishment for the intensity of the crime should be rational. Having rational punishments better assists authorities and law enforcers bargain and negotiate with the 'criminals' (or 'crime committers' for the lack of a better term). Imagine a world where a Breaking & Entering has a 10 year jail sentence, and an armed robbery carries a 12-Year sentence -> Two 17 year old kids are fleeing for a Break & Enter, might also commit an armed robbery, due to the LITTLE difference in jail time. "Im already doing 10 years, If I get caught for holding this store up it's only 2 more years". This is why they have rational punishment. 10 Years is simply too much.

On another note, please excuse my joking ignorance before & after my real paragraph, that was just to lighten the mood.

Stupid kids lock them up it would be like a rehab for them. But I can't judge anyone you don't know what they go through at home or what they deal with in there everyday life

If they are convicted of B & E and it is their first offense the punishment should be 200 hours of court supervised community service plus restitutuion to the cell store owner and 10 year ban on cell phone ownership.

Knowing both of them especially raychouni, hes a good kid and he made one mistake that im surprised he even did, but they dont deserve 10 years in prison, they deserve to go get an education and move on, i think they learned there lesson by now.

God y'all some broke boys

It doesn't matter. They did the crime. They will do the time. Nothing but trouble and have no futures ahead of them. Going to jail will teach them a lesson and put them on the right path

These kids did wrong but they don't deserve to have their youth ripped from them. If anything give them 10 years of community service, not prison. Create a youth group, do something. Most of all, may Allah be with them on their court date. I do not protect thieves and robbers and people who do haram, but when they do a petty crime at a young age, hard time is just unfair. Aside from that, these boys need a reality check, some role models in their
Life or something

god yall some broke boys
