FALMOUTH – A 14-year-old boy was arrested yesterday after he pushed a senior citizen off a dock because he “thought it would be funny,” police said.  The North Falmouth teen – whose name was not released because he is a juvenile – was at Megansett Beach when the 2:20 p.m. incident occurred. Police said the boy ran up behind the 71-year-old victim, who was fishing off the dock with his grandson, and pushed him off the dock and into the ocean.The man suffered lacerations to both knees and lost his prescription glasses, police said. Although the boy fled into the woods by the Talk of the Town Diner, several people at the beach knew his identity and immediately called police.Once arrested, the boy was allowed to make one phone call. Police said he chose to call a friend to “brag and laugh” about what he had done. police said.

Let me state this loud and clear.   This kid deserves to get the chair.    I mean if you’re going to push an old dude into the sea and then brag about it afterwords you are a total scumbag and it’s only a matter of time until you kill somebody just for kicks.  But having said that nobody is going to tell me that this isn’t funny either.    Because I know for a fact that if I saw this go down I’d still be laughing about it right now.  If that makes me an asshole than so be it. 

PS – I may not know much about fleeing the scene of a crime but I do know you’re going to get bagged 9 out of 10 times when you run past “The Talk of the Town Diner”
