by | Aug 31, 2013 | POLITICS

Looks like this past Wednesday night was a rough night for 2 ‘thugs’ out in Charlottesville – These two idiots, Johnny Calderon Jr., 19 (right), and Gerald Allen (18) (left) tried to rob two UVA students at the 2300 block of Fontaine Avenue – but instead of coughing up the cash, the two unnamed students beat the living shit out of their would-be robbers.

Here’s more from NBC 29:

Johnny Calderon Jr., 19, is facing four charges: two for attempted robbery, one for pointing a firearm and one for using a firearm in the commission of a felony.

Calderon has a lot of bruising on his face, but he was not as badly injured as Gerald Allen. Allen’s right eye is swollen shut. Allen, 18, is facing a pair of attempted robbery charges.

Police say the suspects, both from Charlottesville, had to be taken to the hospital before going to jail Tuesday night.
