Sometimes people do things that we will never truly understand.
When crimes like theft are committed out of necessity, it is easier for us to wrap our heads around why a person may have acted the way that they did.

When crimes like theft are committed out of necessity, it is easier for us to wrap our heads around why a person may have acted the way that they did.
This is especially the case when the most vulnerable of our society are targeted.
The 24-year-old entered a Mall Of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, and searched for an innocent bystander to take his rage out on.
So, the perpetrator decided to seek out someone random to carry out his attack.
The event occurred so quickly that the boy's mother was unable to help her son before he was tossed.
He was placed under sedation at the hospital as he suffered head trauma and multiple broken bones.
The hospital cleared him for any "swelling in the brain, spinal cord injuries, nerve damage or life-threatening internal injuries" and he is expected to make a full recovery.
The Family started a Go Fund Me to help with medical costs.
"We continue our request for privacy as we focus on Landen and thank you for respecting our wishes. Just know that we all feel your overwhelming love, prayers and support."
In May, it was reported that Aranda would be pleading guilty to his charges.
He allegedly "showed little emotion" as his sentencing was dolled out.
"Your act was evil and selfish," the statement read, "You chose to listen to the worst parts of yourself that day...that is where your impact on us stops, you will take nothing more from us."
When the judge asked Aranda if he had anything to say regarding his sentencing, he simply replied, "No."
Landen's family has released no further comments on the boy's current condition.
Actions like these may be difficult for us to wrap our heads around, but at least justice has been served in a sense.
