Sharon Bush threatens to blow up Florida courthouse

What a delicious juxtaposition of a name!

BARTOW, Fla. -- The mother of a 12-year-old car thief stormed out of a Polk County courtroom Thursday. She threatened to blow the place up out of anger over the 10-year sentence that was just handed to her daughter. "This is a very serious, serious event," said Judge Charles B. Curry.

Curry sentenced 12-year-old Dekyra Bush to a total of 10 years in state custody for taking a joyride in a car back in June and then hitting two Polk County sheriff's cruisers before deputies fired a total of nine shots into the car to stop her.

As she was being led away by bailiffs, Dekyra's mother burst out of the courtroom. The judge had Sharon Bush brought back before him, but didn't find her in contempt. She could have spent up to six months in jail, but instead once again left the courtroom without her daughter.

The woman, who weeks ago railed against the system that exonerated deputies for firing on her kid, now had another cause to complaint about. "I'm gonna blow this #@%$ up," Bush said. "That's how upset I am."

Terroristic threats.

7. A 12-y.o. gets TEN YEARS for a joyride!?!

There are recidivist adults who get less time for serious crimes such as GBH.

The world has gone mad.

8. HAHAHA! I thought you meant "Sharon" Bush fmr. wife of Neil Bush

"Dekyra" Bush seems like an african american name I doubt its the same Bush :P

9. Yes, Sharon is the mom and Dekyra the daughter

I agree that Dekyra seems like an African American name, which explains the harsh sentence.
