    Story Highlights
    Roberto Rodriguez, 57, was shot near an overpass in Cobb County.

He was robbed at gunpoint by two teens on New Year’s Day.
The teens were sentenced to a combined 28 years.

Cody Austin Gaines and Blake Allen Sergel had plans to break into cars on New Year’s Day.

But what Gaines didn’t bet on was Sergel firing shots at Roberto Rodriguez, leaving the homeless veteran paralyzed near an overpass.

Rodriguez told a Cobb County judge he’d be dead if Gaines hadn’t stopped Sergel from firing more shots.

This is a travesty, trashy white youth doing this sort of stuff, they exist now and I guess, they always have.  The opiate epidemic I think puts an extra spin on things, though I don't know if that is in play in this story. Total hoods, this Sergel fellow must be a lot worse of the two, he started firing at this poor homeless fellow.
