It’s time, the judge said, for Jeremy Walzack to “grow up.”

The 22-year-old London man, with rings on almost every finger, studs in his ears and dressed in a white hoodie and matching nylon pants, listened from the prisoner’s box.

“You are going to have to grow up, you have to control your impulsivity, you have to deal with your bravado,” Superior Court Justice Helen Rady said.

The young man, who portrayed himself as a wannabe gang member and a hood, was dealt a hard lesson when he was sent to jail for a mandatory year yesterday for what the Crown described as a “cowardly” act.

A jury found Walzack guilty in November of assault with a weapon and use of an imitation firearm while uttering threats for an attack in Vauxhall Park on Aug. 27, 2007.

Hey, if they’re lucky, maybe they can grow up to be Kid Rock and beat up a black guy with several of their friends at a Waffle House someday!
