Cyclist attacked by 3, shoots 2

<< < (2/3) > >>

armed and humorous:
The article didn't say whether the boys had weapons or not.  I would assume if they'd had weapons, especially guns, the media would have picked up on it.  However, I don't think it makes any difference.  I'm nearing that age myself, and if I had three teenage boys gang up on me, and they were physically assaulting me, I would fear for my life.  It is especially relevant since the man was carrying a gun.  Had he opted not to pull and use it, the teens may have gotten him subdued and taken it from him.  No telling what they might have done with it at that point.  If all they had were their fists, they should have known better than to bring them to what might have turned out to be a gun fight (what, they never even thought about that possibility?...too bad).

I don't feel bad for the boys at all. This better show the 2 survivors what a waste of a life being a criminal is.

"Julius Johnson, a sixteen year old on probation..."

11 am on Wednesday.  Must not have been a school day.  Too bad someone had to die, but good thing it was the innocent 65 year old.

licensed and not afraid to use it.

Per the article: "Adams added the victim did not provoke the attack, could not get away and feared for his life."   
This is a very important statement when having to use your firearm to defend yourself. 

Glad the guy was not hurt, but I do not feel sorry for the juvenile delinquents.  Hopefully the 2 still alive learn something from this experience.
