A 65-year-old man shot and killed a teenager after the boy and his friends knocked the man off his bicycle and tried to assault him, Pennsylvania authorities say.
According to the story, it's a clear case of self defense. Of course the Huffington Post writes a headline that makes it sound like he just started shooting. He was attacked by 3 younger, stronger youths and was receiving a beating.
Here's the full article
The comments are more than 50 to 1 in favor of what the older gent did. I understand it too. Since I have become disabled, I couldn't fight off one young strong teen. Let alone 3.
But the great Huffpo reporters don't tell us all the story'
Shooter was teens' third random victim Wednesday morning, officials say
Third time is a charm.
The teens knocked the man off his bicycle and onto the ground in their third random robbery attempt in about an hour's time, said Berks County District Attorney John Adams.
Adams said, the teens went into West Reading and assaulted an elderly man and another man before targeting the bicyclist.
Now there is a dead 16 year old. I feel bad for his family, but maybe if his family had taught him right from wrong, this might not have happened. I wonder if the one that's wounded learned anything? Or the one in jail? I do know one thing the wounded one learned, getting shot hurts.
It was only 2 weeks ago that a older gentleman was assaulted in Philadelphia and was nearly beaten to death. Beaten so bad his eye orbits were broken. 6 teens against 1 veteran with 1 eye. here.
When you are out walking or riding, be very aware of your surroundings.
THE FOUR RULES
1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.
2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.
3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.
4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.
Winston Churchill said
"A GENTLEMAN, SELDOM, IF EVER, NEEDS A GUN.
BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE NEEDS IT VERY BADLY!"
"A GENTLEMAN, SELDOM, IF EVER, NEEDS A GUN.
BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE NEEDS IT VERY BADLY!"

Sam Adams, more than beer
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen”
― Samuel Adams

Lincoln on power
"We must prevent these things being done, by either congresses or courts — The people — the people — are the rightful masters of both Congresses, and courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it —" Abraham Lincoln
