And yet - every jerk off came out to publically wet themselves about how great it is to harm and kill someone; that someone may have not done anything at all.

That's why I always hestitate to jump on that bandwagon...especially around here. It's that kind of mentality that gets innocent people killed, or even people guilty of relatively minor crimes. Let the law handle it.

Doesn't matter. The boy did not kill the driver so handing out street justice is not warranted.

JulesMaximus is right. The crossbow should have been shot AFTER the car has crashed AND the all the occupants in it are dead.

After all, good things might have happened from people throwing rocks at cars. The rocks might have caused the car to swerve and enter a magic fantasy land where there are no consequences.

I like how he is allowed to continue to post here, even though half his posts are pure race-baiting.

That's the hilarious part

Hey Nick - when are you going to link us all the news stories that covered all the home invaders you shot and killed?

Also, I like how you ignore the subtle racists comments made most of the posters on these forums here about African Americans in the news, but some how choose to just focus entirely on my posts.

You are making yourself pretty transparent in your intentions and agenda - so, it's not making you cute or anything; stop trying to hide it.

Wait, so you're saying the crossbow was used to prevent the crime?

Thanks for proving my point and ignoring the other part of my post.

You claimed you would shoot some sort of locksmith you ended up ripping off, if he came back to your house. And, since you are so eager to shoot and kill people, link us all the news stories on all the criminals you put away with "yo gat".

Throwing rocks at people or people in cars isn't a crime? Trying to impair someone's driving and potentially causing them to crash and die isn't a crime? Is that what you're saying?

Are you saying that there shouldn't be some punishment UNTIL someone is dead?

Stupid kids can run around and do stupid shit, but YOU can't stop them until a building is burned down or someone dies? Unless of course you're the 'law'?

Everybody step back until their parents or the cops come to stop it! Obviously they had poor parenting and little respect for the law, else they wouldn't be doing this.

the crossbow didn't kill the kid so it wasn't deadly. isn't that your logic?

anyway, I'm not gonna change your opinion and you're not gonna change mine, so peace out thread.

rocks are deadly, and i posted a number of different links to that effect.

OK, I agree that rocks CAN be deadly, so deadly force can be use TO STOP THE ASSAULT OR PROTECT YOURSELF. We really need to know if this guy was still in critical danger when he shot the crossbow or if it was in retaliation. If he did it in self defense, like they were continue to chuck stuff at him over and over, then he might have a self-defense case. If he got pissed b/c his vehicle got damage and it scared the $hit out hit so he decide to shoot the kid, then he's got problems with the law.

Didn't read the link I posted 1/2 hour ago I guess...

Regardless of what you and all the other keyboard vigilantes in here think the guys in the Toyota are not heros, they have now commited a crime and are being sought.

Hassen said the boys got on a bus, and when they got off the bus, two young men in a black Toyota RAV 4 drove up. Someone in the SUV fired a crossbow, and an arrow hit one of the boys in the abdomen. He was treated at the hospital and is now at home, 10News reported.

Police don't know yet if the Toyota had been hit by rocks. The two teenagers in it, described as 16- to 17-year-old Latinos, got away and were last seen heading south on Linda Vista Road.

I'll save you the trouble of trying to find it. They weren't trying to stop an assault or protect themselves.

Right, and that's probably the kids story "I don't know why he shot me, I didn't do nuffin'!"

Because you were there...GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT!!!

Fact remains, that police are investigating the incident and classified it as an assault with a deadly weapon.

You don't answer a crime with another crime.

You often answer a crime with what would otherwise be another crime, but isn't in that particular situation.

That's not the whole story, though. We need to hear from the other side.

It may be a whole different version of events.

Good luck with that...

Do you think that if the guys driving the suv thought they were acting in self defense or not commiting a crime that they would have fled?

Yeeeeeehhhhhhhaaaaaw, peeeeeppppppaaaaaw, ah-muh gonna tell BoberFett to ignore me!!!!! Yeeeeeeeehhhhhhhaaaaawwww! That'll teach im a lessun, eh paw?
 
A 100 years ago they had a better way to confront wayward adolescents. As groups of adults carrying double barreled shot guns would confront them. It was either submit to a severe spanking then, or run away. Run away did not work either, because when the range got over 15 yards, shot guns loaded with small pieces of Rock salt have just enough poop to pieces a layer of clothes and skin, without causing serious life threatening injuries.

But anyone hit in the ass by a pieces of rock salt, had a long time to ponder the lesson.
 
ATOT detectives have failed this time.
Think about it...

Nobody drives around windows down, crossbow loaded just waiting for somebody to fuck with them. If rocks were thrown at this car, then the guys in the car would DEFINITELY have to turn around and do a second pass to shoot at the kids. Even if they were only doing like 20mph, there is no way you can grab a weapon out of the back, load it, roll down window, aim and fire AFTER the rocks were thrown and you realized wtf was going on. That just isn't possible.

They made a second pass and came back and shot the kids. That isn't just at all. I think both people need charged here.

Also, LOL at the ATOT racists that would flock back to this thread to change their position if the title was changed to reflect the true story.

not self defense then, just karma.

(oh fuck i stumbled back into this thread. :facepalm🙂

I knew there was more to it. Nobody shoots a crossbow that quickly in self defense. Also NS1, last time I checked you are likely not to be convicted of self defense, but I'm pretty sure you can be convicted of a crime even if you claim the "karma defense".
