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".

no arguments there. still happy the kid got shot.

never said anything about karma defense, only karma punishment.

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".

Holy shit you are stupid.

Yes, if someone breaks into my home they can expect to get shot.

That does not mean, however, that I am eager to shoot people. That means that I am prepared to defend myself and my property.

You made quite a leap there, probably because you are a fucking moron.

While throwing rocks at cars isn't a great past time, I don't think shooting a GD crossbow at him is a legit response. He could have killed the kid.

So what all you vigilante justice folks are saying here is that if something damages your property you have the right to potentially kill them?

Ya, they kid needs to be taught a lesson but I don't think shooting people with bolts is the correct response for ever injustice against you.

don't want to get shot by a crossbow? don't throw rocks at people or their cars.

If you are still in danger of the assault with a deadly weapon I say yes. If you are no longer in danger you don't have the right to go back and assault. We need a timeline of events b/c I find it hard to believe this guy had a loaded crossbow in his car and pulled it up and shot the kid after 1 pass by him. Who knows though?

so if you're no longer in danger, the kid gets off scott free, maybe a slap on the wrist?
fuck that. he's getting an arrow up his ass.

You are welcoming and hoping for a home invasion of some sorts, in order to shoot and kill another human being - that's how much of a pathetic coward you are.

You will get what you deserve.

It really doesn't make sense when there are so many ways to shoot and kill another human being under the color of law & country. I'd say it's more a lack of ambition than straight up cowardice. :hmm:

im pretty sure he would get convicted with assault with a deadly weapon. just because its a crossbow doenst mean he will get off. if the passenger shot the kid with a gun would you have a different view?

Well, it wouldn't have been as funny.

Do people realize he could have VERY easily been killed?

Are all of you condoning a lethal response to that scenario? Just looking at page 1 of this topic is an interesting lesson in human behavior.

This incident is likely gang related. No normal 16 year old teen walks around shirtless in California unless they're at the beach, just as no normal teens drives around with a crossbow. Walking around shirtless in this semi-ghetto neighborhood (pockets of good and bad areas) is a taunt. What probably happened is that shirtless teen got confronted and taunted the occupants of the SUV with rocks. Usually, this will end in a fistfight. But in this case, there was no fistfight because the shirtless teen was probably a lot bigger, muscular. Well, we all know what happened next. I highly doubt we'll hear more about the story until the perpetrators are caught, because cops like to keep things vague to see who has firsthand knowledge?

Where did you infer that I am welcoming and hoping for a home invasion?

Again, you are making giant leaps and assumptions. You are a fucking moron.

I thought we just couldn't use the word "savage"?

nope. you can't use savage. though sausage seems ok.

even when the people (don't care what color i got yelled at for calling some white sava..sausages "savages") that when they act like it.

read a story about two brothers who were arguing. one clocked the other in the face, he fell, hit concrete and died. sucks.

or any vegetables that rhyme with it. i got a week ban for that. can't eat that vegetable now due to psychological distress caused by mods :\
