Wow... that facebook page picture section... :|

Also bravo to the old man. If more people stood up like this then the criminals would have second thoughts before they treated everybody as a potential victim.

You've heard of the new game where young people attempt to knock out a stranger and post the video for hilarity on the intarweb? Only this time they attacked a 65 year old man with a means to protect himself.

Yeah, its always sad when a teenager dies, but then I remember MOST of them do it to themselves. Darwin rules!

You want knock out? Get your heart and lungs BLOWN OUT!

Guy had the right to protect himself although I'm not giddy about the death like some people are..

Hopefully the kids that didn't die get charged with murder.

While I hope they get charged with robbery, I don't understand why they should be charged with murder.

Already covered. Decisions and actions have consequences.

As John Steinbeck said, "Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you."

You try to kill an old man and you get dead?

That's justice. That's darwin at work. Just like in nature if a young one sees his buddy get killed by trying to eat a snake, he will tell his buddies not to try to eat or attack a snake. This is pure win in every aspect.

The older i get, the more sense this saying makes to me.

Its called ebonics and Oakland tried to make it an accepted language in their public school system.

It's like hick speak for black people.

Is "mer mar s mer pars serstr" acceptable language there too or are they not as hickey as Georgia?

Eugenics should be applied to people that perpetrate ebonics...

 

[JohnOfSheffield]

Eugenics should be applied to people that perpetrate ebonics...

Or hick speech, or people who are against others rights to their own bodies or marriages...

There'd be like 1 million people in the US and everyone would say "whoa, look at all this space"
