A weekend assault has turned into a murder case after police say the victim died.
Police say Leroy Jenkins, Jr. of Kerr Street in Jacksonville has been arrested on first degree murder charges.

Police say Saturday 52-year-old Angerina Bradley was assaulted by Jenkins on Newberry Street. They say Jenkins and another man were involved in an argument and Bradley tried to intervene.

Due to her head injuries, Bradley was transferred to Pitt County Memorial Hospital where she died Tuesday.

This is the only online article I can find, but the news report on TV mentioned that the victim only received a few fist-blows to the face and head. This is what I think of when people imply that using your firearm to defend yourself against an assailant without a weapon is wrong. An unarmed, completely natural human can quickly and easily kill another, without the use of any tool.

On a side note, I wonder if he plays World of Warcraft?

Also, look forviral street-fight videos.

Lotsa people get knocked out by a blow the face or head, or stunned and knocked down.

The person isthen at the mercy ofthe assailant. Getting stomped to death or kicked into grave bodily injury while defenseless is entirely possible.

best way to kill someone with you hands (if in the situation without a firearm) swift jab to the throat or shove your finger through their eye until it cant go any further. breaking the neck is even easier if you can get them in the position.

but like you said, society will see you as a "bad guy" if you kill someone with your hands. kinda makes you re think taking martial arts

Does that mean I need to worry if I see Walker Texas Ranger walking my way? Looking all angry, constipated and plain as upset as a divorcing husband without a good attorney?

I always thought he put the "laughter" in "manslaughter" personally - or is that what you meant to type? ;-/

Can't watch that program - too much police brutality don't you know.

He does OC though.

Virtually anything can be used as a weapon and when the SHTF that is what one should be able to use - anything. First choice would be that which stop the threat.

The first thing that crossed my mind is that he really didn't stick to the plan this time...

...the first Concealed Permit shooting in Texas that I heard of was in Dallas...a man in traffic was approached by a road rager who reached into his window and began beating him severely...it earned him a .40 bullet center chest...cost him his life...and the shooter was justified...most states authorize deadly force to prevent death or great bodily harm....no weapon specified....citizens aren't bound by a continuum of force policy(and, in my opinion, neither should police and security be....)

That's great, good comment sheepdog, a good reason to always be able to carry almost no matter where you are, cause you never know when tshtf,lol. To bad we can't carry everywhere unfortunately, but with enough people petitioning and trying to make good changes in carrying altogether, I believe stuff will eventually work themselves out. Imagine if that guy couldn't carry or wasn't allowed to carry, it would of ended up being a very sad and tragic story.
