I think he did handle it well. They came out with weapons and you know they would use them on anyone that got in their way. Just wish he could have hit them.

haha... sorry it's not "new" news to you. It might be to others. I just had it emailed to me. It's still good to look at how he handled the situation no matter how "old" it is.

Check it out. Opinions? How could he have handled the situation better?


I assume that when you say "how could he have handled the situation better?" you are referring to him shooting at the car after the perps were "retreating"...



Watch closely, the last perp that slips and almost falls down, as he gets to the passenger side door, he looks back and points his gun (I'm guessing at the guy who was defending his home. After he turns and points the gun, the guy defending his home fires two more shots. If they are "retreating", then turn and point a gun back at the guy, then they are still a threat... He was 100% justified in shooting again... Obviously the person who wrote the article didn't notice this small detail...


Also, the second time they show the clip of the victim shooting into the car, you also see the driver getting into the car. He starts to close the door, then begins to open it back up, maybe he was just trying to get his foot into the door, but if I saw him opening the door back up, I would assume that he may be about to shoot at me...

Honestly, I just thought that it was interesting and wanted to share it. I had about 2 minutes to throw a post up before I went back to working on the website and what you see is what letters got smacked on my keyboard.

i should have mentioned that this news story had been repackaged to look new.
they should have provided the date when it actually occured!
this has happened offen, and leads to confussion.
didnt mean to denigrate anybody,
ill be more polite and instructive next time i need to give a heads up about old "news"
