personally id rather fight back than just be shot and killed with nothing to show for it.

A man delivering the Lansing State Journal who police said was shot in the arm during an attempted carjacking was one of two victims of early Thursday morning shootings.That incident happened at about 4:45 a.m. in the 1400 block of Ada Street, near Baker Street, police said.
Two men wearing bandanas and hooded sweat shirts walked up to Wayne Houts' two-door Saturn and attempted a carjacking, said Lansing police Lt. Noel Garcia.
Houts, 40, resisted and was shot in the arm, Garcia said. He was able to drive away and flag down a police officer. He was treated at a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
