Chicago: Teen dies days after cops say he was shot during home invasion ... [View all] DonP Aug 2012 OP

Smells like BS. Marinedem Aug 2012 #1

I read the 2nd city cop blog on the incident DonP Aug 2012 #2

Unfuckinbelievable. Marinedem Aug 2012 #3

Unarmed homeowner successfully defends himself. Good outcome. Hoyt Aug 2012 #7

That would be a rather odd interpretation of the events. ManiacJoe Aug 2012 #8

He was unhurt. What's wrong, would you be happier if he shot another one or two? Hoyt Aug 2012 #9

Yes, good outcome. But ManiacJoe Aug 2012 #10

Yes it is. By standing his ground without a gun he prevailed. Hoyt Aug 2012 #11

Are we reading the same article? ManiacJoe Aug 2012 #12

Look, homeowner took action before and during invasion. Maybe not action gun culture would take, Hoyt Aug 2012 #13

We are obviously not reading the same article. ManiacJoe Aug 2012 #14

I dunno, but apparently he has powers that would get him big bucks from James Randi... friendly_iconoclast Aug 2012 #16

Rule #1 for keeping your sanity in a gun thread xxenderwigginxx Aug 2012 #34

I'm always happy when victims of violence crime shoot and preferably kill the perpetrators. spayneuter Aug 2012 #17

Ah, so you are judge, juror, executioner, and a tough guy with a gun or two? Hoyt Aug 2012 #18

If someone is trying to harm me or my family, goddamn right. spayneuter Aug 2012 #19

"14 guns" -- damn that's really something. Hoyt Aug 2012 #20

It's actually a quite small collection, but I'm not about to apologize for it to you. spayneuter Aug 2012 #23

That's right, 14 is a small number for those who abuse guns in our society. Hoyt Aug 2012 #24

It is far smaller than those who abuse pretty much every other thing on the planet. spayneuter Aug 2012 #25

Like others, I think the common view of guns among gun culture is bad for country. Hoyt Aug 2012 #27

Well, at least you've gotten peripherally specific. Would you be willing to answer a few questions? spayneuter Aug 2012 #28

If you do some prep research so that I don't have to answer each of those question from scratch. Hoyt Aug 2012 #29

You consider me a flat earther, birther or worse? spayneuter Aug 2012 #30

God, you guys make it difficult. Debating you guys is like arguing with birthers. Hoyt Aug 2012 #31

now you know how I feel debating with antis gejohnston Aug 2012 #32

But, what you don't understand is a semi-auto is just about as lethal. Hoyt Aug 2012 #35

a katana is even more lethal at short range gejohnston Aug 2012 #36

Fine, you need to leave that at home too. Hoyt Aug 2012 #37

Tragic waste of life slackmaster Aug 2012 #4

bet he got his gun from the gangshow loophole...it's probably some other states fault. ileus Aug 2012 #5

Quick, how many rounds did the gang member have stockpiled? 4th law of robotics Aug 2012 #6

How is this even Jenoch Aug 2012 #21

Maybe they averaged: five went in, four came out petronius Aug 2012 #22
