That's the new way of peace in Amerikkka. The kids should have opened fire in response. That's the Kap way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â On the bright side, if you ever feel the urge to throw baseball sized rocks at people, there are a bunch of people who don't seem to care if you did it to them.

BigSqwert Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 What a bunch of f***ing hypocrites in here.

StrangeSox Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 It's coming right for us! Â The question isn't whether it is resonable to defend your own life. The question is if it was reasonable to feel your own life was in danger in that situation and if the appropriate way to defend yourself was to shoot a teenager. Â Should riot police be able to open up on protest crowds if someone decides to throw something at them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 The statements being thrown around in here from the extremes are pretty absurd. Its not possible to really know if this was justified or not, with what little information we have. The attitudes towards both law enforcement AND the teenager are pretty crass.

bmags Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 sure...but i think if this wasn't a Mexican (literally) we are talking about there would be outrage about killing a teenager. But, lucky for everyone he was just a Mexican and we'll soon see the statement that the officer acted correctly considering he felt threatened. And the rest of us can continue to hypothesize how much a sixty lb. rock would hurt if whipped by a sixteen year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
