    Good for him! I hope he does not face legal issues because of this.

    With all that is happening in Philly, murders on a record pace this year, I think this is a good thing, maybe (not likely) the punks will start thinking about what they are doing.

    The rules change when you shoot an unarmed teen. Yeah, I know the arguments but they just do. I wish him well but fear he may wind up facing charges. This will be a good one to follow. I might have done the same thing in his shoes, by the way.

    Similar situation here on Tuesday with good results.

    It seems to me if he didn't do something the teen thugs may have ended up with the weapon.
    And used it on him,and possibly other victims.

    As I said, I know the arguments but the rules are you can not meet force with greater force. Add the fact these thugs were under age just complicates the issue.

    I guess the 3 to 1 odds may play into it, along with the fact that how are you to know the age of your attacker? Hope the best for him.

    I did read that last month. I'd say that Bernie Goetz would not have been so fortunate in Today's NYC.

    The local news channel reports that he was held for questioning and then the District Attorney ordered his release without charge. So maybe the good guy does win this round

    http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_1...ike-kills-one/

    "According to the Eagle, police did not release the name of the boy who died but said he was 16-years-old. The other injured teen was reportedly taken to the nearby Reading Hospital and a third was taken in for questioning.

    Police did not release the name of the man, who has not been charged, the Eagle reports."

    That is good news. Some District Attorneys could have gone differently but I'd believe my life in jeopardy in the same circumstances.
