Florida store owner shoots teen in self-defense, killing him

[zipplewrath]

104. Alot of things happen

I've known a few guys that literally just grabbed guns out of "kids" hands. They "knew" the kids and came to the judgement that they were being stupid.

Dangerous? Could be, I was shocked when they told me the stories. Accidents happen, even when the kids are being stupid.

But I'm not foolish enough to think that this woman isn't going to have to ask herself some hard questions. Questions she never asked herself when she put that gun in her pocket every morning. Questions that the internet Rambo's around here with their "kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out" attitude don't like to hear. But you can bet she is asking them. And everyone that sticks that gun in their pocket in the morning should ask themselves BEFORE they shoot a 16 year old. They are questions that more than one cop has had to ask themselves for years after, even though the kid was, or more stupid as this one.

Killing kids isn't nearly as easy or clear as many here would like it to be.
