I have a problem with the kids death being celebrated...

So you can't answer the question directly. I don't care about your pissing match.

I didn't contend otherwise, so I have no need to answer...

I can sympathize with your position to an extent - specifically the celebration in the kids death. I'm sure if you ask the woman who defended herself, she would have rather the kid never have been there in the first place instead of killing someone. I don't think any sane person takes delight in seeing someone die. I'm sure everyone in this thread would prefer to see the kid in this article being an honest, upstanding member of society who wanted to make a future for himself instead of a dead burglar. Unfortunately, the kid chose to break into a home and try to steal from a homeowner. When the homeowner encountered the young man on her property, she had to make a snap decision about protecting herself. You have no idea what this kid would have done coming face to face with a witness to his crime - especially if she got a good look at his face...

XACLY!

Yep, well said miko.

I'm sure they'll be glad to know that.

We got into this debate for another incident (remember the one about the home owner who shot the burglar on the street after he fled?)... And someone pointed out this is NOT true. If the shooting occurred on the homeowner's property, it is not a lock as a homicide.

Again, I have -ZERO- sympathy for the family or the burglar.

You can call me whatever you like, especially that one poster who's going to refer to me as a racist because of that stance, because I don't give a damn if you're black, white, brown, blue, purple, green with orange stripes.... , but I grew up knowing that there is RIGHT and WRONG, and that this thief did WRONG.

The burglar paid the ultimate price, but he's the one that initiated it by doing wrong.

great post Miko, but I have a feeling that it makes too much sense for uofmemphis.

I am not surprised by the opposing stance. They probably think that the homeowner should have given the kid the clothes.

That Guy might have even returned later to get Her as She was leaving Her home or getting into Her car. After all if He got away, He knew where She lived, likely not the other way around

so laughing that a criminal got killed is a celebration? got it!

It's not. But UofM doesn't even have two firing neurons up there.

This board and semantics, geez....

Ok it's not a celebration. How about don't seem so happy that he's dead? I think that is the only point being made here.

Say what you want, but "Bwahahaha he got what he deserved " just doesn't seem like an appropriate response to a 17 year old getting killed in the middle of a petty burglary. Doesn't mean the kid wasnt at fault, but everything doesn't have to be so black and white. You can think the kid made a bad choice without being so happy he's dead.

Quote:Relatives of a 17-year-old are angry the teenager was shot and killed by a homeowner who police say was protecting her property.

The sister of the teen who died identified him as Trevon Johnson. She said he was a student at D. A. Dorsey Technical College.

“I don’t care if she have her gun license or any of that. That is way beyond the law… way beyond,” said Johnson’s cousin Nautika Harris. “He was not supposed to die like this. He had a future ahead of him. Trevon had goals… he was a funny guy, very big on education, loved learning.”

Quote:“What’s wrong with her,” asked Johnson’s sister Nisha Johnson. “She did not have to shoot him.”

“It’s no reason she should have waited until I think he walked out the yard to try to shoot him,” said Harris. “If she called the police already why would she shoot him?”

Relatives said they don’t believe Johnson stole anything from the home but detectives would not confirm that.

“You have to look at it from every child’s point of view that was raised in the hood,” said Harris. “You have to understand… how he gonna get his money to have clothes to go to school? You have to look at it from his point-of-view.”

Really? You think it's unbelievable that family members would act irrationally at the death of their loved one?

I suppose if it happened to you, you'd give a press conference and explain that your child deserved to be killed because they were doing something wrong. All with a straight face of course.

Tell the lady that shot him that it was just a petty burglary, like I said, I have no remorse for somebody that breaks the law and gets killed. Wanna tell me how I should drink my coffee too?
