They picked the wrong guy to rob

HOORAH!!

Not a good idea to mug a marine.

This guy is a ninja.

This guy stabbed to death a 17 Year old girl.

The guy stabbed to death someone who had jumped on his back while three other people, two with guns, had him cornered.

I'd do the same thing. Not his fault the girl made that choice.

Do I rejoice in her death? Absolutely not. Do I rejoice that an innocent man is basically unhurt after being attacked by four thugs? Absolutely.

I completely agree. I doubt the victim is happy she's dead either, but when you choose to attack someone, you run the risk that they will attack back. I am sad for the girl and her family though. Seventeen is awfully young to die.

best to get scum like that off the planet as early as possible. Gender has nothing to do with it.

Ditto. Sad, very sad and really over nothing important other then possibly drug money or just down on there luck. :(

His actions were justified, I just did not feel like giving him high five's for it.

most of the folk I know who've been in similar situations (having to kill/seriously injure someone to defend themselves) arent really looking to get high fives either.

proverbial 'no win' situation.

I would feel sick about having to kill someone to defend myself, but then I would look at my children who still have their dad and the feeling wouldn't last long.

But I certainly wouldn't want to have to tell the story over and over to people who, while well meaning and simply interested I'm sure, want to hear about the ordeal.

He defended himself from being attacked by four people. This may not be PC, but he gets a high five from me.

If you and three of your "friends" attack and rob me at gunpoint, you are a waste of water & carbon and need to be off this planet ASAP.

She made her choice, and she paid the price. I have no simpathy for her. Sorry.

Gosh, twice in 2 days?


Why is it still so hot outside... I thought hell would be freezing over by now...

No offense SM, but if someone tried to do to you what they did to him, I'd have them hauled off to the insane asylum. I'm picturing a 17 y.o. girl jumping on you to attack you... and I laugh.

You'd be welcome to scoop up her remains and haul them off to the insane asylum. Hell, all I'd have to do is fall on her and she'd be a stain on the cement. ;p

17 is old enough to know better. If she's the type of 17-y/o that hangs out with murderous thugs bearing firearms and robbing people... Sorry, I just can't feel *too* bad that she's no longer around. Not saying I'd want to be the one to take her, life, but how bad am I supposed to feel? I mean, honestly.

Yay marine. A pocket knife vs. two guns? I'm impressed.

What difference does it really make if it was a girl or a boy? You f up like that and the consequenses don't care what your gender is.

I can't imagine ANY of the 16,17, or 18 year olds I know doing something like this. It's terrible that we live in a world where someone so young can attempt such a horrible thing.


It's a pity she died, I would have rather seen her put in jail for her crime, and then, hopefully, have the chance to turn her life around and do some good in the world.
