....Time 2006 Man of the Year :>Mother and Son Open Fire on a Group of Youths Looking for Fight
2007-02-27
My goodness! I saw this news article online and thought, "Holy Cow, what is this world coming to" - that would cause this kind of response from a mother and her teenage son? I'm thinking what an over-reaction to a group of young men, anywhere between 12-30 (30 is pretty scarey), according to witnesses, showing up at another teen's house looking for a fight. Why didn't the mother call the police or something less radical? Please read the article here to get pertinent information.
Further down in the article it states the family had been harassed for years because the father is an out-spoken community activist engaged in trying to improve his neighborhood and crack-down on crime. Therefore, he had installed a suveillance camera on his premises, I guess, to film this alleged harassment. He turned the video over to the police and claimed his wife and son were defending themselves.
Okay, I'm thinking - how long before we see copycat scenarios of this nature? In one sense, it's good. Good, decent, honest-working people are fed up with crime and the laws set up to favor the perpetrator and are going to take care of business themselves. On the other hand, it's really bad because this kind of taking-the-law-into-one's-own-hand can get out of control like wild fire! How did we come this far?
How do y'all feel about this?
