5 teens v. 1 old man

In the article, four juveniles are facing possible felony murder charges when they attempted to beat and rob a sick 64 year old. The (surviving) kids learned a valuable lesson: don't rob a guy who has a gun. After being punched a kicked, the old guy shot one of the little punks in the head. The best part is that the four survivors could be charged with the murder of their friend (I guess WI doesn't have the "defendant's hand" exception to the felony murder rule). I love America.

The people of WI are not as smart as I gave them credit for, and if they are, their progeny (sp) clearly do not share in it...

A life lesson that bears repeating in other places, like, say, Pasadena.

Whether in Oregon or Pasadena, hopefully I'll get to teach that same lesson.

I do hope that was an attempt at humor. I can't think of any feeling worse than that of knowing that you are the reason another person is no longer eating, breathing, sleeping, spending time with his/her family, growing older, reminiscing, playing, crying... being, and I would never wish that on anyone else

For me, the truth would be somewhere in the middle. I don't honestly want have the chance to shoot someone, and I'd probably be upset about it. On the other hand, I don't think it would be the kind of thing to bother me for a long period of time or fill me with guilt.
