Crime has been down in Kennesaw, Georgia for 25+ years ever since they passed a law requiring every head of household to own a gun.

25 years murder-free in 'Gun Town USA'
Kennesaw, Georgia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Family Circle magazine still put it on their "10 Best Towns for Families" list last year.

Morton Grove is also on that list, also has low crime, and has a gun ban.

I'm glad I don't have a daughter, I just know I'd end up with a life sentance in prison if she was messed with by thugs like those guys.

You have got to be ****ing kidding me...

The guy watched his 12 year old get groped. I don't want to meet a father who wouldn't get upset at the site of that. It's unfortunate that the father didn't have a carry permit, as there would probably be a few less scumbags in the world right now.

Yea, because Minnesota issues carry permits to just anyone who asks, and there's such a significant history of people with carry permits accidentally discharging their firearm in public places. Why let facts get in the way of absurd hyperbole?

This situation bothers me. For one I am upset that such crimes happen. Why a handful of young adults felt the need to stomp the heck out of one man is horrendous, and for what ever the reason, completely uncalled for. On the other hand I hold a weary eye towards the reactionary attitudes that this situation brings up. Get a gun? Defend yourself? This situation is nothing new. Maybe for Vallyfair or Minnesota, but this sort of stuff has been happening in other parts of the US for decades.

Ok, this makes me furious. I can't imagine being in the dad's position watching their kid get groped. Obviously, the natural response is to protect their young and call out who ever did such a horrid thing. Do these attackers think that they are so superior over everyone else that they can get away with everything? It's ridiculous. If I was a mom right now and I saw my child get groped by men or women, let's just say, I'd be in Jail. I agree, what is the world coming to? I feel so bad for the daugher and father. I hope this man is ok, and the daughter ok mentally. This makes me absolutely sick. Yes, this is really going to help black people get a better image. Sorry for bringing race into it, but it's true. Just what we need are more black people acting like idiots. It's just proving stereotypes which is the worse thing about it. Idiots. It's instances like this where people will have to work harder to get away from stereotypes, because of someones idiotic act. They are are group of individuals, but they are affecting more people than they know. I know from experience. Alot of the people I know also have to act overly friendly, just so they don't get the, "clutch purse" look, while they are passing people. It's sad.

People who are saying to carry a gun, please don't carry one. I'd carry a cellphone with the emergency set to '911'.
