I'm guessing he approached the mob of kids and wasn't able to escape in time.

Truth is, the gun probably would've made them think twice about attacking and would've prevented the attack from happening to begin with. If the victim fired the gun, they would probably scram like cockroaches in all directions........ then they would probably call the police and claim their lives were threatened by the mean white man....... national news steps in, mean whitey is on front page of all websites, Al Sharpton, Lynch, etc.
He could have called the cops before confronting a mob of teenagers.

I wouldn't have confronted them in the first place. I would have called the police.

I suppose there are people out there, like this guy, who are old-fashioned enough to believe it's safe to tell a bunch of teens to get off his car and move along.

Please reread the words you quoted. I said "if they missed you." not you missing them.

Such as if you type the following;

I don't give a ****

or

All black people are ******s

or

Go **** yourself

Another words, your post that I quoted looked as if the N word was typed as what you may have speculated he said.

Regardless, whether he came out offering apple pie and Bible quotes, or said something derogatory, it was still no excuse for people to then attack him, much less beat him to within an inch of his life.
On that hopefully we agree.

`
The censored word I put in quotes was only four letters long so It couldn't have been the N word. Why would you assume a four letter word is the N word?

Also since I said "happened to him is horrible. I am surprised and happy he survived" Why would you hope we agree it was inexcusable? We obviously agree it was inexcusable.

They really shouldn't, especially a large group of teens. Teens do horrible things. They attack people in groups, the gang rape people, they destroy property in groups. Teenage men pumped full of testosterone not understanding the proper ways to let out their aggression are dangerous.

Ah where was George Zimmerman when you needed him. I am sure he carries a high capacity magazine plus reloads.

Just off the top of my head, I can name some police officers who were protecting their life.
