Unlike what George Zimmerman did to Trayvon Martin, these fine people of Detroit didn't take his life. He should be thanking them for that they didn't kill him to "stand their ground".
Fine???

We can see what they are.

This story is just sad. I feel terrible for the driver. Not only does he have to deal with the sadness and remorse of hitting a child, he has to deal with the anger and frustration of being beaten for a mistake.


It's pretty sad that nobody there had the wit to diffuse the situation before it got violent.

Now if the guy had a shotgun or an assault rifle, then we are talking business.

Stop watching action movies, it distorts your peception
..A pea shooter? are you kidding me? Have you seen the damage a 9x19 hollow point round can do? Would you take on to the chest?

Don, stop basing firearms and their ability from what you see in movies...

Yeah, every time a mob of white thugs beat and rob a black motorist for hitting a white kid, they don't even post threads about it.
Uh; please post up some links there.

Which is a very sad thing. Speaking of which, how is the kid he hit with his car?

What crime did the man do? Was he drunk? No. Was he fleeing the area? No,

I carry a glock 22, but I'm not stupid enough to think that it's an effective tool against an angry mob of 30 + thugs.

Fortunately, the youngster has no broken bones and should recover.

How do you know this? Just because you can not do something does not mean everyone else is incapable of doing that same thing...

"You might fail, so dont try to defend yourselves" What breeds this in a person?

Then again its his right to defend himself.
