[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You leave. You leave and you call the police. He had time to leave and call the police. At the end of the day, it was a cell phone. Leave it. You can get a new cell phone; you can’t get back a dead teen, or your ruined life.

You leave and you call the police.

It’s like we tell our kids: you don’t fight, you don’t hit, you don’t get violent, you walk away and ask for help.[/quote]

He was under no obligation to leave. He wanted to keep looking for the phone. They didn’t have to surround him, continue to harrass him, and start a physical altercation first.[/quote]

Never said they were justified in doing what they did. What I did say was—in any escalating, dangerous situation—YOU LEAVE. And he had the opportunity to do so. Now a teen is dead, and he will go to jail for life or will have some other significant sentence. He will be separated from his family. He will pay exorbitant legal fees. He will think about this every day for the rest of his life. And a teen is dead. If that was your teenage son or daughter, would you have wanted this guy to “stand his ground”? You walk away. Period.[/quote]

I hate living in a world like this. Where people get to be aggressive a$$holes and my only option (according to you) is to walk away. It ain’t right. Eff that sh!t.[/quote]

OK, keep “living in a world” where teenagers get stabbed to death and the guy who inflicted the wounds has his life completely ruined forever, even if he gets a lenient sentence. Because even if he gets minimal time, this will haunt his life forever. You keep living in THAT world. Shrug.[/quote]

A person surrounded by a taunting group has every right to protect himself.[/quote]

God gave him two legs with which to protect himself by walking away. When people start coming toward you and saying things you don’t like, you can leave and rejoin your group. But this guy was spoiling for “self-defense.” He was spoiling for a fight. Hope he enjoyed gutting those people; his few minutes of giving into his desire for vengeance have now cost him essentially the rest of his life. Even if he doesn’t end up behind bars for the maximum amount of time, he will be a convicted murderer. Guilty. [/quote][/quote]

That Asian woman tried to walk away and the perps came back for more. You assume that they would let him walk away.[/quote]
