[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a 51 year old woman and no bleeping way am I turning my back exposing myself to serious injury while under active attack by a group of drunken hostile teenagers.

Anyone suggesting this is a wise or recommended course of action is an idiot. Full stop.

As a former rural red state America prosecutor, I’m sickened at the charges leveled against this man. They aren’t supported by the known evidence. The state is trying to coerce him into a guilty plea to lesser charges rather than grapple with the complexity and gray in the case and enduring the ire of some of the public - as any truly good prosecutor following the mandate to ‘seek justice, not merely convictions’ should expect to every day of his or her career.

The force of nature that is a parent with a dead kid drives far too many prosecutors to doggedly pursue wrongful convictions in order to quiet the outraged victim family. Sadly in some cases, victims are victims of their own idiocy first and foremost.

These kids had ZERO reason to interact with this guy. If they didn’t like the looks of him they could have floated out of his reach, easily. Surrounding him, yelling insults and accusations, touching him - they absolutely provoked a confrontation and it is entirely within the reasonable standard for a man outnumbered 4 or 5 to 1 to muster all means available for self defense.

He’ll be acquitted.[/quote]
Thank you for weighing in. You are correct on all counts.[/quote]

You people might have a leg to stand on if a *second group* totally unaffiliated with the first people who were creeped out by him had not intervened, and the dude PUNCHED A WOMAN in the second group. This guy was clearly all ready to fight, fight, fight. Welp, congrats, buddy. And also? Multiple stories from multiple news outlets said he thought the kids had the cell phone, as in he likely accused them of stealing. He was riled up and ready to go.

He will be sentenced. [/quote]
Wonder if that was a group of adults or another group of drunk teens. Where’s the video on that?[/quote]
