Grandfather of Oklahoma teen killed by homeowner in burglary says AR15 made for ‘unfair’ fight

Three Oklahoma teenagers were killed last week when they broke into a house and were met by a homeowner with an AR15. Now the grandfather of one of the teenagers is speaking out about his grandson’s death.

According to KTUL-TV, Leroy Schumacher, grandfather of 17-year-old Jacob Redfearn, believes the death of Redfearn was unjustified because the homeowner’s AR15 gave him an unfair advantage over the three burglars.

Speaking to KTUL, Schumacher acknowledged that breaking into a house was “stupid,” but death was not the appropriate consequence.

“What these three boys did was stupid,” Schumacher said. “They knew they could be punished for it but they did not deserve to die.”

Is this satire?

“believes the death of Redfearn was unjustified because the homeowner’s AR15 gave him an unfair advantage”

That’s exactly what you want.

So, were it a fair fight, the burglar should have won?

Obama logic.

Corpse would have looked a lot worse if a shotgun had been used.

3 against 1 is not a fair fight. 3 against an AR15 is fair enough for me.

If you break into my house I don’t intend to give you a fair fight.

Sometimes there is dumb, sometimes there is hey ya’ll dumb, and sometimes you run into a moron like this grandfather. Someone please make sure he remembers to breathe. He is downright a 60 IQ moron with no teeth. Dude is a JOKE. His grandson is a criminal. Wouldn’t surprise me if grandpa engaged in activities like this.

Uh, Grandpa, it was not supposed to be a “fair” fight. He was defending his life and his property.

When you break into someones’ home, you should expect to be killed.

A homeowner is entitled to assume any intruder is a deadly threat and act accordingly.

LOL, what? WTF? Now burglars and homeowners must be armed the same in order for the home owner to defend his property? Who is this clown?

Nope. This all came out right after it happened. The local commie news just reserected the story.

Surprised there aren’t any “Should have used a bigger caliber!” or “Should have spent more time at the range!” posts from armchair FReepers.

Love a story with a happy ending. Law-abiding citizen depriving the gene pool of one more thug.

God bless the AR15 - America’s Rifle, as much the M1 Garand was to my Father’s generation.
