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 grandsons death.
According to KTUL-TV, Leroy Schumacher, grandfather of 17-year-old Jacob Redfearn, believes the death of Redfearn was unjustified because the homeowners 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.

Oh? So three against one is considered a fair fight even though they invaded the house? The homeowner was wrong in defending himself against the three? So what if he used a semi-auto hand gun; would gramps complain?
Three against one, broke in unannounced to steal stuff, don’t know if personal harm was on their agenda too. Sounds like the homeowner just evened it out.

Elizabeth Rodriguez, now there’s a good old Amish name.

Burglars got the business end of a homeowner lawfully protecting his life and property. All my sympathies are with the homeowner.
Unfair advantage?! Homeowner 1, Burglers 0. The results are what count and in self-defense, anything goes. Good he had an AR-15. Consider how much more mess would have been involved if he had used a 12 gauge shot gun.
Its NOT a fight Pop pop. Its just exterminating vermin.
.
Gramps is obviously a life long whiner that passed on his morals to his issue.
>>but death was not the appropriate consequence
The criminal gets to choose the crime, the location, the victim, the means, and the intended outcome.
The victim only gets to choose whether they fight or submit. Every person who enters a person’s home to commit a crime should be carried out in a bag.
I always was a bit “different” but I’ve never...at 7,or 17,or 47 or 67...entered a private residence without a specific invitation from the lawful occupant.
And if it were an eight-year-old girl alone in the house, what would make it a fair fight for her against three teenage punks? A rolling pin? A screwdriver? And to hell with your grandson. He got what he deserved. A year ago.
I feel a tear coming on...
Wait for it...
Hold on...
Nope no tears - no sympathy.
The Homeowner has an unfair advantage in that it’s his house.
Well Grandpa........ YOU should have done a better job of over site with your Grandkid.
It seems grandpa is suffering from a severe case of industrial strength stupidity.
The Colt Revolver was said to have the name of “The Equalizer”, reflecting the fact that 5 bullets made a vast difference in an unfair fight of many to one. Would this grandfather be saying the same if the death came from a revolver or autoloader? This is the hype against a legal weapon used legally against a home invasion by 3 men.
One thing to add: The criminal also chooses the time of the attack. Which might just happen to find the intended victim alone, or perhaps even asleep and alone.
It got unfair the minute they tried to break in.
They were 3 against 1. I don’t want to hear this idiot’s idea of fair.
he must be British.
Only the British are this stupid.
