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.

I myself no longer imbibe as I realized that alcohol and I were incompatible. I more often than not fell victim to if 3 made me feel good, 6 would be better, LOL.
If I was the homeowner, I would consider Grandpa a clear and present danger.
That’s why I wouldn’t call the cops in the first place. First of all, the odds are decent that the cops’ first actions on arrival will be to shoot my dog and myself. Secondly, at least some of the friends and family members of whoever is cooling on the floor will become clear and present dangers, leaving me with the dilemma of living dangerously or taking risky preemptive action.
It can all be avoided firstly by making it nearly impossible for anyone to get in uninvited, which I have done long ago. If they get in regardless and have to be dispatched, my choice at that point would be disposing of dead bodies now, or living friends and relatives later. I choose the former. YMMV
I guess the kids should have called the police to disarm the homeowner before going in. At the rate we’re going, NYC and California will be offering this service before long.
Ill cut grieving grandpa some slack but his boy made a fatal choice. Leave the homeowner alone however as its clearly self defense.
Hubris the word for this is hibris. The grandfather is a spoiled child in an old man’s body.
They died in the commission of their crime and so they got all the due process they were due. Tootles pipski.
This Grandpa is just speaking out of his grief and emotions, let him have his space to grieve ... but that doesn’t mean his claims should be bowed down to.
“...alcohol and I were incompatible....”
Oh, it’s incompatible with ME too, but I swore a long time ago that it would BEND TO MY WILL!!!
A man’s got to have goals.... :^)
Haha!
Yup, an equalizer came into play.
Then don’t show up mother f***er, and you might get to keep your worthless life.
LOL. What's next? The old argument about "proportionate response" we used to hear all the time about Israel's response to terrorist attacks?
Grandpa, it's quite simple and you should have taught your grandson: "Son, if you break into someone's castle, don't think you are getting out alive."
LOL. I found it easier, and healthier to just surrender and concede defeat. 8>) Not as much fun though I must admit. But then again I don’t have people telling me what I did the night before and feeling embarrassed. No, we were absolutely incompatible. 8>)
As the saying goes, “God made men, but Sam Colt and ArmaLite made them equal.”
“..But then again I dont have people telling me what I did the night before and feeling embarrassed....”
Yeah, I can relate... there WAS that time in Secaucus, after all, with that redhead stipper (what the HELL was her name) in the Nun outfit, the snow tire, the 5 gallon drum of petroleum, and the female Albanian dwarf gymnast ... Brrr...
Flashbacks, man... they’re HELL.... :^)
I refuse to go into details though. 8>)

Haha!!!!!!
Share, brother... share!!! It’s probably LEGENDARY!
His son broke into someone’s house. He got what he deserved.
