That’s the thing if people joined in to stop these thugs then it would have been portrayed by the media as a bunch of whites trying to attack 6 impoverished youths who didn’t know any better because life has been “hard” for them.

Aren't we assuming that the victims and the others at the park were all white, or even not black? Either way, it seems to me that if the father was armed it is better to be alive and having to be called a "racist" or even face prosecution than it is to be dead and lost to your family forever.

Cowards travel in packs. I hope they all get AIDS in prison.

This sort of behavior will only stop when the rams among the sheeple start protecting the flock from wolves!

White men have been feminized, and their women empowered. You can blame the media, the public schools, and judges, but only white men and women can reverse this.

I totally believe in the 2nd Amendment. I’ve got an AR15 for home defense and wish to get an all black synthetic stock Russian made AK 47. But even so, in a public place you can’t just start shooting as much as you’d like. And especially not these kinds of “youths”.

The cops would find out that you frequent sites like Freerepublic and have right leanings and frame you as some right wing gun fanatic. I think the Gov just doesn’t care about us. They’re more interested in some pencil neck white guy who’s into 1800 style Mormonism. They don’t care about gangstas groping and or gang attacking people like us.

I can’t believe that you said all that, in public no less. Now Jesse is pining to cut yer n*ts off!

This story makes me nervous because I have 4 daughers. And to get beat down or even humiliated in front of your daughers and wife would almost be psychological torture, I think.

Move to Texas post haste and get a concealed carry.

Feels good and safe.

Yes they would be portrayed by the media as racists, but they would have RESPECT. And those thugs would think twice about trying that again.

This is not just a racial thing. There are plenty of decent black people who don’t like having their daughters groped.

The specific law varies from state to state, but in general if you believe your life is threatened (or even if you are in danger of serious injury), you may use deadly force to neutralize the threat, even in public. And prosecution is usually rooted in the facts of the conflict. It's the civil trial where one must worry about their private life activities being misconstrued.

Based on what I read in the article and applying NC law, he should have been able to use deadly force to stop this attack. You wouldn't necessarily need to shoot all of the thugs. When things go wrong, the rest of the pack is programed to run.

Actually I do live in Texas, near Houston and I don’t feel safe. When our town was homogenis, I felt safe but now that lots of section 8 and sub-prime people have moved in I’m seeing thugish people in town. Gang graffiti too. In a new subdivision 5 minutes away a Katrina man killed his mom and grand mother. At the mall near where I live, one of these “divesity drones” stared me down and looked like he was ready to take a swing at me and I was just pushing my baby through the mall in her stroller! I want to move out of Texas to Montanna, Idaho or Wyoming or the Czech Republic for safety reasons.

What clearer picture? Three of them were named Evans...?

I think MplsSteve was taking about some of their first names like Devondre and Darris. Does that clear the picture up a bit?

maybe this is the new “Camp Shoot Me”.

I suppose going on rides that go upside down while packing is probably not a great idea.

One time when my wife and I were driving back from the Museum of Science in Houston, an older “diversity drone” was walking in the middle of the street and stood in front of our car. We had to stop. This was a fairly busy road by the way. And he stood there staring us down cussing and waving his arms in a crazy manner. I then got the cell and acted as if I was calling the cops and he circled away. Needless to say I can’t stand going into Houston.

how are you going to shoot these thugs in a public place?

Careful aim.

Plus ... you’ll be labeled a racist or worse for shooting at these poor youths who had a hard life.

LOL As if I would care. I'm already "labeled a racist" — it doesn't bother me a bit.

You really think their names cause them to do crimes?

I can think of a handful of folks I know with "different" sounding/looking names...and they didn't turn out like these perps.

That's all well and good, but I would hardly consider Valleyfair a "stupid place" or a place one shouldn't take their daughter.

On a side note, how much you want to bet these f#$king pieces of sh!t bought their admission tickets with welfare money?

that thought may be changing. I’m betting their “security” is a joke, too.

I won’t go anywhere my S&W isn’t welcome,too.
IMHO, that is a stupid place.

It is my belief that the tems people is constituted of 2 entities - persons and mammals. We are supposed to have a capacity for reason. When we renounce that, we are no different that any other mammal. That’s why I refer to them as bipedal mammals. Now, those bipedal mammals raise litters who are predisposed to behaviors like those of the mating pair. Those behaviors include saddling a child with a name like Devondre Quashon or whatever it was.

Some from the litters do notice others who also walk around upright and comport themselves differently and try to emulate those characteristics. That’s a good thing. That’s the capacity for reason kicking in. I don’t know who Molon Labe is, but if he’s not committed to thuggery, good for him. Or Kobe, I’m glad he’s not a gangster even if he is named for a kind of beef.
