The people in his neighborhood who have made him a pariah will be the next victims of street thugs, and richly deserve to be. What did they want him to do? Wait until the little bastards killed him?
I guess some of the same people who condemn the man who defended himself are the ones who rally for an end to violence in their neighborhoods. Well this guy helped put an end to violence and countless people have been spared from future robberies, assaults, and perhaps murder. They should celebrate this guy, not trash him.
If there is an address where we can send money to him, I would like to know. He should move to a better area.
