Sorry....This guy should have been convicted. He went "hunting" for these kids.

All he had to do was stay in the house and wait for the cops.

These kids weren't the usual city gun toting gang types.L

I really think there was reverse "racism" here.

...so they could show up and make out a report after the kids left with the loot?

These kids weren't the usual city gun toting gang types.

Just the usual outstanding citizen of the month auto burglary types.

You are a complete idiot. The police never arrive on time. After 11 grade I was working at a gas station. I had another customer call the police. My town was 4 square miles. Customer reported they had guns. It took our cop 30 minutes to arrive. That was 20 minutes after I tricked them and they left. You risk your life waiting on the police stupid.

“All he had to do was stay in the house and wait for the cops.”
Yeah. Good plan. I totally disagree. You want to be a thief, you get what’s coming to you.

"Wait for the cops"

LOL, oh aren't YOU the funny one!

Maybe the cops could have brought some coffee and donuts while they filled out a report from Mr. Scott which would then be summarily sh*t-canned.

The little thug threatened Mr. Scott, and Mr. Scott blew his ass away.

The punk won't be making any more threats, nor breaking into any more cars.

I love happy endings.

Next time something like this happens to you call the cops and call for pizza delivery. See which gets there first. Police do not prevent crimes, they come after the fact and take reports to turn over to insurance companies. Nice if you have insurance and no deductible. The best crime prevention is an armed and vigilant populace.

What a bunch of whiny nonsense!

We are not obliged to sit by, during the commission of a crime and hope the cops show up in time.
There is no reason to believe the thieves were not armed and there is no reason to believe that THREE punks challenging you are not a threat.

Rather than pronouncements about “cold blooded murder”, the father should examine why he didn't teach his son that there are consequences for crime, and that it's not just the next step in hide ‘n seek.

Yes, all the best sheep do. Latte?

I really think there was reverse "racism" here.

Or maybe just actual racism on someone else's part...

Hmmm...

Yep, that's worked so well in the past.

A man has the right to defend himself, his family and his property. If someone wants to die over property then so be it.

Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands and hopefully it turns out in your favor.

So because the bad guy had an Italian last name, he's not the typical gang type?

Punks are punks. He shouldn't have been breaking into cars, nor threatening citizens in the neighborhood. Did Roderick Scott, outnumbered 3 to 1, know he was unarmed under the cover of darkness?

[Condor51]

*** All he had to do was stay in the house and wait for the cops. ***

Uh-huh. Do you know the average response time from a beat cop for a call: 'kids breaking into cars'?

No? Well for that type of call, they usually go to the bathroom after they finish the donut and before they get in the patrol car.

And please. No 'its only property that can be replaced', stuff. If someone goes after my stuff, they're going after me.
(I HATE thieves - of any age, or color)

[vox_freedom]

That's funny. Can you forward along a few more comments?
With the latest news about nationalized health care, global warming, and trillion dollar deficits we can use the humor.

He went "hunting" for these kids.

I'd only prosecute him if he did so out of season.
