A 65-year-old man who was the victim of an attempted early morning mugging in Queens is now facing charges after he allegedly shot his attacker to death.

There is an old saying that I would rather be Judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Kew Gardens? If Kitty Genovese had a gun, she’d be in jail today.
New tag line.
Even a pen can be used to kill someone. Anybody who gets stabby with anything deserves to be shot.
I know Melinda Katz. I've spoken with her before she became the Queens DA, when she was a NYC Councilwoman. She is 100% pure lib. And apparently she feels a citizen should be subject to getting mugged and possibly severely injured or even killed rather than discharge a G-U-N in their own defense. But the criminals do this at will, no problem. How sick is this? Just one of the reasons I left NYC.
Years ago I went to a talk given by an NRA lawyer. He said that the three worst 2A cities were New York City, Chicago, and DC. Even if you’re following every gun rule, the cops will still arrest you for just the hell of it.
You *might* be exonerated later. But in the meantime you’ll be spending some interesting time in a filthy city lockup.

Insanity reigns. As Ted Nugent once said, you don’t need a note from the government to defend yourself. Maybe the old guy should have taken a machete to that son of bitch to teach him and others a lesson.
It seems unbelievable that this 65 year old man will like go bankrupt defending himself a second time against the government, when clearly had he not had a firearm of his own, he likely would be carried by six, but instead is being tried by twelve.
We have long past the time for the SCOTUS to take one of these cases and settle it once and for all. The second amendment must be reaffirmed loudly and clearly. There has to be a stop to laws in the different states that violate any United States citizen’s right to OWN AND BEAR ARMS.
Period . . .
Leave NYC if you can. Do not go there.
Because it was a Constitutionally-lawful self defense case, I'm sure she will look for a maximum sentence against Foehner.
Had Foehner been a street thug, she would plea bargain away the gun charge in exchange for a misdemeanor guilty plea on loitering.
The democrats wanted the man dead, and his belongings “redistributed” among the street savages who are so beloved to the democrats.
Just a question of “justice,” they think. The man was an “oppressor” and should have willingly given the savages what they wanted, and should not have resisted their violent attack.
That is the world the left wants for us.
My mom’s family was mostly from Murphy.
Didn’t the City have a social worker on duty who could have handled this mugging equitably so it didn’t turn into The Wild West?
Unless you bribe high-ranking cops:

You must comply and bow to the Marxist enabled criminals. On your knees!!!
It seems the Supreme Court has addressed this several times but some States and Cities ignore their clear rulings by ignoring this Constitutionally protected Right.
Charge him with littering. He left trash in the street.
nice signaling to the criminal element, like they needed any extra incentive in NYC
