“...he was a member of the Shoota Boy Gang.”

They must be psychics!

Other local media outlets have painted him as a gang banger wannabe and a bad ass in general.

It’s Minnesota. Expect the victim to be prosecuted.

“Nautica Delshaun Cox”

I literally laughed out loud at that one. Is his sister named "DKNY"?

The four teens should all be charged with murder for the death of their accomplice.

That’s still on the table.

Folks in Minnesota would probably vote to have a million more Somalis if they could. That’s how stupid most of them are. Not all of them — just the majority of them.

I said most of them. They consistently put in liberals. They must love the muslims being dumped on the state.

I know some wonderful conservative people in Minnesota. I believe most would agree with me.

If he’d been carrying a 45 - one shot to the head would have been sufficient to end the confrontation. If you are going to carry a firearm, then make sure it’s of a “one-shot-drop” caliber.

Amazing that blacks make up 12.9% of the population but make up most of the violent crime.

That's only half the story. Yes, blacks are about 12% or so, but the very young and very old aren't committing the crimes.
When you consider that it's only the young men and teenagers, it works out to about 3 or 4 percent of the population.

Oooh, yet one more episode from ‘The Adventures of the Knuckle-Dragging Neanderthals’! With a happy ending too!

True. And it is such a shame.

I know a few young black men that are just outstanding people. Unfortunately, my guess is that they get profiled too because of so many black thugs. They certainly don’t want to live among the thugs.

It seems the media only wants to glorify black thugs. It’s a difficult road for the ones that want to do things the right way — especially if they don’t have a good stable home life with a father and a mother.

Thanks...... Nautica is a fashion brand which I was only dimly aware of. So this perspiring yoof was named after a fashion brand! And his sister DKNY (fashions) who knows? Everyone’s a freelancer these days.

Exactly. I was surprised that wasn’t mentioned in the charges. ....I thought accomplices were charged with murder if one of theirs was killed while they were committing a felony.

The victim wasn’t out on a summer night to shoot someone.

When confronted, he saved his life as well as the woman he had just met at a blue moon observation point.

He reacted. He stopped the threat. He rendered aid.

He followed the law.

I cannot imagine what it would be to take a life, no matter the circumstances.

Investigators say Broadbent’s social media posts indicate he WAS a member of the Shoota Boy Gang.

Emphasis, past tense.

You shoot for body mass, not little targets like heads, until threat is gone.

I prefer a fully loaded .360. It is a short 9mm and has less stopping power, however it is significantly lighter, easier to handle and much more likely to be carried due to its’ small size and light weight.

A forty-five is great, but hard as hell to put in the front pocket of your shorts or even in the waistband of your pants. It almost has to be carried as a shoulder holster weapon and that means at the very least a light jacket and an uncomfortable day.

Besides any gun would have sent this idiot down as he was obviously untrained and unaccustomed to proper handling of weapons.

BTW: it is harsh, but he is of no great loss to anyone, particularly the greater society of St. Paul.
