Man Holds Someone Up at Knifepoint. Person Takes the Knife Away and Stabs Him. He Dies. The Dead Attacker’s Father Says, “I want somebody to pay for this.”

This is why people should be allowed to carry their own protection. The government isn’t there to protect you at all times, and I think it’s pretty clear that America is based on individuals’ rights to protect themselves.

This needs to happen more often.

“Attacker dies because he was killed by his would-be victim.” That’s what we need. We need society to lash out at violence–to say it’s unacceptable–rather than sit back like sheep and wait for the government to swoop in and save us.

This brightened my day. Maybe it will make that area one iota safer. Probably not, but maybe. As long as violent crime works and the people are discouraged from protecting themselves, this will continue. Add to the insult the fact that this guy would have been out of jail in no time if he lived.

It’s sickening.

It’s highly eroding to a society for citizens to fear for their physical safety. We’re becoming a third-world country, and this guy who died was part of the problem. Good riddance.

And to the father who wants “someone” to pay for this? That’s you. ::
