Relatives of Dead People Don't Like Self-defense

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. DEADLY NORTHGLENN SHOOTING: 2 weapons found at scene of backyard shootout | FOX31 Denver

Somewhere along the way, the parents failed to teach them that stealing is wrong. But then Right and Wrong are such 20th Century concepts. They are too close to Good and Evil.

Police said one of the boys had a semiautomatic pistol and the other had a machete when they encountered the resident who exchanged gunfire with one of the boys. Both were shot, taken to the hospital and later died, police said. The resident was not injured in the shootout.

As for those parents.

“I know he made mistakes, but he didn’t deserve this,” Cordova’s father, Ismael Rodriguez, said. “If somebody is breaking into your shed, they could have called the cops. There’s other alternatives than to just go outside and start shooting.”

Of course I'm sure that isn't what happened. He heard them, went outside to ask, "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" or words to that effect, and they opened fire. But that is only my guess, since the cops have not released much in the way of details. The cops haven't even released the identities of the two miscreants. That was done by one of the families.

And call the police? Really? After all the de-funding, there is no telling when they will show up. So this father wants you to do nothing. Maybe he should get on board with teaching other kids - his or other people's kids - that stealing is wrong, AND dangerous.

Self-defense is a human-right.
