Minor Defends His Uncle

The Left doesn't like to admit that minors have the right to self-defense. SELF-DEFENSE: Boy who killed Cape Coral mother's boyfriend will not be charged

Last Tuesday a woman was arguing with her boyfriend. She called her brother to help "diffuse the situation." The boyfriend met the brother in the front yard with a wooden pole and brass knuckles.

Detectives say Mess Jr. started beating up the brother in front of the young boy.

According to police, the boy got a gun and pointed it at Mess Jr. as a warning. However, police say the man kept beating the boy's uncle.

"At that point, the son was in fear for his uncle’s life," police said.

The young boy fired multiple shots, killing Mess Jr.

Cape Coral, Florida is a city on the Gulf Coast just across the Caloosahatchee River from Fort Meyers. It is about 110 miles west of Palm Beach, or about 140 miles south of Tampa. The distances are longer if you are driving.

The statement from the cops indicate that they are treating this like self-defense, and they seem to indicate that the district attorney feels the same way.

"All parties involved cooperated with the investigation and detectives determined that the son shot Norbert Mess in self-defense to protect his mother and uncle from serious bodily injury or death. No charges will be filed," said Cape Coral Police spokesperson Officer Mercedes Simonds.

Self-defense, and defense of others, is a human right, even if you are under 18 years old. Self-defense is still your legal right in Florida.
