If Quannell Evans put his efforts into urging blacks to NOT COMMIT CRIMES, rather than creating a media circus after one gets shot, I might have just a tiny bit of respect for the man. Unfortunately, he's simply a race-baiting, media-whoring, Al Sharpton wannabe who is making his money exploiting the misfortune of poor blacks.

The fact that they were both shot in the chest...
Is this true?

Sorry. I was half right. According to the Houston Barnacle:

Both men were shot once at a range of less than 15 feet with blasts from a 12-guage shotgun.

The neighbor fired twice. One shot struck one of the suspected burglars in the chest, and the other was struck on the side.

The fact that they were both shot in the chest should give us some clues as to which way they were 'running'.

A guy on another forum said that his instructor told the class that there are 3 kinds of people that carry a gun --- Those that couldn't take a human life, those that can and are looking for an excuse, and lastly those that can but would only do so as the absolute last resort.

The instructor said those in the first category should get rid of the gun. Those in the second should buy a large jar of vaseline and save up for a good lawyer because eventually they would need one or both. Those in the third category would probably do everything totally legally.

This guy seems to me to be in category number 2. He sounded to me like he thought he had a legal way to shoot these guys. That to me is vigilanteism.

Now I hope he gets away with it. But he ran his mouth and he left himself very exposed.

Unfortunately, this perspective is tainted by the condition that our legal system and popular liberal thinking has evolved into.

Should he have kept his mouth shut? Sure. Not a bright thing to do. However, if you placed this event in 1907 or 1807, there'd be no question that what he did was the right thing. The town would give him a medal and throw a fried chicken picnic in his honor.

The problem is not so much with what he did, but how we've come to view it.

Would you just sit back if you were in a gas station and it was being robbed? It's not your property, they have insurance against such things.

Short answer --- Yes. I carry to defend myself and my loved ones. I am not a cop and don't want to be. If the BGs can rob the gas station without endangering me I would let them.

I hope that this guy gets off but he did run his mouth a lot when he shouldn't have. He made the situation sound like vigilanteism instead of good citizenship and that can effect all of us.

Yeah, he ran his mouth, but I don't consider it vigilanteism at all. I consider it acknowledging the reality of the situation. He simply stated out loud what any of us would have been thinking in a similar situation. When you pull your carry weapon in a situation that justifies deadly force, you are thinking, "I'm going to kill this guy," aren't you?

To me, indicting him on what he said is tantamount to thought crime. It's not the "killing the bad guys" we're worried about, but "what was he thinking when he killed the bad guys" that seems to be so important. To me, that's Orwellian and should not play a role in the indictment.

I was waiting to see if he was even going to need one, but my wife and I were considering doing the same thing. I'd rather put the money into defending this American than housing and feeding criminals.

It looks like Mr. X is diversifying. I'm still waiting to see him come to the defense of a white man. There are plenty of downtrodden of every race and ethnicity, yet Mr. X tends to support only one group. And what's worse is he defends them no matter the circumstances.

In my opinion, blindly defending someone based on the color of their skin is racism in a nutshell.

On the original subject, we need more Mr. Horns!
