Our legal system should recognize a disparity in age (like the one in the story) as a factor in the use of a deadly force response but I'm not sure that it always does. Another story that I read this morning talked about 4 youth car jacking an elderly man and then running him over with his own car. I cannot imagine it going well for that elderly man if he had been armed and used his gun against the teens, none of whom was apparently 18yo. Of course, some of it depends on where it happens. An incident like that happening in Baltimore versus Tyler, Tx would likely have a very different outcome.
