had to post this news story.

quote:

A 19-year-old former Palmetto High School student who was left a quadriplegic after a botched home invasion robbery last year, was transported from a Miami care facility to the Manatee County jail Tuesday for his first-degree murder trial. Ta Heem Blake, who was 17-year-old foster child at the time of the slaying, was left paralyzed after one of the residents fired back. The bullet tore through his spine. Unable to move from the neck down, he was left at the scene with an assault-style SKS rifle lying next to him, according to authorities. Bradenton Police Department investigators say Blake shot and killed Maria Lerma, 55, after he and another former Palmetto High student, Marquis Sanders, broke into her Bradenton home in the 900 block of 25th Street East through a sliding glass door.

I was going to ask what the point of posting this was, but I guess it will make some interesting discussion.

He broke into some peoples house, and shot a person. He was shot by a resident of the house, through the spine, and now he's a State Grown Vegetable.

Probably about time for our quarterly "COR gun-control debate"

Should the perpetrator have had the right to own an "assault-style SKS rifle"? Should one of the residents have the right to own a handgun to fire back?

You decide

And keep the racist shit to a minimum, please.

If the country had laws against guns, chances are extremely high that neither of them would have had a gun. Had they not had, not just a gun but a fucking assault rifle, they probably wouldn't have broken into the home while someone was there.

Was the person right to defend themselves and shoot back? Yes.
Does that warrant the need for guns? Absolutely not. Anyone who doesn't agree needs to go read previous threads because the evidence is stacked way against them.

Oh and Karma doesn't exist.

nah he did the right thing. shoot em up.

The worst part about this is the residents of the state of Florida are going to have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars, and likely into the millions, for this crippled retard's special needs treatment in a penitentiary.

Bradenton might just be the worst place in the continental US.

Precisely. Had guns been outlawed, it would be way harder for this kid to get it. This is the problem with the US (and Brazil, for that matter). It's an arms race. People arm themselves to their teeth because they're afraid they may be attacked, they get mugged (yeah, not everyone is a superhero and dodges assaults simply because they carry a gun) and their super doper gun is nicked by criminals who are then better prepared to approach people who hold guns...
