65 year old man kills 2 'youths' that try to rob him

[vulvan]

A 65-year-old man who was knocked off his bicycle by three teenagers on a Pennsylvania trail shot two of them, killing one, police said according to reports.

The Reading Eagle newspaper said the wounded teen, 16, was taken to hospital and the third, age 15, was taken in for questioning and was later sent to a youth center.

The paper said the mother of the slain boy, 16, asked officials not to release his name until she had been able to tell other members of the family what happened.

The incident happened on the Thun Trail near a bridge over the Schuylkill River, between Reading and West Reading around noon Wednesday. According to WGAL.com, police said the boys knocked the man off his bicycle in an apparent robbery attempt.

Why because he was protecting himself and his property?

I agree pulling out a gun and shooting wasn't the best idea and the kids death is a tragedy.

This is the attacker's fault NOT the victims

defending yourself =/= using lethal force.

youobviously have no knowledge of property laws and self defense protocol.
there can be two parties in the wrong in a situation

I am sure it was the first time they done something like this.

[East1600plus]

you would face the charge of my neg cannon if it wasnt.. charging

[DMR4494]

Guy should face some charges. You don't just shoot at two kids because they try to steal your bike. What a *******.

InB4 Negs. I don't give a crap. I don't care about Rep power tbh

You are truly an idiot. Have you seen violent beatings of people by mobs of teens lately? Do you live under a rock? So, three teens come out of the woods, knock you down and you're supposed to curl up in a ball and ask for forgiveness? The guy was attacked and defended himself.

Go away.

Implying the kids werent actually try to kill him
Implying he purposely killed them

16 year old boys shouldn't be running around robbing 65 year old men.

If they didn't get stopped now they would only cause more trouble later in their lives...

[VincentiT]

65 year old man of peace

[Fairplay]

i wonder if pulling the gun out and waving it around like a crazy motherfukker would have been enough to deter these thugs. it takes a lot to scare kids in 2012 however.

[uwsboy]

Was his name Harry Brown?

3 teenagers vs 1 old man... oh yeah I'm pretty sure he could have defended himself

One dumb mistake? I could understand if it was kids egging his house or something, we all did that **** as kids. But never in my life would I think of knocking an old man off his bike, beating him up, and stealing his money. What is the old guy suppose to do? Just sit there and take it?

[tylertheliger]

That trail goes right off of a park next to my school. A lot of scummy looking folks hang on that trail so I wouldn't doubt it.

[Vindicate]

when your 16 you know whats right and wrong

if he shot them running away then hes gonna be in trouble, but if he shot them when they were attacking him he will probably go free

Was his name Harry Brown?

**** yeah Harry Mafakkin Brown.
