was there any reason for this guy to be fearing for his life? i mean its a group of drunken teenagers
as for the dumb comments from the kids after the incident.. assume everybody has a gun, that way when you start shit with somebody, you won't be suprised when they shoot your stupid ass.
what i find odd about this.. is that the rest of the kids decided to stick around AFTER two of them got shot. i wonder what happend between the time of the shooting, and the time the police got there.

agreed, many of you are basing you opinions on a story that many of you also say is poorly written and biased. who knows what else was left out of it. BUT, if i were to base my opinion soley on this story, i'd say that the guy with the gun was completely justified with what he did.
it sounds like he (a sober individual) was attacked by 6 guys looking for trouble. they just ended up finding the WRONG guy.
as for those who cant find the use of such extreme force....if a police officer was put in the same position of being attacked by 6 drunken individuals, he'd probably do the same thing. when drunks go out looking to beat the shit out of someone, generally they BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF SOMEONE. they dont just punch and kick, they fucking beat you do a bloody pulp.....unless you can defend yourself with a weapon.
oh yeah.....and if I'M at a gas station at 2 in the morning and six drunk fuckers try to start shit with me, I'D be fucking fearing for my life. and if I had a gun and was attacked by 6 drunks, in a gas station, I'D make sure they knew that I had a gun.
