Even if these Guidonian individuals made up the rape threat thing (and as far as I can see it doesn't say that they did in the article), this White fellow's first course of action should have been as the prosecution describes - lock doors, 911. Seems like a tragic accident with blame on both sides to me.
You're far too reasonable and considerate in these types of threads. When DruM creates inflammatory muslim-bashing topics, he expects us to return in kind. The same goes when I mock Christian fundamentalists, stereotyping vast swaths of America along the way.
In short, allow your knee to jerk.
Thanks.

Anyone that thinks that guy was in the wrong for defending his home and family with a weapon against multiple aggressive attackers is a fucking pussy. Yeah, just stay in your homes and call 911 while the shitheads attacking you and your family hopefully just go away. Gee, better hope they don't decide to burn your house down while you're waiting.
aye. the same story over here might be about a knife or a golf club but i don't see it being any different. you have to nip things like that in the bud. if you call the police, it's only going to be a long, dangerous wait and a massive amount of pointless fucking about - then it's likely nothing will be done anyway and the situation will carry on.
that and the part about the lad grabbing the gun being pointed at him - that's just natural selection and justice working as a team.
That man was obviously totally justified in what he did and anything other than a complete acquittal would be a goddamn travesty of justice.
Also, i understand where NS is coming from with the statement about 911 and i mostly agree - but surely it wouldn't hurt to both confront the problem and call the police. You don't have to hide inside your house like some kind of frightened rodent if you call the cops... Shit, in hindsight he should probably have called just so he could say he did.
the problem with that is that the police will tell you go inside and stay there - so whoever's attacking you is free to do what they want for however long it takes the police to arrive, and anything you do in response will be against the advice of the police and potentially get you into legal trouble later on.
i'm not saying that they shouldn't be called at all, just that it's worth doing any reasonable risk minimisation first.
Hmm, perhaps. I sorta doubt the kind of legal trouble you could get into by ignoring police advice on a matter like that, in a country where you are justified to shoot if someone trespasses, but i see your point.

So the police in a predominantly white neighborhood are going to help a black family? no. You can try and tell yourself that the other way is true, but it's not what happens.

Heh. I'm just too tensed up. Not sure which direction to jerk it in this case anyway.

QFT. It doesn't have to be either/or, NS. Though hiding in your house wouldn't be such a bad idea. If they break in, and they might not, you're not in much more danger than if you confronted them outside, and I'd have thought you'd be in a much stronger position legally.

It's one thing to say there's bias in the police force. It's something else entirely to say you'd rather take on a whole murderous gang beseiging your home than seek their help.

Wow, you sound like a complete and total pussy. Seriously, are you some sort of walking vagina? Look, of course you call the cops when shit like this goes down, but there is no reason on earth why you should have to cower in you home while a squad of douchebags screams racial epithets at you in your own front yard. You walk outside and tell them to shut the fuck up and piss off or you'll end them.
Honestly, your sort of blatant pussified faggery turns my stomach.
