No, I'm quoting an ACTUAL murder that occurred here in the UK.
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6, and if the police wont stop crime its up to the citizen to do so.
Sounds like you've been watching too many Charles Bronson movies...
Are you going to keep selectively quoting my posts and ignoring the main points?
I'm reposting this section so that you can address it:
First off, someone making physical threats against you is a different scenario than confronting kids who were lighting off fireworks. If you had a physical threat against you, then being armed when you go out is reasonable...I would be too. However, that's different than going out to confront people who were engaged in a non-violent offense.
Second, with regards to this story, did you read the article? The guy had tried to confront them multiple times, and then lied to police about them having a gun to justify his own story when cell phone video clearly showed that none of them were armed.
Basically, in this story, here's what happened.
He was mad that they were shooting off fireworks, "cuz gee whiz, I'm an adult and anyone under 30 should have to do as I say", so he went out to confront them.
When they didn't seem to care much for his orders to then, and just kept on doing what they were doing (but not harming him), that made him mad, so he went back and got a gun and came back. He was probably assuming "when those little so & so's see this, that'll scare them into listening to me", as made clear by the fact that the cell phone video shows him removing the firearm from the holster, brandishing it, pointing it, and then putting it back in the holster several time in an attempt to get them to obey him.
The video then shows the kid trying to leave, then the man with the gun following him continue to yell at him. Then Roche's father came out and started a shoving match with the kid, then that's when Roche shot him.
For someone who's actually in fear for their safety, you don't go out there multiple times, and you don't spend 8 minutes trash talking and brandishing and pointing a weapon at someone and then putting it back in the holster multiple times, and then you certainly don't follow the who you claim to be afraid of when they're trying to leave.
Nothing about this says that Roche was in any danger, and this was nothing more than him wanting to "teach punk kids a lesson", and he got mad when things didn't go his way, so he shot, and then lied to police when they came as the cell phone video proves.
