A tragedy for the 17-year-old and his family, but a happy ending for society. I don't know how to begin to alter a street culture that celebrates thuggishness. But in the meantime, we should stay alert and armed.

From the story KSAT did on this incident,
“I believe we have a right to arm ourselves and protect ourselves. But I get a little concerned when I hear that someone, an employee of any type of establishment retaliates with a weapon,” Coleman said.
I just can't wrap my head around his way of thinking. Supports the 2nd and self defense but not for hard working people being victimized by criminals?

The 711 Corporation has a long history of firing employees who use firearms to defend themselves on the job. I find that appalling--course they are a private corporation and free to do that. Not sure how they will handle the employee in this case.

It sounds like he’s saying that if you have a job you don’t have a right to defend yourself.
Must swing to the left.
