Mob picks the wrong guy to mess with!

[Shift Zombie]

This just makes me want to carry a gun with a larger magazine. 19+1 sounds good. I've been wanting that CZ75 SP01 anyhow. It makes me wonder what would happen if one of these flash mobs occurred while someone with a LTCH was about.

Where I grew up, the DA would press charges for defending yourself out on the street unless you had plenty of witnesses to back you up. Many "vigilantes" as they called them, would protect themselves or others, then disappear.
I didn't catch what state this incident was in.
Good for him.

If you're continuously popping out bad seeds you should get the chair or at least use that "bucket of water" early on.

Knock out game? What the hell is wrong with the kids...

The punk kids can play this "knock-out" game...as long as they don't mind me playing the "sucking chest wound/cranial vault gunshot" game..!

 

[Arthur Dent]

If that guy didn't kill one of the attackers and injure the other, and was killed/injured himself would the attacker's families still say their boys were innocent/meant no harm/were good boys?

Yes, they still would.

Knock out game? What the hell is wrong with the kids, is it lack of discipline or simply just shear ignorance.

Both, actually.

Wow, the boys Uncle was one of the two Police Officers that notified the parents and the boys family and friends still claim it is a cover-up by the Police Department.

Prosecutor: Hispanic gangs making presence known

By Sam Brattain The Herald Bulletin

ANDERSON, Ind. — Linda Bair is afraid to go outside. The garden in her backyard has gone unattended because she fears a stray bullet from one of the neighborhood’s rival Hispanic gangs will find her.

The Latin Kings and the Playboy Surenos have marked their territories all over the south side Anderson neighborhood. Vacant homes, garage doors, and even the roadway bear the gangs’ signs (a golden six-point crown for the Kings, while the Surenos are represented by either a Playboy bunny or the number 13).

David Rivera, 17, and Donovan Ball, 18, two of the three suspects charged Thursday with attempted murder after the severe beating of 15-year-old Sergio Torres, are believed to have resided in the neighborhood. Rivera, Ball and Ruben Rosales-Mezar, 18, allegedly attacked Torres with a baseball bat June 27. The injured youth was found after the battery in the 600 block of East 27th Street. The three suspects are originally from Chicago, and involved in the Latin Kings.

Bair said the gangs moved into her neighborhood last summer. She described them as a “bunch of kids,” but violent nonetheless.

“They’re always having fights out front, armed with knives and guns,” Bair said.

At one point last summer, Bair said her life was threatened, as a gang member dressed in black, and wearing a ski mask, pointed a gun at her head after she opened her door.

“I asked him ‘who is it?’ He said ‘your worst ... nightmare,’”

Bair said the gang member ordered her to sit down inside the house, while he searched for marijuana. She told him that she did not smoke. During the ordeal, Bair said she was able to reach into her waist pack and call police dispatch on her cellphone. As soon as the gang member heard the call, Bair said he ran out of the house. Police were at the house within a minute.

Though she wasn’t harmed in the attack, Bair said the incident has left her paranoid.

“My granddaughter comes over here a lot, but I don’t let her play outside, because she might catch the aftermath of a bullet or something,” she said.

She said it’s like being held hostage in her own home.

“If I had money or an opportunity, I would move in a New York minute,” Bair said.

When Bair first moved there 16 years ago, she said it was a “nice little neighborhood,” where everyone knew each other. Bair said she used to look after some of the older residents by checking in on them and mowing their lawns. Now, she says she barely knows any of her neighbors.

Madison County Prosecutor Rodney Cummings said he too has noticed gang graffiti around the city, but he’s not sure what to make of it. In the 1990s, Cummings said, the city had a bit of a gang problem, as prominent gangs such as the Crips attempted to establish a base in Anderson.

Hispanic gangs such as the Latin Kings and the Surenos are a new development for the area, he said.

Based on his experience with gangs, Cummings said they do not appear to be as organized as gangs in larger cities, but they do have aspirations.

“They are not fully organized, but it’s clear they want to be,” Cummings said.

Tippecanoe County Prosecutor Pat Harrington said gangs will adapt to a community where they are trying to establish a foothold. While he said it’s hard to compare gangs in Lafayette and Anderson, he said their primary objective is the same: to make money through illegal activity, usually drugs.

Gang infiltration usually begins innocently enough. Harrington said gang leaders will host under-21 parties, promising a safe venue for teens. The leaders will then pick out teenagers they feel will be a good fit.

Harrington said a major reason teens join gangs is because they offer love and a sense of belonging, which they might be lacking.

On the other hand, teens such as Ball, Rivera and Rosales-Mezar are appealing to gangs because they are easily impressed, and as juveniles don’t face as harsh punishment from the courts.

“Most of these kids who are convicted will be out by the time they’re 18, unless they’re waived to adult court,” Harrington said.

Harrington said police are doing their best to curb gang activity, but whether they’re successful will depend on the amount of community involvement.

“It’s the community. If the community is not invested and leave it to police, it probably means that city is heading for dire straits in the future,” Harrington said.

While gang activity can be a deterrent for business growth, Harrington said communities should be honest.

“Gangs love to exist in darkness. By denying the problem, you’re walking right into their playbook,” Harrington said.

Their willful ignorance goes a lot further than that.

Most people I encounter don't think the "poverty" is self-imposed.

Mama's little angels should have paid closer attention in Sunday school to the Do Onto Others lesson. They got what they deserved. Kind of poetically if you think about it. They intended to harm him, he harmed them instead. Do onto others my friend......... It applies in this situation.

I wish all senseless attacks ended so happily. If they did, maybe this 'game' would never be an option.

Once again, instead of blaming the intended victim, adults need to turn this into a learning experience for these juvenile delinquents. "Jr when you want to beat someone for no reason, make sure you take into consideration that they may fight back and kill your stupid a*s. Perhaps you should find something more constructive to do with your time." Or even the, this kid died for being a bully, don't be a bully talk.

Sticking their heads in the sand will not solve this trend, nor will blaming the intended victim. Educate the troubled youth so they do not believe this is acceptable to do to innocent people.

I agree with everything you said. So many people surrounding this kid including his mother were in complete denial of the situation. They perpetuate the problem. I get so tired of these bleeding heart types.

My ex-step father is retired from the police force and occasionally posts stories like this on facebook, ones where the idiot finally got what was coming to him, and you always see a sobbing mother or grandmother talking about what a good boy the idiot was. He then links this "good boy's" 3 page long arrest record.

Drug abuse and crime run rampant through these communities and yet their surrounding family and friends take no responsibility for what role they may have played in enabling the behavior.

Keep it simple, Glock 17 with a 30 rd mag. If you need more than 30 rounds, you're in the WRONG area.

Does not a bad guy (or a dozen of them) ever go to the RIGHT area?

But he was such a good boy...he would do nobody any harm...he wasn't raised that way...

Knock out game? That can be dangerous in Indiana. If they try with me or most of the other ingo'ers out there, they better make damn sure they get the first swing and it takes me completely out. No attacking mob would want to be in the position where they have to guess how many bullets are in my gun. Unfortunately this does happen in Indiana at places like the Monon Trail. I believe most ingo'ers would have their situational awareness help them avoid being a lone, unsuspecting target in the first place.
