5 Feet of Fury

Journalism!! Young black guys always ‘dedicated to their community’ — right up until the second they’re killed during the commission of a crime

I know — it’s so weird, huh?

As the late Joel Rosenberg wrote and taught, a carry permit is not a Junior G-Man badge. In those circumstances, people would be better advised to call 911 and let the police deal with the situation rather than confronting an assailant known to be armed.

However, it was clear from the beginning that the Good Samaritan didn’t initiate the deadly threat, and that the perp was a dangerous person.

If all you knew about this case came from the local media, however, you’d never know that.
