mrhutch public relations company issues statement on behalf of Ms. Cannon, "I am only sorry I did not get more of those little bastards."Her mistake was saying "maybe it wasn't the best decision to make".
If you're going to pull the trigger, stick to your guns. They were violently assaulting her and she was in fear of her life and the life of her daughter. If David can take down Goliath with a stone, 3 grown "kids" can kill or seriously harm an adult with rocks as well. I'd have shot too, but it wouldn't have been "shooting in their direction", there'd be bodies on the pavement.
Hey, if you're going to shoot, judicious marksmanship is a must.mrhutch public relations company issues statement on behalf of Ms. Cannon, "I am only sorry I did not get more of those little bastards."
:lol:
Are you asking for an opinion or reality?So if you go outside, and teens throw rocks at you, not property, can you shoot?
Stoning is actually a method of execution.
Is the shooting of Vernon Marcus Jr. justified? (he is in stable but critical condition)
I have a nice scar from 76 stitches that it took to patch the hole in my cheek from where a ~15 year old kid threw a stick at me, and had a nice concussion to boot. According to the surgeon, I got seriously lucky, as it missed the most major nerve center, salivary gland, and artery in the left side of my face by mere millimeters due to the way the blunt object cause the flesh to tear. Also exceedingly lucky that one of the best and most respected reconstructive surgeons in the state on on-duty at the hospital that night.Her mistake was saying "maybe it wasn't the best decision to make".

Vandalism? They would have *maybe* gotten a written citation, and would have just been pissed off and vengeful like they were for having the cops called on them in the first place.I think it was a bad shoot. She could have resolved this whole issue with video of them causing damage. They would have been charged with vandalism and case closed months ago.
But as for this incident, she leaves the safety of her home to get into a verbal altercation then goes back in her home to retrieve a weapon (if I am understanding the facts) which she fires indiscriminately in their general direction. All this equates to a bad shoot imho.
Well they were caught in the act but the police instead of arresting them and charging them told them to go home and to not return to that street. So much for case closed months ago. Those young wannabe thugs disobeyed a direct order to not return. they continued to return and throw rocks and damage property. The last time they returned they not only attacked property but a person. The rock assault on a person was in retaliation for that person calling the police and getting them banned from the street. The parents and the police allowed this attack to take place by not actively punishing their behavior. The least the police should have done was to take them to their parents and have a talk about the situation. The best thing was to arrest and charge. Neither of which happened.I think it was a bad shoot. She could have resolved this whole issue with video of them causing damage.

Cannon said she was at her neighbors home. She saw the teens walking down the street so she delayed going back to her house until they were gone. "My daughter was home alone," she said.
When the teens were out of sight, Cannon said she returned to her house where she checked on her daughter's car.
The teens came back, Cannon said.
"I saw them out of the corner of my eye," she said. "The barrage of big rocks started, not just at my car and house, but me.
"I started shooting in their direction. They started running," Cannon said.
Accused shooter of teen reported rock throwers, once spoke of "bad blacks"
This ^ even more so because of the white on black BS.She needs to shut the Hell up and get a experienced Lawyer. :-$
That's twice you've declared against the shooter just for being an irresponsible person. Maybe she is and maybe she isn't. There's a couple of different stories that show opposing viewpoints of what supposedly happened. Maybe we should wait for the cops to determine what actually happened before condemning the shooter to hell and patting the little rock chuckers on the head.Bad shoot. She just shot at some kids near her home. Apparently any set of kids were ok for the shooter.
"It wasn’t clear whether the people Cannon had accused of throwing rocks were the people she is said to have opened fire on."
