Here’s a story from the New Orleans Times-Picayune that JET will be following closely, as many of our friends and followers on social media are asking is this the next stand-your-ground tragedy. What do you think about this? Could it possibly be that the homeowner was protecting his family or are we getting totally out of hand with people taking justice into their own hands? Please read the story and then discuss with us:
“A homeowner said he shot a 14-year-old boy because he thought the teen was trying to break into his house. But police said the teen was unarmed and did not pose an “imminent threat” when he was shot early Friday and have charged the owner with attempted second-degree murder.
The family of Marshall Coulter said the teenager, who was shot in the head, could move only the right side of his body a little, but not the left. Doctors told the family that if Coulter survives, he would likely be severely brain damaged.”
