On March 17th, three white men were leaving an Applebees restaurant after midnight in Seneca, South Carolina. One of the men, Terry Moore, 32, of Macon County, NC, went to the bathroom while his two friends went straight to their car. When Moore walked to the car alone, he encountered between 15 and 20 black men. The men allegedly yelled racial slurs at him like "tree honkey" and "cracker," then brutally attacked him.
Moore's friends say that he was zapped with a tazer and then stomped on after he fell to the crowd. The victim suffered several serious head injuries including a fractured eye socket and a dislocated jaw.

Seneca police, working with the county sheriff's department and SLED, has apprehended six of the suspects. They are facing state charges for assault and battery by a mob, which is also more commonly known as second degree lynching in South Carolina.

Problem with that is that tasering somebody before he has made a hostile act will get you in serious legal trouble, and once he has made a life-threatening hostile act you have justification for using a regular firearm in response.
Tasers are generally for police, as a tool for subduing uncooperative people for arrest. Private citizens are not generally in such a situation.
Tree Honkey? WTF is a Tree Honkey?
A taser isn't going to help you much, if you're confronted by a gang of hostiles, intent on injuring, or even killing you.
You'd best be equipped with something that can stop multiple targets.
Bang bang...
According to this story, the victim had spent the day fishing, so I'm guessing "tree honkey" is what they call white guys who do hunting and fishing in the woods.
You are correct. A taser or pepper spray is much less likely to deter a thug than a gun, as he figures if he attacks you, nothing too bad will happen to him.
Sorry.
I made what (may) be the same mistake the author may have.
I was referring to a stun gun. Hand held, lots of volts. Two electrodes...
If Zimmerman had had one, none of this would have happened.
“Tree Honkey? WTF is a Tree Honkey?”

Yes that’s certainly a new one to me also.
Perhaps it’s like “White Hispanic”?
Close. Careful.
I sure hope that does not happen. Thanks, Obama, indeed.
"Wilding" I believe...not uncommon at all over the last 15 years.
It is fair to assume any black on white lynchings right now are the Democrat Party’s Klan answering the call of the wild. They are even wearing hoods of a different style than they used to wear.

Good luck to all those who live near or in the urban areas with large “Amish” populations. This is going to be a defensive summer in those areas.
Possibly, possibly not. Trayvon was on top of Zimmerman beating him up. For a hand-held stun gun to incapacitate the bad guy, you have to hold it continually against him for several seconds, per the manufacturer . This implies that you have the ability to pin him down long enough. Zimmerman didn't. Stun guns are for use by police to subdue a bad guy and get him to submit to being cuffed, and are generally used when the police side has enough physical force to pin the guy long enough for the stun gun to work.
CARRY!
STAY SAFE!
STAY ARMED!
That is called “Situational Awareness,” Mia. We all must, at all times, be aware of where we are and the potential hazards that are nearby.
Those were tough times and it looks like events are beginning to escalate again. My advice is to avoid the neighborhoods that harbor gangs, etc. and to make as much noise as possible when danger approaches.
This is where poltically correct, white guilt liberals will take it in the shorts. They won’t heed your common sense advice because it would be “racist.” Mugged liberals coming right up.
First question I had was “What the hell were his friends doing”? Guarantee, drop a couple of the 15 and the rest would be heading for the hills. These pm thugs may not care much for your life, but they are rarely ready to die for “da cause” themselves.
Thank God you had the gun - I’m sure your family feels the same... Thanks for sharing. Glad you’re here.
The sad thing is I live in SC and am just now hearing this. I guess the media works overtime to help out “holders people”.
