Long story short: Man is out jogging when he is confronted by two "youths" who are out to rob him. One youth punches jogger in the face. Jogger pulls out a legally concealed .45 and ventilates youth. Youth assumes room temperature. Apoplectic British press call youthful mugger a "victim" and compares jogger who defended himself to Jared Loughner.

Well that will help the state budget somewhat. Every little bit helps.
I have a feeling the incident will go a long toward cleaning up crime in the area.

The most effective deterrent to thuggery is a story like this repeated in the media as frequently as needed.

Another way to give this article perspective:
Imagine you are a fairly small country with a fairly small army, but you have nuclear weapons. Now imagine another country with low WW I style technology is sending in a military force that is five times the number of people in your entire population.
What do you do? You nuke them, of course.
There is no “tit for tat” in self defense. You punch me, I punch you, etc.
IOW, if you are gonna attack someone, make sure you are better armed than they are.

even though 18-year-old Carlos Musteller did not have a weapon.
Well, TFB for him wasn't it?
On another subject - can you get more macho than jogging w/ a loaded .45 after midnight in Tampa? Ooh-rah!

Sounds like a good shoot to me. Anyone who thinks two punks can’t kill you with their bare hands is an idiot. First they knock you out (as threatened), and then you are at their mercy. Head stomps? Kicks? We’ve all seen the videos showing what these animals can do when they have you defenseles. (And no, I have no idea what race anyone was. Two punks threatening to “bam” and knock someone out while robbing them are animals. Period.)
Again, good shoot.
PS Hey, UK, how’s that whole appeasing “youths” and islamic radicals thing working out for you? /spit

Mr. Baker needs to carry a sharpened screwdriver, bought at a garage sale, with cash, and not matching anything in his garage.....and carry it with him if he carries a gun.

The fact that he only shot one of them shows he had a great deal of mercy and restraint.
That or the other guy go out of Dodge before he could draw a bead on him.

Having been punched in the face and fearing his attacker was armed he pulled out a handgun from his pocket and shot dead the teenager who had hit him.Beautiful! What an uplifting, heart warming story.

prosecutors in Florida have ruled Baker should not face any charges, even though 18-year-old Carlos Musteller did not have a weapon.
Just another quiet jog in the neighborhood? The jogger was hit in the face by the yute's weapon, the yute's fist. The yute didn't expect the jogger to respond with a superior weapon. Carlos Musteller was obviously a violent dumba$$ not fit for polite society, even though somewhere in dumba$$land is probably a candlelight vigil.
Thank you, Mr. Baker, for your positive contribution to society.

Good shooting. It’s nice when an armed citizen is getting enough range time to solve the problem. I hate it when the state has to treat and then incarcerate a wounded predator.
