The newspaper in Lansing, Mich., came so close to getting it right: An intended victim of the Knockout Game pulled a gun and shot at his attacker. So far so good.
This version of the game had a twist: Instead of punching the victim in the face, the predator used a taser – a KL-800 Type Stun Gun capable of generating 1.8 million volts.
The assailants had scouted the site, the victim and even practiced firing the taser. But then it all went wrong. Or right.
When Marvell Weaver jammed the taser into the ribs of the still unidentified man and pulled the trigger, it jammed. The target pulled out his .40 caliber Smith and Wesson and shot Weaver as he tried to escape to the getaway van where two of his accomplices waited.
According to MLive.com:
“Weaver ran, sat down across the street, his leg going numb, bleeding. Pleading.
“‘I’m sorry, please don’t kill me, I don’t know why I did that, I’m high you know, I just wanna go home,’” the teen told the man who had just shot him.

Don't know about Michigan, but in California shooting a fleeing perp is grounds for being charged with attempted murder.
he should have said “I’m O..... son”....
It’s too bad he didn’t rapidly shoot him several times (”until the threat was neutralized”). A second thought shot between the eyes would have been deserved, but wouldn’t pass judicial muster.
If the taser had worked, and the guy was on the ground, there’s a good chance the whole team would have laughingly worked him over as they robbed him.
Leg, my foot - heard about this yesterday on Hannity.
Bullet found its mark where it should have gone - in the perp’s ass ...
‘I’m sorry, please don’t kill me, I don’t know why I did that, I’m high you know, I just wanna go home,’” the teen told the man who had just shot him.
Shoulda finished off the cowardly little jerk right there
” “‘I’m sorry, please don’t kill me, I don’t know why I did that, I’m high you know, I just wanna go home,’” the teen told the man who had just shot him.”
Cowardly, whiny little bitch.
Sleazy plaintiff lawyers circling in to sue the good guy.
I have been waiting for this to happen. I am surprised it hasn’t been more common.
Too bad it didn't go up instead of in.
Never bring a taser to a gunfight.
—— OR ——
“Don’t tase me, bro! Or I’ll put a cap in your ass!”
If it was me, the bullet would have gone into his head, followed by another and another. Because I was scared and the animal said he was gonna kill me and he reached for another weapon and I felt that my life was threatened, etc.
I think it's pretty much the same in every State.
Once the perp is no longer a threat, self defense becomes moot.
Doesn't mean he is less deserving in my book, but the law doesn't see it that way...unfortunately.
“Bullet found its mark where it should have gone - in the perp’s ass .”
Shot him right in the fundament! An embarrassing scar for life!
‘Tis why I CCW. Hope they never do me.
The non-human life-form would have laughed and joked with its fellow blobs of protoplasm if they had been successful.
It’s just a game.
I wonder if”Marvell”is of”The Darker Persuasion”??????????
