INTENDED KNOCKOUT GAME VICTIM SHOOTS BACK
WND ^ | 08/27/13 | Colin Flaherty

Posted on 08/28/2013 1:46:02 PM PDT by Anila

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.

Right - victims fault. He should have let the kid beat him to a pulp first before firing. Sleazy lawyer will argue the kid was just foolin’ -

I don’t know why I did that

Considering the room temperature IQ of most of these "teens" this is probably a true statement.

This also raises an important question. If these "teens" have such little cognitive ability that they operate purely on instinct and emotion, acting out on a whim and posing a mortal threat to everyone around them should why should they be allowed to roam freely, let alone vote and operate heavy machinery.

The police seem to get away with it on a regular basis.

Cowardly, whiny little bitch.

Yup, can't call this one a "Native-black Savage"....which proves I'm not a racist.

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.

And taken his own gun and shot him with it while he was incapacitated.

Marvel Weaver is the second coming of St. Skittles. He’ll be praised to the highest while the state destroys his victim’s life.

Right - but I was thinking of this case and what some defense lawyer would come up with as an argument to get his client acquitted.

““‘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.”

It should be perfectly legal to kill this animal right in the street.

Don't know about Michigan, but in California shooting a fleeing perp is grounds for being charged with attempted murder.

Not much longer and California is going to crumble. Of all the States, California is the closes to a communists controlled environment in the United States.
