Skyrad 0 #3 September 29, 2010 Quote She called police and they came, but after officers left, the boy came back. That was when Matthews responded with gunfire. So why didn't she call them again? If everyone on the block knew about this kid and their behaviour then why did no one else call the Police or back the woman up? This story is a sad indictment of the society in which the woman lives.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

lost_n_confuzd 0 #6 September 29, 2010 QuoteQuote So why didn't she call them again? Maybe she didn't have to to call the police and cause the boys are not going to stand around while the police show up. Sometimes one has to act in thier own interest and safety. It seems as though she or a neighbor did call the police after the boy was shot. You don't think someone has the right to defend their self? Quote If everyone on the block knew about this kid and their behaviour then why did no one else call the Police or back the woman up? The story does not say that the police have not been called out before on account of these boys. As far as backing the woman up, according to the article her neighbors did back her up and say the shooting was justified. Someone even called the police to post bail in case she had been arrested. Quote This story is a sad indictment of the society in which the woman lives. True. I guess his GSW will rack up some street cred.
