    It does seem strange that no arrests have been made yet. Perhaps we have heard only one side of the story and the video conflicts with that side of the event.

    Not quite. That is when you aim a gun out your window or even better, get on an intercom (everyone should have one) and announce they got 30 seconds to get off the property before they get served a lead salad. You don't go to the front door and open it holding a gun, lol.

    I'm not trying to fault the victim, but if the dad had just went back inside his house, his son would probably have a father. I'm not saying it's his fault, he did have options that didn't lead to his death.

    From the way she described the incident but said she couldn't watch the footage, I assumed she was there.

    He 100% should not have stepped out to talk to them like men, since they're trash.

    I think you're assuming a lot about this incident and how incidents like this could play out. We don't know exactly how the attackers approached the home or whether they gave the victim any reason to be concerned until he'd opened the door. Or are you suggesting that any unexpected visitor should be immediately threatened with a gun and forced to leave?

    Maryland dad Christopher Wright beaten to death over money dispute, family suspects he was hit with blunt object

    snips:

    “On Wednesday Trenton was walking near the school and a kid — not related to the [fatal] fight — came up to him and said ‘I stole $30 from your girlfriend’ or something along those lines,” Karopchinsky told The Post.

    “He had the money in his hands. Trenton went to get the money and in reaction, hit the kid. He hit him once and that was the end of it.”

    "Karopchinsky explained Trenton had been suspended from school last Monday over another fight, and when he went back to school Friday morning a group of friends — some who would show up on her doorstep later that day — began harassing him.'

    "Right before lunch he walked into the bathroom there were about 20 people in there, including the one kid who wanted to fight him,” she said. “The other kids were there to watch and video the fight.”

    and it continued

    no, you do not lose rights.... you lose privileges, is owning a gun a privilege or a right?

    if it's a privilege, it's not a right - is that what you want it to be?

    Friday, May 19 and no arrests yet?
    The cops know who the suspects are.

    They have raised their gofundme goal from the $50K cited in the article to $300K.

    As for the underlying story, unfortunate situation but it sounds like his teenage son may have been the aggressor up until the incident at the house. IDK.

    In these sorts of cases liberals say call the police apprently not knowing or caring the police do not have a Constitutional requirement to provide assistance. This fact was ruled on by SCOTUS in 2005 but this is a lower court case ruled on in 1975 that is an interesting read.

    So how would you have avoided being beat to death? Cowering in your house hoping the door wasn't kicked in? Verbal or physical Ninjutsu? The ever popular liberal weapon you people often recomend for home invasions, i.e., a baseball bat. Inquiring minds want to know.

    I can't tell you the number of times a liberal has told me all one needed to defend their family against a home invasion was a baseball bat. lol

    Are you actually trying to justify a brutal murder of a father being beaten to death in front of his family?

    The only thing that we know for sure is that the victim is dead and that he did not have a gun.

    If he had a gun there's a very great probability that he would not be dead right now

    I would have went back in my home, called the police, and sat down to watch TV.

    And if your door was kicked in? Or if the police did not respond?

    What i call a low bar is a low bar. The fact remains that there is no evidence that any of the assailants were armed, and any fiction in which the victim was armed must also acknowledge that the assailants could have also been armed, and that a gun fight would have been much worse.
    I understand that to a firearm fellationist pretending that a gun would have made the situation better is a warming thought, but I'll remind any of them that its just that, pretending.

    Do you understand English? My position was that the assailants could be assumed to be unarmed. What you call a low bar is agreeing with you. lol

    Firearm fellatio? A fantasy of yours perhaps.

    Always the false claim from you people that if honest people cannot have guns then criminals will not have guns.

    THEY DIDN'T SHOW UP WITH GUNS.

    Did you miss that part?

    If the homeowner owned a gun he could've just gotten it and then he'd be alive.

    Stop with the stupid fictional scenario in which the homeowner owning a gun automatically means the ones who came looking for a fight would magically have guns too. They showed up without guns, that's a fact. If the homeowner owned a gun and had gotten it he'd be alive.

    This is an incredibly simple thing to comprehend.

    Three teens and two men came to finish a fight with a 14 year old boy? Gangbangers come to mind.
    The poor man who sought to protect his fiance's son didn't stand a chance. Shouldn't be hard to find out the identity of the teen who came to finish the school fight. Yeah, too bad Wright wasn't armed.

    So, the suspects are believed to be 3 or 4 white males ranging in age from mid-20s to mid-30s and they came to finish a fight with a 14 year old boy? What kind of bullies are they? And yes, the deceased most certainly did have a right to self-defend with a weapon of his choice. If he had a chance, he should have just closed the door and called the police, but if they persisted, and tried to enter his home, he was within his right to legally defend himself with a gun or other weapons.

    agree, going outside to confront them after what was said was not smart, I would have done the same as you

    that said, still doesn't justify what happened to him and the killers are still the bad guys

    not through the door without justification, shoot first ask questions later is also not a good response

    if they "force" their way in... shoot all you want

    If I recall correctly, she wasn't home.
