NY prosecutes good neighbor: Chris Cervini, 17, a junior at Hilton High School, was fatally shot about 3:30 a.m. on Baneberry Way, just off Manitou Road. Roderick Scott, 41, of Baneberry Way was charged with second-degree murder. Police said they responded to a call about 3:30 a.m. of people possibly breaking into cars on Baneberry Way. They found Cervini shot dead in a driveway and located two other teens involved in the incident.... Greece Police Chief Merritt Rahn told media members near the scene that a man who lived on Baneberry Way had heard noises outside his house and had confronted the group. Rahn said that the man told officers that during the confrontation, one of the teens charged him, and he fired a handgun twice, striking one of the teens. Police allege Scott shot the teen with a legally registered .40-caliber handgun. Wise would not say how many times Scott may have fired the weapon. Whether the teens were breaking into cars is part of the investigation, Wise said. But, he said, Scott cannot claim his property was the target of a crime. "It wasn't his vehicle (at risk)," Wise said. "It wasn't his property." [Hopefully, the Grand Jury will toss the charge out]


Tennessee: Police Say Dad Shot Son in Fight: "Metro Police believe a father shot his 32-year old son, but he may not face charges. Investigators think the gunshots were the result of a fight. Investigators said, late Saturday afternoon in North Nashville, a father and son were fighting when the shooting happened. Police do not anticipate charges against the father because they say he was acting in self defense. The son is in critical, but stable condition."

I think if you are to be taken seriously and not be automatically summed up as meathead with more testosterone than brains, you may want to prove it with spelling you "motto" correctly.

You write:
"Monitoring people's right to effective self-defence..."

Maybe it's right the way you have it... we might be better off if you build a de-"fence" around yourself so we all know we are safe
