Chief Tango sends us a link to the story of a 17-year-old who was killed by a passerby when the youth attempted to rob a third person in Wisconsin (as near as I can figure);
Police say the shooter, a 60-year-old man who apparently overpowered the robber, stayed on the scene and gave a statement to police. Capt. Victor Beecher said the investigation indicated that the younger man had a shotgun, but the older man got control of it in a struggle, and the robbery suspect was shot.
The shooting took place just before midnight in the 3500 block of N. 23rd St, police said.
“The . . . robbery suspect died despite efforts of the Milwaukee Fire Department who treated him at the scene,” said a statement from Beecher.

One less punk the taxpayers will have to feed, clothe, and house.
I would say good for the old man but I am older. Again the right person got shot and the good guy lives to shoot another day. Most important he, he is alive.
He was probably just trying to raise money so he could take his GED.
Did anyone else see some double meaning in the last part of that quote? That’s an oddly specific way of saying it. Either way, glad it wasn’t the other way around.
What #1 said.
@3 I just laughed coffee out my nose! Raising money to pay for a GED! That’s great. I agree one less load on we taxpayers. But someone else will be cashing his welfare checks.
If Obaomao had a son, would this dead turd look like Teh One?
I expect there will be a correction issued soon since the reporter obviously got some facts wrong. There’s no way the alleged robber could have been 17, it would have been illegal for him to own a gun.
Monday Morning Lesson: Don’t phuck with an old guy. He’ll kill you.
Thanks for a “Monday Morning Feel Good Story.”
Ditto #1.
The kid was 18, I am so sorry this happened…
It has come out that he was going to counseling for anger management and needed the money for his co-pay…
Medical Assistance requires a $1.00 co-pay for services provided….
This poor kid, he needed love is all he needed…
Snort, snort, snort !!!
(Spews coffee out his nose and ruins yet another mouse !!!)
He was 18 though.

Majmike !!!
How does the old saying go ???
I carry a gun cause I am too old to run and way too old to take an ass whippin’ !!!
Now, now, the poooor young man was just a victim of Society lashing out over his oppression,…*BUUUURRRRRP!*. Anyone who thinks like that is just as guilty as the criminals. I carry a gun because carrying a Cop around would ruin my back!!
Criminals love Gun Control Laws, they make life easier for them!
@11- I heard he needed the money for Skittles. I wonder if the MSM is going to adopt this kid and start sharing his baby pictures with us.
Actually, I think all of you are wrong. This young man was an ardent, above average student that gradjurated at the head of his class from the “basic agent training course”(BATC) for the Obama Administations “Department of Wealth Redistribution” herein after referred to as DWoR. His intel was simply jacked up all to hell and went to the wrong wealth redistribution point. /sarc off
@12 and @13 you made me LMAO! Now I have to wipe my nose and chin from coffee. The story will come out about how he was a great son, good neighbor and friend to all in need and was working hard to get his life together. Usually comes from the families of these ass wipes. One less person in the house to count for welfare allotment. Sorry you read no sympathy in my post. But people who play with shotguns with other people can end up just like him…dead. I bet he didn’t start his day out thinking, “man I am going to screw the pooch today!”
One less oxygen thief in the world.
I have zero sympathy for anyone who does this, no matter their age.
I like the designation of “boy” when he was committing armed felonies. I don’t think the courts would have considered him a boy nor his victims.
@12: It goes “Too young to die, too old to take an ass whoopin”.
@12 — Roger that!!
Never been much of a runner, so I concentrated on shooting skills. I tell people that I’m a heavily armed pacifist who refuses to take his meds.
Lets hope that his attainment of room temperature occurred before he reproduced those criminal genes. However at 17 he is more than likely the father of three, husband of none. I’m sure that all of his baby mamas will file for social security benefits for his survivors. These thugs sure do leave a lot of fatherless kids in their wakes.
Enjoy your dirt nap son, It’s probably the only thing in your life you actually earned!
