Cleveland Teen Shot For Stealing Car

Post by gilly32 »

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio – A 17-year-old boy was shot Sunday by the driver of a car he tried to steal outside a Cleveland Heights gas station, police said.
The driver who shot at his car turned himself in later Sunday at the Cleveland Heights Police Department. He remains in custody but has not been charged with a crime, Mecklenburg said Monday afternoon.

Using deadly force to protect property is not allowed in the state of Ohio. Would this fall under felonious assault?

"The right to keep and bear arms is rooted in both self-defense and insurance against government’s propensity toward tyranny. The right pre-existed the Constitution. Thus, the Second Amendment is not its source. The right to keep and bear arms is natural and inalienable; the Second Amendment protects it, and Congress has no legitimate power to restrict it." - Senator John Cornyn (R., Tex.), as reported in the National Review on July 4, 2016

Hopefully the teens learned a valuable lesson.

I'd mention how it looked like the teen was turning the car around to run me over and I was in fear for my life.

BREAKING NEWS..... Teenager that was shot stealing a man's car that the victim worked hard for, has sued the victim and was awarded millions for his pain and suffering. Yes, crime does pay big. (I bet this could come true)

It has in England. Sorry, no citations of court cases, just memories of news stories.

Just in case anyone forgot that the 17 year old is a "boy" the article mentions it at least 11 times. :roll:

Sounds like a racist designation to me.

Not racist, ageism.

Don't expect me to feel sorry for this "boy". It is probably the first time in his life that he got what he deserves.
