That much is clear, yes.  He was a thug who lacked manners and respect.

However, you went beyond that, and your assumption that his mother didn&#039;t train him properly is a thin attempt to embellish.  That would be like me commenting on your own sibling&#039;s behavior and then telling the world your mother didn&#039;t attempt to teach anyone in your family right from wrong.

You might be correct about the thug&#039;s upbringing, or you might not.  The point is that you presented your comment in a factual context, when it was only your personal assumption.  That&#039;s not good reporting, and doesn&#039;t lend a wider credence to your articles.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The terrifying thing in America is an 11 year old black kid. Who using justified violence to defend himself and his older family members.  And the second most terrifying thing in america is a white , eleven year old kid. Who has  the same morals. And does the same thing.

It&#039;s why they hate having fathers in the home who provide 
love and discipline. Including protection. 

And it&#039;s why they always hated the boy scouts who also provide discipline and moral guidance.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#060;i&#034;Jones-Walker hadn’t been taught not to beat women...&#034;&lt;/i&gt;

That appears to be an assumption on the author&#039;s part, and not good journalism.  My own mother definitely taught me to treat women well, and decades later I&#039;m still married to my high school sweetheart and best friend.  My brother received the same training as I did, but has committed adulteries, divorced his past wives (yes, plural), slept with other mens&#039; wives, treated women poorly, cut off all ties with our mother, and is currently under scrutiny for a serious crime against a past romantic partner for financial gain.  Same wholesome upbringing, but two very different outcomes because we all make our own decisions.  Rejection of such upbringing is why we have the word &quot;rebel&quot; in our lexicon.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I am confused.  There are tons of articles telling us that we need extensive training to be able to deploy a firearm responsibly and effectively for self-defense.  Of course the odds that this 11 year-old boy in Philadelphia had a bunch of training is basically zero.  And yet he put a single decisive shot on target to stop his mother&#039;s violent attacker.  Note that the violent attacker was probably moving around while beating his mom and his mom was likely moving around as well trying to protect herself, both of which increase the potential difficulty of employing a firearm effectively and responsibly.  Nevertheless, result.

I am a huge &lt;i&gt;proponent&lt;/i&gt; of training and practice.  I want everyone to get as much training and practice as humanly possible.  At the same time, I am a huge &lt;i&gt;opponent&lt;/i&gt; of requirements that everyone must have extensive training and practice before they can own/use a firearm for emergency self-defense.  There are too many examples to count where people with no prior training use a firearm effectively and responsibly to save lives.  That is why extensive training is highly desirable and yet cannot ever be an entry barrier to firearm ownership and use.]]></description>
