I don't think this law is stupid at all but I don't think it should apply to this particular case. As someone stated before if you were getting chased by a car and a cop hit someone else and killed that person while chasing you, you should be convicted of murder. It was your fault that that person died. If you weren't such an idiot and went on a high speed chase it would of never happened. In this case though these guys went in and burglarized the house and beat up the kid on their own will. Nobody forced them to commit this crime. They didn't have a gun pointed to their heads. They did it on there own will. The guy who got away didn't make them do it. Just because the guy ended up escaping doesn't mean he should take the fall and be convicted of murder. They all went in and robbed the place together, all on their own will. Whatever happened was there own fault. Buglary and assualt yes, murder, hell no. Secondly I'm sick of people keep on saying racist this racist that. These idiots went into someones home beat a kid in the head with a bat and left permanent brain damage to him and try to rob a guy. They get what was coming to them. The guy was scared and was just trying to protect his family. How is that racist? Then that lady says they had their backs turned. Ummm yeah if someone pulled out a gun the first thing I would do is run. Should he have killed them? I don't know. Do I think he should be in trouble for it, nope. Did what he had to do. To be honest I have no idea what I would of done. But I think what he did was justified. I don't feel sympathy for criminals.
