Default Re: Brag: My buddy killed a guy who tried to rob his party

Chances of a retaliation from dead guy's friends and family?

My first consideration; I'd assume that would happen.

Especially since his address was published in the newspaper (and on the internet).

Here's a link to some video coverage of this story:

Fox News Memphis

What gets me is the caption for the video, though:

[ QUOTE ]
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WHBQ FOX13 myfoxmemphis.com) -- A late-night party at a Cordova apartment complex turns deadly for one attempted robber, when the intended victims take the law into their own hands. FOX13's Cori Lake reports from the scene.

Something about that wording just rubs me wrong. Defending yourself against armed robbery equals "taking the law into your own hands"? This was self-defense, not vigilanteism...

Agreed. The media can be total sensationalist dickwads.
