Here is a better article with a little info on the victim.

I sense a disturbance in the force... Like a million faces being palmed at once.

I think that article sucks.
-Guys has been having 9 year feud with guy arrested.
-Kids loss basketabll in backyard, and go to retrieve it.
-Man chases kids away with a kitchen knife.
-Group of 20 comes back and beats the stew out of the guy.
-Out of that 20, ONE says something about Martin?

I kinda think it obvious that this goes back way further than Martin. Arrest the participants, and let's try to keep the media from race baiting.

This was also posted in Carry Issues & Self Defense. Although this has racial overtones, the guy, based on his past actions "repeated arrests for assault", "threatened neighbor kids with kitchen knives", etc. Sounds to me like an idiot with an attitude didn't maintain situational awareness and got his butt (and many other places) beat by a mob. While I hope the perps all get arrested, charged and tried, I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for the victim.

I think I was compelled to share the article because its a good example of why I'm loosing faith in my fellow human beings.
