Jet Ski Thief Killed By 14-Year-Old With Shotgun

•  " he was just finding out what he is in life....."  Um, what, a f*****g THIEF?! "..... and learning from experience"  Some of life's lessons are harsh. No sympathy from THIS victim of theft.

• I went to London recently and people were walking on the streets at all hours of the night with no fear of safety. I think the UK is doing ok. I can't say the same thing for people walking in Miami at all hours and feeling safe.

•  Sad thing is I knew him, and yes this is very sad because he was deaf. I grow up with the 20 year old who got shot, and even though this late in the topic, how would you feel if it was your son, and he was just finding out what he is in life, and learning from experience... Not so hot shit now huh... Yes, steeling is wrong, killing someone without warning, or shooting them in the head, if a threat has not been made on your life, Wrong. Think about that next time you read this kind of article.

• Yeah, and you a fucking dipshit.

• Completely agree Aupey, And I've about had it with people like MagnanaMouse who are nothing but apologists for the trash in our communities.

• Oh my god what a FUCKING TOOL YOU ARE! AND A FUCKING LIBTARD TO BOOT! I wager you've never even held a gun, as your FUCKING WORTHLESS LIBTARD PARENTS probably told how eeeeeeeevil they are. GO FUCK YOURSELF!

• Sounds like your another thief who's frightened of what his actions may bring.

• WORKS FOR ME.

• "You don't kill people for taking your stuff." I will. You don't like that? Then maybe you and your thief friends better find another line of work.

• Oh look. just another stupid libtard. By the way I mistakenly gave you a "Liked" as I was hurriedly trying to hit the reply button to respond to your dumb a.s.s. You want to come and try and take them from me? You sure about that P.R.I.C.K?

• Thank GOD we live in a society that will allow us to protect ourselves and property. You Brits let a bunch of ANIMALS destroy parts of your city this summer.   No wonder we yanks think you are a bunch of limp noodles.

• All you people dawging the kid in this situation and callin rednecks dumbasses, are dumbasses yourselves. Im 14. Im a country boy WITH common since. someone happends to break into my house or trys to steal my property, damn right ill shoot. KILLING someone is a last resort and it happens. The kid did the only thing he could

• For the people who are in the defense of the burglar. Reply with your full home address and let whoever see’s it (burglar) come to your house to burglaries you, and then reply back to let everybody else know the outcome, that is if you make it. Point here is, to judge somebody’s measures is not possible without stepping in their shoes. First, the family had a similar matter occur; in 2009 Yasmin Davis (mother of the shooter) was attacked by three armed gunmen in her driveway. Second, having said that, knowing the original outcome of the event, what would you (criminal defendant) say if the criminal got a hold of the boy before the boy had a chance to obtain the gun and killed the boy? How can you defend someone who could possibly one day do the same to you, and maybe even realize that bringing a gun to his/her next crime would be a good idea? Have empathy for the Davis family.

• Sure stand up!! But was a lethal shot to the head??

• a society that is afraid to steal because the person they are stealing from might blow your damn head off!!! Idiot

• what part of THIEF do you idiots not understand. Good for the girl. Someone buy her a HIT-Girl T-shirt....

• Yeah!!!!!! Love you LawMom3!!!!!!!!!

•  Let's put into perspective the fact that this kid's family, or the kid himself, worked many hard hours to provide something nice for their family, only to have some jackass who knows nothing about hard work and it's benefits come along and take it without any respect for anyone else. If he had merely been caught by disgusting cops, an unlikely event, he MIGHT have done SOME jail time only to be released and do it again. So, yes, the penalty for stealing a wave runner should be death. Now, If he was stealing some food for his survival, I could surely sympathize with your logic. However, a wave runner is not a source of nutrition. I once had some jackass steal my car. The end result was that I lost my job because I was unable to make the 30 mile trip to work and had my insurance premiums shoot up. Do you think the thief gave a shit about my circumstance?

• Kudos to the 14 year old kid! And, where were the cops? Oh yeah! They are busy arresting victims. Cops are disgusting!

• No matter what anyone says, the penalty for stealing a waverunner IS NOT DEATH!!

• If I was 14 years old and I saw my $2000 jet ski being robbed, I would have taken my cell phone out, called the cops and let that be the end of it. And if I felt threatened and thought it was a live or death situation I would've aimed the gun lower, maybe at the leg, not kill the guy. And they can't say he was threatening them afterall the man was deaf. I wonder what the hell type of parents would raise their children that way??... Oh yeah you rednecks that reproduce with your cousins and can't even spell. Ha what an embarrasment to America.

• Sounds like your swimming in it!

• The UK was once a great nation that stood up for it's principles, but has now become a bastion of liberalism and political correctness gone awry, where criminals and radicalized Muslims have more rights than native law abiding Brits. Sadly, the US is descending down the same path, thanks in large part to organizations like the ACLU and the Democrats.

• You seem to think stealing is ok. If this person had not gone to steal he would be alive today.I am quite sure he would vigorously defend his property when he was alive, so why did he forget to do unto others as you would ..........?

• In Jail?  He will get a medal.  And if you try to justify somebody trying to get on my property with the same idea, I may not own a shotgun, but my preference is for 9 mm parabellum, and yes, I am ready.  Face the consequence of your actions.

• Premeditated?  The distinguished gentleman came onto somebody else's property looking for trouble - and trouble found him.  That he lost his life while engaging in a premeditated crime came about because of his actions.  Do not blame young Mr. Davis.  He was defending his home.  The reason for the whole tragedy were the actions of this poor misguided individual.  Now all of us should pray for the girlfriend who will now be charged with felony murder, as she was directly involved in the actions that resulted in the death of Mr. Munoz.

• THE 8th COMMANDMENTExodus 20:15 Thou shalt not steal. I can only wonder at the impossibility of understanding such a simple commandment by some people who do not want to understand it.  I shall pray to God to find an easier way to make some people understand such a simple concept, hoping they do not lose their life in the process - as the law gives you every right to defend your property and your home.  Now the person who is really going to pay for this is the girlfriend. 

• 14 yr old Jack Davis couldn't have felt too threatened to exit a secure dwelling, walk towards the dock out back and shoot the suspected thief in the *back* of the head. The kid's mother was home also, so have to wonder what on earth she was thinking to tell or let Dirty Harry Junior go forth to detain or execute the trespasser? Why not call 911, Miami Shores PD has an average response time under three minutes. Wonder if the Davis's sophisticated video cctv system recorded any of the event?

• This should be a use of the D.S.a.F finding by the court . Did Society a Favor . Also saved the state some money . Good riddance to bad rubbish .

• Its wrong to shoot someone over a jet ski- let the kid pay for his crime as well.  $1.00 fine for taking the law into his (young) own hands.  Then give him a "kid of the year" honor for standing up to these morons that steal.  GREAT SHOT Kid!

• moron, if all thieves and scumbags were executed, who would run the government and the multinational corporations?

• oh the stupidity! the reason this kid shot and killed the thief is perfectly exemplified by so many of the utterly clueless comments of those who think it was a good thing. barely human stupid un-self-aware morons who lack empathetic imagination.  in fact they are worse than the kid - he at least is young and probably raised on a steady diet of violent video games and his family was victimized not too long ago by armed thugs in their home. those providing supporting commentary in here (presumably adults) are feeding and expressing their irrational and obtuse anger from a safe place in cold blood. you should be ashamed of yourself if you feel anything but sorrow for this tragedy that has occurred to both families. this ugliness of soul should not be allowed to parade about in the daylight. like roaches, it should be relegated to the darkness that is inside each of us and only there find an escape and safe harbor from scorn and ridicule.

• UK burglary victims attacked in their own home once every 30 minutes. How's that working out for you? Your laws are so screwed up that your Olympic Pistol Team has to practice in Switzerland and France.Not saying our laws are perfect, but your burglars must feel pretty good about their chances in breaking into your home whether you're there or not. Ever heard of Munir Hussain?  I'm sure you have.  He beat with a cricket bat one of the masked men who held his family hostage at knifepoint in their own home.  Who do you suppose was sent to prison?  Munir Hussain.  This poor man was minding his own business and threatened with death in his own home.  Burglars should feel uneasy entering someone else's property.  Instead, your judges rule that property owners who defend themselves and aren't remorseful about it will not be released on parole because "he would continue to pose a danger to any other burglars.”Of course he should pose a danger to burglars.  Burglars are scum.  Not saying they should be killed.  I'm saying they should be afraid to enter someone's home and have their way with whoever is there.

• Why oh why are you, as a nation allowed to own guns as a matter of right? No wonder the world thinks of the U.S. as still a bunch of cowboys both at home and abroad. C.cooper London UK

• NOT self defense to blow off the head of a person stealing something from your yard or next to it. Self defense only comes into play when a person has a legitimate, rational reason to believe that his life or the lives of family members are in danger. This story says the thief was just trying to make off with the JetSki. Absent a different set of facts these do not support self-defense and he could probably legitimately be prosecuted for manslaughter or even second degree murder. Agree the kid was likely scared out of his mind and now he has to deal with the fact that he took a human life. This is hard enough for many soldiers to process, and that's when people have been shooting at them. Here's a decision this kid made in a split second, and it was the wrong decision because no one deserves to die for a theft. The thief was wrong, but the issue is best solved by prosecuting and jailing him, not by killing him. This kid will probably replay those few minutes in his head for the rest of his life - unless he's a sociopath. If he's a normal kid this is a life-changing moment and not for the good. He's stuck with the knowledge that he'll be known to everyone of his acquaintance as "the kid who shot the thief", and he'll have ignorant fools calling him a hero for taking a human life that didn't need to be taken and other ignorant fools treating him as if he's damaged goods and not necessarily wanting him around them or their kids because they might worry about his willingness to resort to lethal force.  This incident will make him different to everyone who knows him, and that's damned difficult when you're a 14 year old kid and the most important thing in the world is to be considered one of the guys, a kid the same as any other kid.  You fools going on about how great this is have no idea just how damaging this incident has been to that kid.  

• TROLL..........

• Riiigghhht, it's always a good idea to let people, particularly teenagers, make instant life or death decisions and use deadly weapons when their own lives and others are not at risk. Let me ask you something: what if he'd shot at this guy, but because he was excited might have missed his aim and hit someone else, perhaps a child or some other innocent person; what would you call that, collateral damage?  Such things HAVE happened. In fact, I remember a case in my own area where a man woke up hearing something moving in his bedroom and he grabbed his loaded handgun and shot toward the noise, tearing the face off his 3 year old who'd just come in to see Daddy in the middle of the night.  When you say anyone who thinks they're being robbed or taken advantage of should have the ability to use deadly force and you establish a standard that's far lower than what we demand of our trained, professional police forces, then you're inviting the deaths of innocents. I've been a criminal lawyer for 26 years and there's a lot of stupid out there. Moreover, do you think it's going to be that easy for this kid to live with the knowledge that he's taken a human life?  Sure, it always SOUNDS easy, but after he's had time to process it and realizes that he killed a human being for a $2,000 piece of property he's either going to have to develop an utter callousness about what he did - which will in turn make him a pretty lousy human being - or he's going to be dealing with guilt and second thoughts about his actions.

• and in a bit of a twist RAZOR, i just looked at your twitter, and its funny how the first post i see is this" what country tortures, detains people without trail, has rotting cities, high unemployment, and severe politcal corruption? USA USA USA"   which now means your a hypocrite, because you just said the criminal was a scumbag who deserved to die, however i dont believe he ever got the chance to see a trial to find him guilty, not to mention you acknowledge a high unemployment rate in the USA, yet a guy who could possibly have been a target of that, who could have been stealing a jetski to sell and feed a family, is now a scumbag and deserved to die, wow...hyporcite much?

• i love how everyone is posting how the guy was a scumbag criminal and deserved it, im not a fan of the bible or anything, but i think that a perfec tverse from it sums up my thoughts, "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone". Im willing to bet that everybody on here talking about how bad the criminal is, IS NOT an angel themselves, but hey if youve actually gone thru your entire life, and have never done ANYTHING wrong, or broke ANY law, feel free to talk shit about the criminal. (and not getting caught doesnt mean you didnt break it, also just because the law isnt enforced doesnt mean you didnt break it, so that means any of you who have even had sex without being married, which is pre-maritial sex finable by a $250 dollar fine, has broken the law before or anybody has been speeding while driveing) otherwise maybe you should think about how you would feel if lets see while having sex with a girl (or guy) when you were 16 and losing your virginity, what if his/her dad walked in and shot you in the face with his shotgun? in essence hes protecting his property(which is his family) but im sure now all since its a debate going on you will all claim to be perfect citizens who all waited till marriage to have sex, never speed, and never stole anything, or tresspassed when you were a teen. yea, cant wait to see these responses

• any parent who lets there 9 year old have access and knowledge to use a gun are irresponsible pieces of trash. Kids may or may not be mature, they still should not have access to guns, i could even deal with a mature kid having knowlegde, of a gun at certain ages depending on the maturity level, but they should NOT have access to them. If this 14 year old had the knowledge and no acess, then this would not have happened. but he was probably raised shown how to shoot guns, and then told if anyone he doesnt know comes on the property to shoot them, which i just cant see stealing a jet ski a death sentence crime, now im saying that stealing is right, but you dont know anything about the criminals situation, AT ALL. now i wont say the ends will neccesarily justify the means, and im sure his intentions of stealing the jet ski were for personal gain, but in retrospect if the guy was deaf and mute, you have no clue what his motives could have been in this shithole of an economy. but in the end it still comes down to, it did not deserve a death sentence, as somebody else said, i doubt that 14 year old was just hanging in the back yard playing with the shotgun, which means he either came out of the house (where he WAS NOT being threatened at all), or he went inside to get the gun (which means the shot was premediated murder) either which way, i believe its the parents fault for not having there guns securly locked up, and they probably taught the kid to do that. But for all you people who think the criminal deserved it, i hope the next time you get pulled for going speeding, the cop walks up to your car, yells weapon, and shoots you in the face. Then if by some fucking random chance, you manage to survive, im willing to bet everything i own your opinion changes, and dont try to say theres a difference, stealing and speeding are both illegal, which would make you a criminal as well, the severit of the crime doesnt matter in this case considering the criminal was stealing, no murdering, raping, or kidnapping or anything along those lines.

• Damn skippy.

• The cops never catch these people.  Cops don't investigate property crimes anymore all they do is take a report and expect you to call your insurance company.  The more theives die this way the less people will want to become thieves.

• Don't blame liberals, I'm as liberal as it gets wanting to legalize drugs, gay marriage, and everything else.  Shooting someone in your yard for robbing you is a liberal standpoint, charging the person is a conservative standpoint.

• yes because I'm sure some day this thief was goign to cure cancer right?  What do you do to parasites? You kill them.

• Stop protecting criminals more than citizens.  The guy was a thief and a scumbag and deserved to die.

• Because it fucking awesome that people at times in thier lives stand up and fight back instead of just rolling over and being the victim hopeing the goverment will save them from every little papercut or skined knee.

• So that only the criminals have guns? Why do so many people from Miami identify with the criminals?

• He pre-meditated that the guy was going to rob him???

• "Killing a guy who is sneaking off with something you don't want him to sneak off with: Not OK." Wow, how do you guys plan on holding on to all your stuff??? Ok, we get, it, criminals hate it when people defend themselves. Do all the people of Miami associate with criminals?

• George Washington didn't use his right of free speech to defeat the British, he shot them. 

• We don't have the death penalty for property theft in this country. The kid could easily have just called the cops. Bet he had a cell phone on him. We don't allow cops to kill people accused of theft, why should we allow any jackanape with a shotgun to kill first and ask questions later?

• The fear of getting shot is such a better deterrent than the fear of getting arrested for 4 hours and released. Yey kid!..... and a head shot too. 20 points.

• A 22 year-old adult stealing two jet skis so his girlfriend and him could have something to play with isn't exactly someone I'd want around. I think the 14 year-old did us a favor. It's not like it was a kid stealing something small from a convenience store and if the kid had confronted the man it could've turned out worse.  Booyah.

• Or maybe he was a responsible child? Not every child is immature and can't be trusted. Even adults, especially the ones that add "Booyah" and other dumb phrases at the end of ranting paragraphs.

• "premeditated mur·derPremeditated murder is the crime of wrongfully causing the death of another human being (also known as murder) after rationally considering the timing or method of doing so, in order to either increase the likelihood of success, or to evade detection or apprehension."I don't believe it was pre-meditated murder.

• You're comparing apples to oranges. My, my.

•  Point of fact:  The guy the murderer assassinated would only be a criminal if he were arrested, charged, tried, and found guilty.  The only criminal here is the murderer who took  a deaf guy's life.  You'll see how the justice system works, and likely whine about it later.

•  Careful, posters.  I think sucking on them things is illegal down there, and may be considered a threat to the inbred life of a redneck, which may justify all of ya getting your heads blown off!  Booyah!

•  And one less person who thinks murder is an answer to worry about as well.  How's that eye-for-an-eye thing working out for ya now, Bubba?

•  The kid is a murderer.  Feel bad about it?  His cellmate, Bubba, will be making his little crapperhole feel bad about it for the next ten years or so. 

• Taking a lousy piece of equipment is a hell of a lot less criminal and heinous than blowing the back of the head off someone doing it.  People steal sometimes.  Desperation is a sad thing.  Murder, however, is NOT what any "good" person does unless he's stationed and under orders of the Commander in Chief.  Kid's a throwaway now.  Booyah.

•  I would gander he's one raised by parents who are less pieces of crap than yours. 

•  The kid wishes it was a sewer ape.  The charges would just be animal cruelty.  Unfortunately, it's probably gonna be 2nd degree murder for the little criminal.  Charged as an adult too.  It'll probably plea out to 2nd degree manslaughter to save some money for Florida graft that will funnel its way to your backwards-ass politicians, but the kid's gonna see hard time.  Only key this kid's going to see it is the one that locks his cell at night as he starts whimpering, hoping that Bubba doesn't stretch out his little crapperhole anymore.  Booyah.

•  Oh, I think the kid's murder trial will be costin' the state of Florida a bit more money than a quickie trial for theft.  You just wasted a lot of time proving you don't have a clue.  Booyah!

•  And, the little dillhole who commit murder is about to learn what it's like to have his little rear-hole stretched out wide once he's tried as an adult and given a nice place to think about it. Too bad *he* didn't learn a bit more in bible school.  You might think about it too, cos' you're dippin' your foot into the idiot pool.

•  Man, we got's to compete with the people who want to steal our freedoms!  The Taliban thinks they're gonna do all the shootin' up?  Screw that!  Steal a candy bar of mine, you gonna get the back of your head blown away, cos' I'm an idiot redneck!  Yeeee Haaaa!

•  Yeah, but those horse thieves were caught by constibles, charged, tried, convicted, then hung.  We got that fixed.  We all got us some guns, let's just blast anyone we think's a criminal!  Booyah!  Taliban ain't got NUTHIN' on our civilized, God-fearin' badassness!!

• Too bad the kid is now a "bad guy" too for pre-meditated murder (trust me, he will be prosecuted and convicted of a lesser, probably as an adult for 2nd degree manslaughter).  Dang, one for one is kind of the same logic as eye-for-an-eye.  But, booyah!  Let's blast em all!!

• I hate people who break speed limit laws.  It's dangerous and illegal!  Let's freakin' blow 'em all away!  One less speeder in the world!  Yeeeee Haaaa!

• Good thing they don't have a society where they have to protect property in the UK!!!!  With all those no-guns there, they'd be screwed!  We need our guns, cos' we ain't figured out how to have police forces protectin' us yet!  Free-for-all!  Let's blast our way to liberty and put the fear of God into everyone!  That'll show 'em!!

•  Playing hooky is illegal.  Skip school?  Let's freakin' gun 'em down!  Don't want your head blown off, stay in school, punk!  Yee Ha!!  Free-for-all!!

• So, I can kill anyone I want in Florida because people are scared of things because of things that have happened that are scary?  Free-for-all!  Let's shoot it up!!!

•  Ask people in the UK if that's how it is.  I love that we can all shoot each other like idiot monkeys, cos' it makes for funny news, and I love seeing idiots ruin their lives, but this argument don't wash kiddo.

• Of course he was deaf. He took a shotgun blast to the head. Me? Never been shot in the head by a shotgun... but then again, I haven't tried to STEAL someone else's property. Could there be a link??!!

• exactly my point, means your fucking parents were fucking worthless, KIDS SHOULD NOT HAVE GUNS, and im the fucktard? sounds to me like your some fucking hick ass faggot bitch whos dad probably left at birth, and mom did crack because she was a worthless slut, so you had to learn to shoot a gun at 9, either that or you are a redneck ass sheep fucker whos daddy didnt know what to do with cause when he fucked the sheep a kid didnt pop out. so shove it out your ass you worthless piece of shit, kids should not have access or the knowledgeto use guns for fucking reasons like this. whos a fucktard now you fucking anal assasin

• Here is the other issue.... Florida Law allows you to protect yourself if you fear for your life.  Well I am pretty darn sure that the 14 year old did not have a shot gun on his person just hanging out in the yard when he was "threatened" by the guy.  The kid responded from inside the house, where there was no threat from this guy, responded outside to the theft with a firearm, in and of itself, illegal.  Once he went inside the house to get the firearm, there is no longer a threat.  He then went after the suspect.  You can not go after the suspect in Florida with a firearm.  You can only defend yourself if attacked. 

• How do you know that Munoz wasjn't the kids dealer and came to collect. Why would someone show up to steal a Wave Runner with another one?.

• The article said the 14 year old boy claims that the perpetrator indicated he was armed and planned to harm them.  Well how is that when the deaf man could not speak and had no weapon.  Typical of a 14 year old that does not want to get in trouble, so he tells a story to get out of getting in trouble.

• when did everyone become such pussies.  I have no sympathy for what happened to the criminal if he didn't want to end up dead he should have stayed in school or got a job.  As for all of you idiots saying the boy should have shot in the leg i wonder what you would do if you were 14 and a grown adult was on your property trying to jack your ride.  Any firearms course will tell you you only aim a gun at something you wish to kill, not aim for the legs because its more politically correct.  I love how the people on here who take the boys side are labeled "rednecks" because they are advocates for gun rights.  This country was founded on guns and the right to protect yourself and your property.  You think Thomas Jefferson or George Washington would have any sympathy for this criminal.

• yup. apparently they dont get the whole concept of what is good for the goose is good for the gander. This is gonna make EVERYBODY more trigger happy SPECIALLY the cops. And i wouldnt blame them. IF a middle-class kid has a shotgun i would assume everybody in the damn city is armed. We truly are Mississippi with a tan

• douchebag

• I cant wait until armed enforcers are roaming through the streets of Florida - making "judgements" on who to shoot and who not to - the comments in this thread indicate that that will not be long..

• The thief didn't learn shit he is dead. 

•  I don't think the "punishment" fit the crime here.  If ANYONE forces their way into your home, I believe there is ample reason to use deadly force.  But to actually kill someone for stealing your jet ski is "overkill".

• Vigilante has been tried - this kid and any one else doing this for anything more than self defense is acting as judge jury and hangman.  Freebyrd -- perhaps you would be happier in Somolia because you certainly don't understand what it is like to live in a society with laws.  I am really sorry that you are frightened so easily.

• You all suck dick

• This is not the wildwest. even the bible (which is probably the most stringent law code ever written) says an eye for an eye... not an eye for a life. Unfortunately the kid wont face enough jail time if any, but I hope his family goes bankrupt fighting this in court. A shotgun blast to the gut would've probably killed the guy anyway, but the kid was clearly aiming for a kill shot.

• If he was such a "Good Kid" why was he attempting to take the jet ski? That isn't a good kid.

• Where in the article does it state that this was just a property crime?  From the article: They said Muñoz "indicated he was armed and planned to harm them".  I get the impressioon that it is still under investigation.  While you may be correct about the points of law, it is still up in the air as to whether or not it was a forcible felony.  Another quote, "Police are now investigating whether the killing was justifiable."  Seems you are jumping to conclusions that are not warranted by a careful reading of the text.

• He'll be in jail when he turns 18.  While I have no sympathy for the guy who got shot, I also have none for the shooter who will go to jail for it. You don't kill people for taking your stuff.

• Good.  One less thieving mexican to worry about later on.

• So, according to your logic, a 12 year old kid stealing a chocolate bar from the corner store should be hanged? Or if they are killed by the operator it is justified? There are crimes that deserve the death penalty, but theft? The value of a life just seems to be decreasing at exponential speed. Where do you stop / draw the line? Where does justice stop and vengeance begin?

• I tell you this... Let's not kid ourselves here. We live in a society now where we have to protect our property and our belongings. I praise this boy for his actions. Son, when you turn 18 and graduate from high school come talk to me and we will get you in the Marines! One shot, one kill!!! Oohrahhhh!!!

• Umm.  I was shooting shotguns at age nine.  It's really easy.  What kind of fucktard are you?

• Florida law CLEARLY STATEs that deadly force is not authorized to defend against property crimes (which this was).  This was NOT a forcible felony.  Hate it all you want, law enforcement is correct in prosecuting the 14 year old.

• Forcible Felonies are people crimes.  Usually meaning that the perpetrator used a weapon or the threat of a weapon.  Simple battery is not a forcible felony.  Therefore you do NOT have a right to use deadly force, as this 14 year old is about to find out the hard way. Those that own guns need to do themselves a favor and take a class on the use of deadly force to avoid this type of situation, or you may find yourself in the same boat as this 14 year old.

• You need to be shot, preferably in the back of the head, and better yet:  in Fla.

• Bullshit!  The boy may be in trouble, incredible. Crime should not pay. The boy did the right thing. I'm irritated the thief put him in that position. Screw anyone that would try and make him feel any worse about it! 

• In case you guys haven't noticed this ":Earl" here is nothing more than a pathetic troll.  Please don't feed him.

• Nice try Domestic Patriot.  But Florida Law clearly states that deadly force can NOT be used to protect property.  Being that the thief was not armed, and was deaf, I seriously doubt you are going to prove you feared for your life, because he did not bring a weapon out to try and take the jet ski via robbery, he was stealing it, meaning he did not threaten anyone in order to get it.    While people hate to lose property and may be satisfied in stopping the crime, the law was broken in preventing the crime.  Hate to say it, but from the sound of it, this 14 year old is guilty of manslaughter in the least.
