Stupid is as stupid does.

Three hoodlums were killed when they broke into a home in Oklahoma last week.  The homeowner's son used an AR-15 to kill all three intruders.  A grandfather of one of the deceased outraged that someone would dare shoot his little hoodlum.  KTUL reported:


A family member of one of the three teen suspects killed after breaking into a Wagoner County home Monday is speaking out for the first time.

The grandfather of Jacob Redfearn believes shooting and killing the 17-year-old and his friends was not needed.

 “What these three boys did was stupid," said Leroy Schumacher.

Schumacher agrees his grandson and his friends made a bad decision, but not one worthy of deadly consequences.
“They knew they could be punished for it but they did not deserve to die," said Schumacher.

Redfearn, 19-year old Maxwell Cook and 16-year old Jake Woodruff were shot by the homeowner’s son while breaking into the Wagoner County house Monday.

Schumacher says his grandson didn't have a chance. The 17-year old, he says, never got into trouble. “Brass knuckles against an AR-15, come on, who was afraid for their life," said Schumacher. (KF: Another perp had a knife.). ...  Rest of article. Audio recording of 911 call is included.

3 on 1 is fair.  A gun against 3 is not fair.  Got it.

KF no grandfather wants to see their grandson get killed at the hands of someone. Even if they "deserved" it. It does not make the grandfather stupid it makes him human.

I suppose papaw would allow 3 criminals break in to his house, let one beat the shit out of him, let the other one stab him while the other stole him blind. If he survived tell them ITS ALL GOOD COME AGAIN ANYTIME.

What a moron. I hate that his grandson is dead but his grandson made the choice to break in to a home and harm , if need be, the owner. The home owner made the choice to defend himself in his own home. The owner now has to live with the choice he made.

I wish more homeowners in Jackson would defend themselves.

Wrongful death lawsuits to follow.

Why in the world would anybody ever NEED an AR-15 (to paraphrase Piers Morgan's questions after Sandy Hoax)? To repel an invasion. To be able to stand a chance when it's 3 on 1. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Bravo for the homeowner's son. I hope and pray he never loses a moment's sleep.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

breaking into occupied dwellings is kind of like CAR RACING AND PARACHUTING, which are considered inherently dangerous sports. such sport have a built in risk.

Never bring a knife (or brass knuckles) to a gunfight.

AR-15s are useful to repel general thuggery (cf., supra), but also to accommodate that whole "well regulated militia" thing.

Maybe in Grandpa's neighborhood, they ask intruders what kind of weapons they have so that a fair fight ensues. In my house, I figure the intruder is there to steal my stuff and harm me and my family. Thus, I think the death penalty appropriate. Grandpa acknowledges the intruders were stupid. But, not surprisingly, he doesn't acknowledge how WRONG it is to break and enter a residence, much less an occupied residence. I'd say the failure to understand or care about that part of it is what cost Mr. Brass knuckles his life. And the gene pool got a little bit better. Let's hope Grandpa can't produce offspring anymore.

Ice Cube said it best, IMO: "Busting caps in the mix, rather be judged by twelve than carried by six!" Let me say, I hate that these teens made the decision to commit a crime that could very well cost them their lives, but THEY MADE THAT DECISION. They could have just as easily made the decision to NOT commit this crime. I don't care if the homeowner or the person rightfully occupying the home had a sling shot! The right was there to defend his home! That doesn't mean I play 20 questions with you when you enter with THREE! This is why I've raised 3 sons, all doing well today, successfully! I warned them about this behavior, you don't steal. Make your money yourself, get what you need and WANT legitimately, and don't let anyone take it away from you, at least not easily when you can defend yourself!

Those young punks no doubt presented a frightening sight to the occupant -dressed all in black with gloves and masks. And they had kicked the back door open. Anyone that bold I would've considered armed. Apparently there was a very brief verbal exchange before the shooting started.

The kids life will be screwed up forever, you will read about him again and it won't be nice.

The guy didn't "need an AR-15" for this. A shotgun or a bolt-action rifle would've done just fine (to say nothing of a handgun).

Who cares what the kid used to defend himself? Frying pan or AR, matters not. They broke into an occupied dwelling. I regret the loss of life, but as they say, play stupid games and win stupid prizes. Any hand wringing about how the victim defended himself, and those distinctions are very important (victim and defense) is absurd. Those three young men would still be stealing oxygen had they simply not chosen to commit this particular crime.

9:12, they had been there earlier, and came back. of course the family would be on alert? what were they after so bad?

That's one... no... THREE for the good guys!

7:58 nailed it. It's not about who deserves what. You break into a house you can get shot.

I'm going to guess that the grandfather would think that three black guys who gets gunned down would be fine, but his white grandson was murdered.

Personally, I'm glad those three thugs are dead. They got what the deserved.

Well, if the grandfather was the primary child-rearer, he did a lousy job. I'm sure he's heartbroken, but the boy made a decision. And, I would add, there's no need for quotation marks in your second sentence. The kid definitely deserved it. The planet is rid of three sociopaths and is consequently a better place.

to 6:41 am .....dont panic mr legal expert. wrongful death suits don't always " follow" icing a thug. don't be a hysterical fool . that retied doctor in east over who took out that thug carjacker a couple of years ago was never sued. that mcdowell road self defense shooting wrongful death suit is nothing but a publicity stunt by that clown carlos tanner. people use the legal system for publicity all the time. its nothing new.

Damn, 3:19 who pissed in your Cherrios this morning? I'm well aware of how people waste the legal system's time. It was a simple statement of what could be expected.

No need to be an condescending ass about it.

As I see it, "Grandad" did a shitty job, raising the piece of shit who contributed half the DNA for making the CRIMINAL who got killed. It's "family values" like "Grandad's", which caused the problem, in the first place.

I am VERY GLAD those three are dead. They DID "deserve to die". Their continued existence would have made the world a worse place. Their deaths made the world a BETTER place. MORE people like that need to die, preferably, before they can make SUBHUMAN babies with little whores like the driver of the Getaway Car (she's already whelped-out a couple of litters, apparently).

“There’s got to be a limit to that law, I mean he shot all three of them; there was no need for that," said Schumacher.

Which ones should he have shot?

Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe?

Anonymous said...

why would someone break into a home with brass knuckles if NOT to harm someone? of course the police deemed it justified shooting! what DA is going to prosecute this case?

grandpa's little angel would have robbed you blind, but never killed anyone. hey--didn't we hear that from some baby mama around jackson?

trash is trash, no matter the color of the outside..

"need an Ar-15"......

"Need" has nothing to do with what kind of weapon I choose. It's "what I want" that makes the decision..

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
