Any 18 year old who pulls a gun out to rob someone has a rap sheet already or is heading to having one. Now it won’t be a problem.

No, obviously. I'm just saying that I find the element of what they had in their possession to be robbed an interesting part of the equation. I'm not suggesting that they should not have acted in self defense or am I suggesting that the legal ramifications are not a bigger part of the story.
It's not that complex. No heroes. One guy dead, another guy will carry the knowledge that he shot someone to death, to his grave.
All for ownership of an outmoded video game. You think "unlicensed, unregistered" is a crime when one guy does it, but you're not interested in whether your hero violated the same law. Painfully stupid.
The Idea or fact that they were football players should have never been brought up. They were two kids that did EVERYTHING within their rights. Only thing that therevguilty of was using bad judgement of where to meet the seller.
You are right. The robber pulled a gun first. The players shouldn’t have done nothing. Get robbed or worst.
That's the very thing we dont know....whether they did everything within their rights. If he was following local carry laws, fine, but we dont know that. You assume he was, and call them victims.
Wow. They declared it self defense. He could still face a charge for the weapon or for the game itself. And sorry, I would like to see the police investigation, not read what some cheerleader reporter says.
No doubt, and maybe I'm just cynical. I am just curious what they had in their possession, not that they defended themselves. Just one of my initial thought when I read the story.
The police said NO CHARGES would be filed. Sorry your buddy the robber got led in his ass. Keep rooting and playing the victim card on those who commit crimes and acting like those who use self dense with in their rights are the real criminal pussy.
NJ gun laws protect the criminal or the aggressor in almost any self defense situation where gun shots are fired. Both LSU kids would be in serious trouble here, hopefully in Louisiana they have a chance of getting off.
They will Louisiana has the “Stand your ground law”.
They did everything within their rights. They even made the 911 call and waited for the police.

"LSU players called police, waited at the scene, were questioned and were released while the investigation continues."
The police said they acted in self denense and no charges would be filed.
Sorry your criminal buddy.
So, self defense is now a defense to a lack of registration/license, or will they look at the other charges, including ownership of the game, as this continues?
You can be innocent of the shooting, and get a pass for other illegal conduct because you are a fb player. You ought to know better than to read NEWS reports as truth.
Still in meltdown this morning I see. My post had nothing to do with the victims.
Omg Demlion give up. They aren’t getting charged. You really can’t be this stupid, right?? The robber pulled a gun on them, that gave them right to stand their ground.
They have been cleared. They did nothing wrong outside of meeting in a unsafe place.
What would have been the appropriate way to handle the situation, in your opinion? Just take the robbery like a man?
There LSU players. Take what he says with a grain of salt. If this was two non athlete small school kids who did this it wouldn’t be discussed on here.
He don’t understand self defense means they acted that their lives were in danger and cleared of ALL wrong doings. Even if you aren’t allowed to carry, you shot in self defense after a gun is pulled on you. I doubt anybody is going to charge you.
NCAA or school could suspended them for selling on the electronic. But by all accounts they also need nothing illegal there either.
I never said it was not self defense. Brandishing a gun in close quarters seems to be the basic self-defense situation. But self defense only excuses the shooting, not any and all criminal conduct you did that day. Was the device theirs, or stolen? Was the gun legal under the local law?
Those considerations have nothing to do with the self defense claim. Perhaps there is nothing there, or perhaps there is something and we are not hearing it. Anyone who takes the media's rendition without question is making a mistake, most likely.
You are arguing with the wrong person. I have no issues with what they did.
That said... displayed and pulled are different.
Displayed means pointing to a gun. Like... give it to me i have a gun and showing it.
Pulling means taking from holster.
You cant just randomly change the two as people have in this post.
Displaying a gun does not warrant being shot even in stand your ground.
Now perhaps the first article was wrong. Not sure. But again pls dont change things to suit.

They were selling a used PS3/4 on Craigslist.
They are criminally cleared. You really aren’t smart.
Someone pulls a gun out during a robbery. You shoot. Kids did right.
Nate,
Here is the quote from the articles I've read. They are all the same so I assume they come from the same source.
"After Johnson displayed a weapon, one of the players pulled out a handgun and fired multiple times, police said."
Now, please show us where you read that the robber had a gun?

Your right when your life is in danger. You shouldn’t use self defense. Moron
I see your smother criminal loving loser who feel people shouldn’t have the right to defend themselves when their lives are in danger. Case in point is here. Someone pulls a gun on you. You get a chance. You shoot them.
Oh, come on...what was the "electronic item" the kid was selling, where did he get it, and why was he packing heat??
