Being a tough guy in my opinion, is nothing more than getting you ass kicked and not whinning about it. Thinking you can handle a bunch of thugs threatening to kill a family member but, described as teens "running their mouth" is thinking "your" a tough guy. I have seen the results of this "Tombstone Courage" of folks like you, when you THINK, their just loud mouthed teenagers.
As far as the better to be tried by twelve, than carried by six? With the concept, I agree, given good judgement in the situation. However, the fact of the jury convicting him gives me no confidence in JUSTICE being carried out. The man says he feared for his family, and was obviously not as tough as you. I'm SURE you could have handled them better.
Prosecutors with egos wanting High conviction rates, and LIBERAL gun hating juries are scary to say the least, especially in such a liberal area as this incident occurred. It didn't happen where YOU live EITHER. I think your "inexperience" disqualifies you of making any rational judgement of his situation.
JUSTICE? Tell that to the inmates released after DNA results PROVED beyond a shadow of a doubt they were innocent, even when there were so called EYE WITNESSES. Maybe the jury saw thru it, and MAYBE they were fooled by an arrogant, over-zealous prosecutor whom hates guns, and wants to make an example.
Trail lawyers get wealthy suing folks by fooling, or using liberal juries.
Like I said. Arm chair quarterbacking a man, protecting his family.
