Heh, the kid was lucky he didn't get in trouble, chasing him down the street like that. I kinda wondered about it when the story said he hit the robber in the chest with the sword and then the robber ran away, but looking at the official story, it looks like it was a lunge as opposed to a strike.

Is PS3 really worth that? Attacking anyone with a sword sounds pretty drastic to me, especially when they can turn around and point a gun at your head.

I think that if someone was in my house, with my younger cousin, doing something that demonstrates their muddled view of right and wrong like stealing stuff, I would go on the offensive, too.

| i say good for him. it must be pretty scary for kid to be at home alone and be able to find the courage to defend his posessions. the kid didnt know if the guy had a weapon on him or anything. very brave. im happy he didnt end up getting hurt. |

From the video in the news article lordtariel posted, the teenager looks in his late teens. IMO someone that age ought to know better than to risk his life over a games console, he can always get another (maybe his parents' home-insurance covers it) but he can't ever have another life. From the reports I am I right in assuming the burglar was leaving when the boy attacked him? In that case I would have avoided the conflict. I thought that was one of the 1st aspects of self defense people learn, to avoid a conflict.

I can see your point, but some people can be very prideful when it comes to things like that. I can go either way. He was able to get the jump on them, which gave him a slight advantage. Now, if the robber had pulled a gun, pointed it, and said "back off," perhaps he would have reacted differently. In the end, it all worked out, though.

Where he took it too far was where he actually chased the guy down the street with the sword. If he'd have actually hit him outside the home, he'd be sitting in prison right now instead of playing his beloved ps3.
