:They abandoned their child.  A pre-teen stuck at home while his parents were overseas for an extended period of time, and there was no indication that the state even waged an investigation into the incident.  That's a clear case of neglect by the parents, and a clear instance of ineffective police work.

:Your self-defense claim falls for a couple reasons.  First, to get technical, the 2nd Amendment says nothing about self-defense, it instead provides a cryptic message concerning militias.  Second, it was the old guy that hit the folk with a shovel, and he was in no immediate harm by the victims.  Self-defense does not apply.  --[[User:LiteratiChamp|LiteratiChamp]] 19:16, 20 July 2007 (EDT)
