From TFA: "Two of the robbers jumped from the car. When one of the robbers pointed a shotgun at him, the Autry kicked it out of his hands.
At that point two of the robbers jumped on the victim. During the struggle he stabbed both of them. One, a teenaged female who has been identified as Amy Martin, died of her wounds. Officials say Martin was pregnant. A second is in critical condition."
So it would appear a male was holding the shotgun, and when it was kicked out of the attacker's hands, "two of the robbers" jumped the victim. I think it's safe to assume the other person of the two was the pregnant girl. When both of them jumped him, he defended himself. Period.
Perhaps I should have said, a shotgun is no less lethal when pointed at you with a pregnant teenage girl standing nearby?
Does it change anything? Does it make her actions or Mr. Autry's actions any more or less justified? If you have a point, make it.

Good. Sounds like that 2 dirts bags our society won't have to support and be victimized by.
I sure hope to never see you showing support for abortion rights.

Just to keep this funny before it goes political.
One of our club members was at his home with wife and new baby. So he is living in one of those super protective of everything modes.
He hears his car alarm go off and see someone trying to break the steering column.
Well our club member just happened to be a New Zealand rugby player. (rugby is think, socker+mosh pit+hockey fight)
There were 2 guys, he was only able to catch one, but that one, wished he had chosen a new carrer path.
When the cops finally got there, (wife called them) He simply told the cops he must have tripped and hit his head, nose hand, arms and knees on the concrete.
The cops took the thief into custody. Probably ended up getting out in a day, but at least he will think twice about stealing a fiero.
I think we average about 10-12 fiero's in the club per year get stolen. Really sucks but only thing you can do is get a good alarm and club.------------------ 85GT 5spd ,93 Eldorado 4.9 Dual O2 Custom Chip, Archie Clutch. Custom Exhaust.

Yeah, put the gun in her hands, why don't you. Interesting how you tried to alter the news story a bit to more justify your position. I'm sure my point isn't lost on anyone who cares to see it.

It's unfortunate that anyone had to die. Much less it being an unborn child. However, Mr. Autry was defending himself. Man or woman, adult or child, he probably feared for his life. Sounds like they would have probably killed him had he not fought back. When they jumped him, Mr. Autry probably had no way of know who he was using his knife on. Much less know that the girl was pregnant. While I mourn the loss of life, I don't question Mr. Autry's actions one bit. Given the same circumstances, most of us would probably do the same thing. ------------------ Whade' "The Duck Formerly Known As Wade" Duck '87 GT Auto '88 Ferrario

Actually MY point was it doesn't matter who's holding the gun, so your suppostion of any ulterior motives on my part is baseless and unfounded.[This message has been edited by Formula88 (edited 05-30-2006).]

It just sounded so much cooler when you made it appear that the shotgun was in her hands, right?

You come from the false premise that this society is "civilized" which, clearly, it is not. Caviat emptor. The woman was trying to mug someone.
