Actually homeless man tries to attack soccer players and their families with broken bottle as they try to escape in horror...

Another misleading headline...

quote:

Kids and parents said the man was charging at them with a stick in one hand and a broken bottle in the other. Two soccer players told CBS’s Stacey Butler that they were terrified when the man seemed to be charging at them.


quote:

“I felt like he was after me. He was running towards us when we were jumping the fence,” another player said. “But we jumped over the fence before he got near us.”“Our team like we were all toward the fence grabbing each other. All of a sudden, we just hear the guy holding a bottle. Our coach screams at us to jump over the fence. He tried to climb the bleachers. But we just heard three gunshots, and he got shot,” Miguel Carias recalled.

Wtf? This is like writing a story on a dad shooting a dude raping his daughter and the headline being, "Scared teen watches in horror as white father kills black teen."

Cops kill scary, crazed hobo with glass bottle at soccer practice

Would have made for a much more attention-grabbing headline.

Keep on ignoring the treatment (or non-treatment) of mental illness.

So you got this out of the OP's post pointing out how misleading the headline of the story was???

That pretty solid liberal thinking right there...

It's kinda sad one of the dads (or mom's I guess) didn't pull out their concealed carry and put him down themselves.

A child could have been hurt or killed by this lunatic while they wait on the cops to arrive.

Based on the title, I was thinking the police was chasing a man and when he got to a soccer field, where a bunch of people were practicing, the police decided to unload on him in front of everyone.

I guess that title is better clickbait than "Mentally ill man, who attempted to harm kids by chasing them with broken bottle, fatally shot by police"

That's because being frozen with terror happens, and why it takes a high level of training to overcome that.

And that's why getting a pistol is only step one of being ready to defend yourself and your loved ones.

There is adequate treatment for those who want it.
