BRADENTON - A man walking out of his apartment to meet a woman was jumped from behind by two assailants early Sunday and stabbed 16 times in the back.
But 27-year-old Jose Blanco somehow managed to fight back, pulling a gun and firing off at least one round, severely wounding one of his assailants, Bradenton police said.

The assailant was flown to Bayfront Medical Center with a gunshot wound to his stomach. Bradenton police withheld his name because he is a minor. His condition was unknown.

Blanco was in fair condition at Manatee Memorial Hospital, and was able to identify the adult who assaulted him about 3:30 a.m. in the parking lot of Green Palms Apartments, 1711 W. Ninth Ave.

Investigators identified the assailant as Osvaldo Vela, 20, and charged him with attempted murder.

He's a minor, so this is another case where a gun was used against a CHILD.
What a crock of sh!t!!! That guy had every intention of killing the guy, sixteen times over!!!

The most foolish mistake we could make would be to allow the subjected people to carry arms; history shows that all conquerers who have allowed their subjected people to carry arms have prepared their own fall.

In Texas, the 20-yr old assailant would NOT be a minor (under 18), nor would he be a juvenile (under 17); thus, he goes to JAIL. While there, he would probably become some guy's new girlfriend.

20 years old? Hey pres Klingon! Another child has been hurt with a gun. Have you looked into the parents eyes and asked “why was he stabbing the shooter in the back”?
