outrageous ain't a big enough word to describe this failure to protect and serve;

A 65-year-old man who gunned down an armed thug in self-defense has been inexplicably charged by radical prosecutors.

Charles Foehner was threatened and backed into a corner by a disturbed 32-year-old man named Cody Gonzalez who intended to rob. He had no choice but to shoot the crazed young man after he lunged at him with a weapon.

Police authorities said the incident occurred in a driveway on 82nd Avenue in Kew Gardens at around 2 a.m. Wednesday.

Eyewitness News reviewed surveillance video showing a clear-cut case of self-defense on Foehner’s part. The tape first shows Gonzalez confronting the Foehner from roughly 40 feet away and reportedly demanding cash and cigarettes.

Foehner waves off Gonzalez in an apparent effort to warn him but the robber ignores Foehner and continues to saunter toward him. This causes the old man to draw his gun from 20 feet away according to Eyewitness News.
