The 12-year-old boy had finished his homework and was playing a video game when he heard his mother cry out. Rushing to her aid, he found her on the kitchen floor, straddled by a fellow resident of their Prince George's County boarding house, the man's hands wrapped tightly around her neck, the boy said yesterday.
"I kept saying, 'Stop! Stop! Stop!' " the boy said, describing the events of Monday night. "But he just ignored me. He didn't stop. He just kept hurting her."
The boy said he grabbed a knife and swung, slashing 64-year-old Salomon Noubissie across the neck and opening an artery. Noubissie was fatally wounded.
The mother, Cheryl Stamp, said she did not immediately understand what had happened. "What did you do?" she said she asked her son.
"He didn't say anything," she said. "But I knew when I looked in his eyes. I said, 'Oh, Lord.' "

Noubissie was alive when police arrived, Stamp said. He was combative with the officers, she said, even as he bled heavily.
Law enforcement officials were reviewing evidence yesterday and had not decided whether to file charges. Their preliminary account of the incident broadly matches that of the boy and his mother. They haven't decided -- this case is a real mystery with all the twists and turns.

The 12-year-old boy said yesterday that he was not happy about what he had done but that he knew that it was the right thing.
Well -- enjoy your ability to think clearly now, kid, because the media is going to turn your brain to mush.
The case presents exceedingly unusual circumstances: Rarely is a 12-year-old implicated in a homicide, and even less often does a child that age take a life to protect his mother. "Take a life?" Is that what you jourrrrrnalists call it when one fends off an attacker and he dies -- TAKING his life? That kid didn't TAKE shit. The jackass insisted on forfeiting his life. It's this kind of word-twisting that the media so often use to misrepresent an issue. They do it constantly and consistently.
"In Maryland, there can be a legitimate defense of third parties in the event of a violent attack," State's Attorney Glenn F. Ivey said. "That is a possibility in this case." More here:
Yes -- there CAN be a legitimate defense -- not saying for SURE -- but there can be -- you know -- after the people with mush for brains get it all sorted out. It's a "possibility" in this case -- not saying for sure -- we can never say anything for sure -- cuz the media has everyone convinced that there is no such thing as truth -- nothing is at it appears to be -- and jackasses with press passes don't deserve to be slapped across the chops at every opportunity -- baaaa - bleat.
