If any of my sons did this, I would be very upset about losing my son. But I would understand why he was shot and not pursue anything against the shooter

The lawyers should be disbarred for bringing these suits

According to the story, the kids fired first. That takes away any doubt in my mind what they had on their mind to do. Either way, anyone trying to kick in my door at 4 AM will be greeted with lead, and lots of it.
Someone kicks your door in, you have every right to assume that they mean you harm, and you have the law on your side if you choose to deescalate the situation with extreme prejudice.

Criminal standard of conduct =/= civil standard.
It's bullshite, but that doesn't mean that it won't proceed in a civil court.

See this is different than someone pulling up to the wrong driveway and you shooting them as they drive away.
Or stabbing a kid at a track meet because you were in the wrong tent area.

Homeowner should definitely counter-sue the parents

The video in that link feels dubious.

TN has a law that gives civil immunity to anyone in a justified self-defense scenario. Should be a federal law.

You shouldn’t be able to sue for damages when you are injured or killed in the commission of a crime.
Especially an armed home invasion or other violent crime.

How does one find any lawyer willing to take that case? Are they just hoping for an insurance settlement as a quick cash grab? Or is pro-bono work or something?

Didn't click the link but feel it's fairly safe to assume "Is it them again Yogi"?
And the answer is "It's them again Boo Boo".

If I'm on the jury I order the parents to pay damages.

He is going to have to pay money for a damn lawyer to defend him in this bullshite suit. Beyond ridiculous. I would definitely file a counter suit to recoup legal fees and “emotional damage”.

Im prety sure the law says you cant murder a minor. Should have called there parents first and let them give them a good talking to and straten them out!

This happened in 2019. IDK why it's being posted now except for rage bait.
