His 13yo brother Devin Coulter was arrested a couple weeks ago for armed robberies in the CBD.

I don't believe LA law allows you can shoot someone in defense of property. There was no threat to his or his family's personal safety until he went outside. Your friend fricked up and may end up in jail because he made a rash decision.
Similar to the Zimmerman case, he was doing something perfectly legal although perhaps ill-advised. He has the right to go outside and investigate. Whether there was a reasonable threat - you don't know that, no one does. So he wasn't really shooting in defense of his property, that's more ancillary although it probably helps somewhat as opposed to be a Zimmerman on the street or sidewalk.
All IMO, subject to error.

Did the oldest 14 year old in history have a weapon?
Negative.

his older brother even called him a "professional thief". Landry's defense for shooting him is weak, but in the end its another POS off the street.

What was the racial makeup of the Grand Jury that was just dismissed?
It's Orleans Parish, take a wild fricking guess.

Yes. LA's Stand-Your-Ground statue states that civil cases can't be brought against those defending themselves under that law. Therefore, they would have to prove that he wasn't operating under STG. If they can't prove he was operating outside of the law, they can't bring the case to begin with.
Then cite it.
Don't pull the schoolyard "I don't have to"
It wasn't that tough a question. Back your shite up.
By the way, I'm on Merritt's side

Just last week in old Metairie a guy heard someone outside his house late at night. He went outside to see what was going on and a thug POS shot him 3 times.
The area where this Landry house is located had been having some armed robberies and shite happening during that time.
I'm standing by the gun owner who was on his own property doing what he thought was in the best interest for the safety of his family.

While Coulter has no defense for trespassing at 1:40 AM and was in the process of committing a felony.

you still need a certain justification to use deadly force, even if all of this is true (and it clearly is). that's why it's weak

not sure trespassing warrants one to the head.
and to say he saw him reach for something is weak, when no gun was found. People aren't stupid.

There is just no way I don't shoot someone if I am lucky enough to be awakened by them entering my property before they get into my house.
I live in Texas, though, so I would probably be given the key to the city for my services.

I'm with you. What else should the guy have done?

Let's see...it was dark, and he saw the kid reach for something at his waist while in the process of committing a felony. Black teenagers are offing each other (and others) every day practically, what is so inconceivable about him thinking this kid was reaching for a gun?
Posted on 2/27/14 at 9:22 pm to LSU CRAZY
The kid who got shot was on his way to being a career criminal, just like a good portion of his extended family. He was undoubtedly up to no good. I think it was something like 1:30a.m. when it happened.
The planet likely won't miss this kid's future contributions to society, but I still think Landry fricked up.

my point is he didnt see him reach for anything. It's the oldest trick in the book to justify something like that.
It was dark enough to where he couldn't see, but he somehow ended the ordeal with a single shot to the head
Chances are he didn't even announce himself. I doubt the kid even saw him.

Good. His wife was pregnant at the time right? Or they just had a baby?
Mine is pregnant now and I find myself inspecting the street when I notice headlights that linger in our windows longer than normal. "Stalking" your own property isn't a crime. And it apparently is worth it every now and then.
