They are kids playing hide and seek. WTF is wrong with you?




The shooter didn't know that.

Many of you missed the point. I said for their safety, kids shouldn't be on other people's property. I didn't say it was OK to shoot them if they are.

Again, all parties involved were in the wrong. The kids for trespassing and the dude for shooting.

I need to go dig up the thread from a few weeks ago where the 80 year old dude shot the black kid that knocked on his door because the tone was 100% different.

Probably as easy as not roaming around a house that you don't have permission to be at.



So you’re in here equating trespassing to attempted murder. What a weird hill to die on.

Where did I do that? Can you read?

Go read the 20 times I said no excuse for shooting the kids.

Why don't you argue what I said instead of creating a false narrative and attributing it to me?

I mean don't randomly shoot people but how hard is it to stay off of property that doesn't belong to you?


Man, you’re a real piece of shite.

age of irresponsibility. Kids will say they aren't at fault, parents will say the kids arent at fault, shooter will say he aint at fault.

They're all at fault.

If we're measuring fault I'll go 99.9 to the guy who sees kids shadows then shoots as they run away and 0.1 to the kids playing hide and seek on a neighbors property.

14 year olds don't play hide and seek. They were up to something. Glad she'll be ok and yes the shooter should go to jail. But I don't buy the Hide and Seek story.

Perhaps but not for speaking the truth here which I have said 20 times now.

All parties are in the wrong. No excuse for the dude to shoot and I hope he goes to jail but the kids shouldn't have trespassed either.

The irony of all this is that the more that these old arse guys who hunker down and shoot with impunity at any random person within the vicinity of their home they make it harder to continue to protect 2nd Amendment rights of the rest of us. They're just feeding the narrative.

But nobody wants to have that personal responsibility conversation.




I made a similarly themed post in another thread where I openly admitted I agreed with the prevailing sentiment but offered the devil’s advocate position because I genuinely wanted to have the discussion as I struggle with arguing against it. At the time it had 3 upvotes with none down, yet no comments in reply. Some things are clearly black and white. Others are not, and I’d genuinely like to talk about how to talk about those while maintaining my non hypocrisy.

That is not equating the two. Just stating facts.

Freshman/8th graders in high school playing hide in seek at early hours in the AM? When did the OT become fricking idiots?

My son had his 14 yr old bday party last week… had a few kids here for a sleepover. They played ‘manhunt’ in the neighborhood.

I had a very direct conversation with them about staying off peoples property.. bc motherfrickers are crazy. They stay inside and watch Fox News all day (or read TD OT) and they’re scared of their own shadow.

In all seriousness, I have some folks in my neighborhood that have been campaigning to our state legislators to expand our Castle Doctrine law to include being allowed to shoot anyone who is considered trespassing. It is fricking terrifying. Despite Stout's "don't go on someone's property" that change to the law would allow someone to shoot me turning around in their fricking driveway. That's nuts.

I appreciate the 2nd Amendment. I regularly carry myself, even more so now that I'm a therapist. But man, I make damn sure I know what I'm doing with a firearm, keep it secured, and stay on top of that.

I mean frick. I get that people are hypervigilant because of break ins and things along those lines but this is getting a bit ridiculous.


They are hypervigilant because they suffer from irrational fears...not because of a slight up tick in crime of any sort. They are skeered...they got the feels. The only answer is for everyone to be armed all the time...its obvious there ain't near enough people with near enough guns in the United States. You can bet if old boy suspected all them kids were packing he'd have thought long and hard about running out and blasting at them....
