Just stop please. There is no defense for what this moron did and he’s likely a lunatic suffering from paranoia. You give reasonable gun owners a very bad name when you attempt to align idiots like this with rational behavior.

Well, you also can't chase someone down the street and shoot them in the back for ringing your doorbell and running away.
Its Texas. Im kinda surprised charges have been brought. In Texas you can use deadly force to protect your personal property at night.
When I lived in Houston thirty years ago, a drunk, Scottish man was shot and killed for knocking on a door and asking for help. Some girls were apparently driving him back to his hotel, but got mad at him and kicked him out of the car in a really nice neighborhood. He was drunk, and lost, and started knocking on doors until someone shot him.
No charges ever brought. Granted, he wasnt running away, but still..
Then there's the guy who shot and killed a repo man because he thought the man was stealing his car. No charges.

So the narrative here is that one must TAKE a first punch before being able to preemptively act or hit back to an impending threat?
If one is armed, then one’s attacker is armed if they can deliver said first blow and confiscate the victim’s weapon.
Regardless, this will shut down that ‘game’ down, which is likely a form of probative strategy to determine weakness in a potential crime target. Either that or persecution of a disrespected and/or hated individual.
Vigilantism is the natural order of things when the Law no longer protects those who simply live in their home with no aggression. Of coy a Trump sign can be considered aggressive in today’s world.

Correct, random acts of violence are only considered political on the PB if committed by the blacks.

Charges have been filed in connection with the deadly shooting of an 11-year-old boy who was playing ding-dong ditch at a family birthday party, according to court records.
Will be interesting to see if this was actually ding dong ditch or the viral kick the front door in challenge.

No. The narrative is don’t shoot a little kid who just dingdong ditched and was running away. You could probably extrapolate that narrative to TP’ing and egging someone’s house

This has really triggered you.
Where is this same level of outrage for the young man’s parents for allowing their son to run wild at night? They bear some fault here, too.

I wonder what the murder stats for “little kids” are? IMO - and likely backed up by honest stats - psychotic pre-teens/teens - are likely the most apt to go rogue.
People cannot hide the truth. It’s “the emperor has no clothes “ scenario. Gangs attempting entrance to an individual’s home, especially in areas where gang activity is an existential danger WILL be met with force, sooner or later. The parents of these muh “little kids” are guilty in this instance. They knew. We all do.

I get what you're saying, but this is bad:
quote:
The boy and a group of kids had been ringing doorbells when they knocked on one home. Witnesses told police that someone came outside and opened fire as the children ran away.
“A witness says someone ran out of that house and was shooting at the kids running down the street, and unfortunately, sadly enough, one of the boys, who was 11 years old, was shot in the back,”
I guess more will come to light during his trial, but if all the kids did was knock on his door, then the homeowner's in trouble.

Great point, RS. I was thinking of my own rowdy childhood as I typed my seemingly unmerciful response.
“But by the grace of God there go I”.

Dude should be arrested... As an avid gun owner, you need to make conscious choices on when it is the right time to use them. Killing a kid just because he rang your doorbell then ran is murder.

I was guilty of many things as a yute. Knocking doors, destroying mailboxes, landscaping yards, rolling trees....
I didnt get hurt over it, but I probably deserved to get my arse kicked at the time.

That guy is going to jail for the duration of, LS. As he should. Albeit the sacrifices of both will help delineate the whole situation gangs roaming at night and probing/harassing individuals. Especially the rednecks who are apt to go off. They knew this guy. They FAFO. It’s their parents and communities fault.

What kind of psycho shoots a kid in the back for ringing his doorbell?

We agree here. The kid shouldn't have been out at 11 pm unsupervised.

None of that has ANYTHING to do with this case.
