They aren’t playing “ding dong ditch”. They are kicking people’s doors in.
Where did you read this? That hasn’t been reported.

The boy, identified by police as Julian Guzman, was attending a family gathering about a block away in the east Houston neighborhood, and after getting bored, decided to go with his 10-year-old cousin and play ding-dong ditch, in which pranksters ring the doorbell or knock on the door of a home and then run away. Police said the two cousins had knocked three times on the suspect's door within a span of about 15 minutes.

It’s been a viral “challenge” for months.
I’d put the odds at 80/20 that it’s being reported as “ding dong ditch” and is really “kick the door.”

Oh this is so sad. I thought Mickey was gone for good. No such luck I guess. I thought he had finally been put in a home and we wouldn't be subjected to his sundowning rants.

quote:No. Where did you get that from? The narrative, if there is one, should be that one should have an imminent fear of death, bodily injury, theft, or destruction of property- or threat of the same to others, before using deadly force.
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?
The kids had already done it twice that night and ran away. He knew this as he was allegedly outside, observing them from his side yard. Granted, that's super fricking annoying, and parents share the blame, but it would be clear to most reasonable people by the third time that it was just idiot kids doing dumb shite, as burglars don't typically ring the doorbell multiple times before breaking in.
And let's not forget this guy fired multiple times down the street in the middle of a neighborhood. I'm very pro-2A but this isn't the guy any gun owner should waste his time defending.

I think if those parents had been doing their job of parenting, their kid would be alive. They are an accessory in their childs death.

No. But if you’re trying to kick the door in and you’re 10 years old, you might be unsuccessful. Maybe you go back and try again.

You put the odds at "80/20" based on this door kicking thing being ongoing for months that that's what they were doing, but kids having been knocking on doors and running away for decades, if not longer.
At a minimum, I don't think a jury will be convinced by your argument.

Fan fiction doesn’t really hold up in court.
It literally says in the article that they knocked several times and he was waiting outside for them again.
The guy murdered a kid.

Yeah. That’s what it says. Media has never made an error like that on a story like this.
Regardless of whether they were kicking in the door or ringing the doorbell, he’s got a serious problem waiting for him in court if they were running away.

That’s not what the story says at all.

quote:Rang vs knock?Sorry. I've read other articles and seen other sources that have claimed they rang the doorbell. I can find them and link if needed. Is your point that maybe the knocks were actually kicks? That's possible, but he allegedly observed them doing it the third time and he hasn't claimed that anywhere I've seen.

Who hasn’t claimed what?
The story is almost certainly coming 100% from the surviving kid. The shooter has been told by his public defender to shut the frick up.

I dont think you can see it any other way.

And to what ends? I'm genuinely confused.

This article quotes an HPD officer saying they were kicking and banging on doors.
quote:LINK
The victim and at least two of his friends had been going around their neighborhood banging on or kicking doors and running away, Cass said. Cass said the preliminary information indicates that the victims and his friends ran down the street after banging on the suspect's door.

It’s an Internet forum. I made some posts. And I don’t really disagree with the bigger picture. Even if they were kicking his door, it’s not going to be enough of a mitigating factor for him to skate shooting a kid running away.
You are welcome to believe that these kids were filming themselves knocking on a door. I’m skeptical.
