Arkansas Prank Went Wrong
CNN) -- A 15-year-old girl in Little Rock, Arkansas, is dead, police say, because of a prank that went horribly and tragically wrong.
Adrian Broadway was shot in the head and died early Saturday morning. She was with a group of teenagers who had gone to a house to do a "retaliation" prank on another teen who'd done a prank on them on Halloween, according to the Little Rock Police Department. The teenagers told police they had thrown toilet paper, eggs and mayonnaise on a car parked there. As they were leaving, a man came out of the house and opened fire. Broadway was struck in the head and died. Another teenager, the driver, suffered injuries to his right arm. He was transported to a hospital, where he was treated and released. Police have identified the shooting suspect as 48-year-old Willie Noble. He was charged with one count of first-degree murder, one count of a terroristic act and five counts of aggravated assault, they said. Bond was set at $1 million. "I got the news from my mom who said that Adrian had got a gun wound to the head, and I just dropped the phone immediately and started crying," Broadway's friend, Laguyia Bland, told CNN affiliate KARK. "They was trying to be teenagers," Bland said. "As you know teenagers make mistakes, and this was one of those mistakes." |
Wow...
|
Seems reasonable response..
|
Everyone loses here.
A man has a right to defend his car/home and when he's woken up in the middle of the night and doesn't know what's going on... ...on the same note I could have been killed 100x for doing just this. |
|
terroristic act?

Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Guns do make it easier, though.

There has to be more to this story.

I'm all for the right to own guns. I own 2 handguns myself. But I also believe that if a gun owner takes out his gun and fires it when it is NOT a case of self-defense, he needs to be held accountable.
I'd throw the book at this guy. He was defending HIS CAR. That doesn't justify the use of deadly force. Plus, they were LEAVING the scene when he came out and opened fire. |
So now we can potentially legally murder Halloween pranksters? Schweet! Once step closer to legalizing murder!

Jeez...I can't count how many times I did this in high school, and had it done to me. What the hell...dude must have been unstable to come out shooting. Or as was previously stated, there's more to this story.
Sucky reason to die. |

I shouldn't laugh at any of this, but that was funny. |
So I guess the guy's kid won the prank war. Thanks dad!

Arkansas? OK, which Planeteer is now in jail for exercising his constitutional right to bear arms, defending his property and standing his ground?

I would definitely shoot a 15 year old if they put food on my car. It'll teach them a lesson.

There's a lot of different ways Clint Eastwood could have handled this and it is unfortunate he chose the worse one. Kids are kids and do stupid stuff.

I guess warning shots aren't big in Arkansas?
|
With the first degree murder charge it sounds like we are missing some details. Just speculating but, perhaps some threats beforehand in person or in the form of phone, maybe face book, where the shooter had the chance to have a premeditated response to something. A threat of “I’m going to blow up your car and burn down your house while you are asleep” could predispose someone to shoot first and ask questions later. The shooter might just be a notecase. There are people that will try to kill you for walking on their lawn

They probably added the "terrorist act" charge to make sure he does some real time.

Probably thought she was a Satanist.

What happened to the days of just putting rocksalt in a shotgun and blistering a few asses?

Keep in mind this happened in Little Rock, Arkansas. I don't know where it ranks currently but it wasn't very long ago that Little Rock had the highest murder to population ratio in the nation.
Although we may know their actions after the fact we don't know if this person did or not. Evidently there was a group, gang, of them. This girl may not have had a gun but that is generally not the case when dealing with a group of teens. |

...which leads me to my next point, leave peoples cars alone. Messing with someones car can be messing with their livelihood, which can lead to a pretty angry response.

If they had used Miracle Whip instead of Mayo, young Adrian might still be with us.

It's just too bad Bieber didn't decide to egg houses in Little Rock, Arkansas.

this ^^^^

What else was the guy supposed to do?
You have to shoot until you aren't scared anymore if strange folks are on your property. |

They need to send the home owner to the Country Club Plaza in KC. For every troubled yute he takes care of, a year gets knocked off his sentence.

To be fair, I shave my chest before I take those sort of photos.

I think it's tragic. However, if I were at home, it was late at night, and several people were roaming my property and messing with my truck, I'd probably shoot at them as well. It's not like people don't know that this can't happen.
People, DON'T GO ****ING AROUND WITH OTHER PEOPLES SHIT, PARTICULARLY ON THEIR PROPERTY. YOU MIGHT GET SHOT! |

I have a lot more guns and go full nude. Close, though. |

Some teens are willing to toilet paper cars and houses and risk their lives I suppose. Are you willing to risk your life and freedom to teach them a lesson? |
While the dumbshit kid obviously didn't deserve to die for his stupidity, I do take exception to the author of the story referring to vandalism of someone's property as a "prank", or the kid's friend referring to it as a "mistake".

Here in Texas you have the right to protect personal property with your weapons. Guy in Houston killed some dudes who were stealing from his neighbors and he didn't go to jail.

Maybe rubber bullets would help the scared with the safety off.

I'm eating eggs right now so this really hits home for me.

Point being, there is no justification for this shooting. The man who shot the gun was not in danger himself. Sure, his car was getting messed up and that sucks, but it's not worth taking someone else's life. |

Unless they've changed the law in Arkansas since 2010, the shooter would seem to be in deep kimchi. |

If the car was in front of the garage, front door or on the street makes a bit of difference.
