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.

Lol

terroristic act?

Yeah but if someone is "attacking" your car, you would think one would at least try to get a look or feel for what was going on before they started spraying rounds.

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

There has to be more to this story.

I am thinking the same thing. Possibly things got thrown at the homeowner when he stepped outside? If so that changes this dramatically.

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!

Absolutely that would change things.

Yeah but toilet paper and eggs may have been thrown at him. EGGS!

Yes, we can legally murder Halloween pranksters, which is why the article says he was arrested and charged with first degree murder. :rolleyes:

She evidently posts on Chiefsplanet.

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.

:LOL:

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?

Yeah, who the ****, outside an AppalachiaBilly, talks like that. Oops! I forgot. She's an Arkie.

:facepalm:


Just throw this in DC already. It's obvious that some posters can't help themselves.

If he was white, I doubt he'd have been charged

Looks Irish to me.........
 

Yeah. Which is why he was charged

Slow down there, hoss! Beiber did $20,000 dollars of damage to a house with just eggs.

List of my arsenal post.

Not that it matters, but the teen girl that was shot was also black.

I'm mostly just trolling. Bringing race into a guns thread is about as entertaining as it gets.

What exactly could have been thrown at him to justify killing someone in retaliation? I'm assuming they weren't packing grenades.

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

We're talking 'bout Arkie dude. It's LEARN them a lesson.........

Tragic

"they was trying..."
all I needed to hear

Wow, that is messed up. Tragic.

Are you doing a bit here?

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

Killing one warns the others.

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?

Eh, people have a right to defend their property with deadly force.

Ban the guns!!!

Don't think it had to do with her being from Arkansas.

Well they are wearing masks, maybe even a hoodie. No reason to not open fire

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.

another zimmerman

...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.

Yep mayonnaise on a car requires deadly force. No question.

I'm assuming, dark, and he couldn't tell what they had done or were doing. Just that they were f'n around with his car.

Kids just trying to work in some exercise

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.

He'd be charged if he were white. He'd just be found innocent by a jury.

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.

Middle of the night, you hear people outside your home messing with your car, step outside and start having objects thrown your way, again, in the dark. That's seems like a pretty good excuse to start shooting.

Is this the part of the story you've modified to your liking to make it more plausible to shoot somebody for being on your property?

Yikes.

If this guy had a goatee rather than a beard, this is how I would picture about 75% of the posters on CP. Oh, and Rush, Led Zeppelin or Lynard Skynard is playing in the background....

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.

Yeah, and you might get arrested and charged with murder.

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".

Obviously another white cracker devil!!!

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.

I say no on the car. I also disagree that he should be charged with 1st degree murder. Man is all I would charge him with.

well, you can always call the cops too! There's no way I'd go outside with a loaded gun and just start firing shots, that is absolutely the worst possible thing to do because you NEVER know who is out there. Maybe you end up shooting your neighbor who heard the noises and was coming over to help.

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.

I don't know the specfics of that but be sure one day if you run a-foul on a protected class you'll get charged with murder, a hate crime, and a terrorist act. It's getting stupid.

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

and I never, ever point my gun at my own junk.

We'll if you would read this thread from the beginning I agreed with someone there was more to the story and gave that as a possible reason for the shooting. But please pick and choose to suit yourself.
