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? |

Not to mention, unless I could see that they were TPing the car, in which case, I'd just run them off, how do I know that they aren't thugs looking to steal my wallet from my car? Look, I think it sucks. But, it is what it is. Don't go ****ing with other peoples shit. period. |

You can fire into a crowd of people for being on your property, kill somebody and claim you were frightened. That's still going to net you serious jail time in MO most of the time. If it's worth that to you, great. If they're in your home, then it's entirely different and the law is on your side. I can't empathize with this dude. He killed a teenager and there was no mention of breaking and entering or assault of any kind. If it comes out otherwise, I might change my stance. But from the limited information available to me, I see a guy that caught teens ****ing with his car and stepped out of his home to fire into a crowd, and killed one of them. **** him. |

This. Plain and simple. When I was a young knucklehead I didn't think that there was a good possibility that my target would have a gun and be willing to use it; things are so much different now. Actions have consequences for both sides here - the kids and the homeowner. Lives affected forever and over something as trivial as this.

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.

Inside your house, threatening you and your family? Fire away. Egging your car? Call the cops and file an insurance claim. |

The laws vary by state. Texas give more leeway to shoot over property than Arkansas, for example. Quote:

While there is a time and place to protect yourself with deadly force, this was not the case. A simple 911 call and a couple minutes later cops would be all over this. Let the professionals handle this type of shit, and keep yourself from going to jail. |

point taken, but here's the thing--you gotta exhaust every opportunity to allow the police to enforce the law before you start shooting things up. Now, I live in a town where the cops are about 5 minutes away and they would be in my driveway in a flash. But most people live in cities where it will take the cops 15 minutes or so to show up. Either way, the guy should have at least dialed 911 before he went all blast-o-rama and ended up killing a teenybopper.

So you're saying calling the police is not the right thing to do? Instead you'd rather do what this guy did and spend a stretch in prison getting your shithole gaped open? I don't live in your world...
