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".

Yeah, it's pretty clearly vandalism.

Maybe the kids didn't think of it that way, but it is. And if somebody keys your car in the parking lot or decides to bust your window out and rummage through your stuff; those are most definitely issues your insurance company will handle for you.

I assume most of you all have homeowner's and/or auto insurance. Pay your deductible, file a police report and move on with your life. Or you could step out and start shooting and see where that gets you.

I wasn't advocating coming out with guns blazing by any means, but I also shouldn't have to happily shell out $1000 for a deductible because some shithead kids were never taught to respect others' property.

No, it isn't fair that somebody is destroying your personal property. Just like it isn't fair that some idiot can hit you in their car and then drive away from the scene.

But there are still options available to you outside of assault or attempted murder for both of those scenarios.

I don't know where you are getting that I am saying it's ok to kill someone over this. Assault....well an ass beating probably wouldn't be out of line for punks like these, but unfortunately the law doesn't see it that way. Not sure what other options you could be referring to...calling the police? Sure, they'll be right on that. If you're lucky an officer will be by in an hour or two to file a report.

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.

Arkansas state code 5-2-608 says deadly force may be used against another person if the“person reasonably believes the use of deadly physical force is necessary to prevent the commission of arson or burglary by a trespasser.” Burglary hardly sounds the same as someone “using deadly force against you”. In fact, burglary is defined in Arkansas law as:


5-39-201. Residential burglary
(a) (1) A person commits residential burglary if he or she enters or remains unlawfully in a residential occupiable structure of another person with the purpose of committing in the residential occupiable structure any offense punishable by imprisonment.

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

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

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

So what do you do if this happens at your house? I always get my. 45 and head out looking for whatever is causing the noise. Never know in todays crazy world.

You would be surprised at how many people don't carry full coverage.
