This is EXACTLY why people need to take gun safety courses and get a CCL, even in Texas.

Got mine awhile back at a training academy headed up by a Gen X breh from from NYC (think he said Brooklyn).

Dude drilled it into our brains and even showed multiple videos about discharging weapons at people that are running away from you. If someone is attacking....you gotta think carefully about not just the attacker but also what's behind them and where the bullets may go.

Even if someone is coming at you....you might be sorta justified in shooting them but can STILL get sued in civil court....especially if we talking Black shooter and non-Black person getting shot.

If someone is running away, even if they stole something out your car and it's on tape....you DO NOT shoot them. The whole point is to fire your weapon when you're in imminent danger. Imminent = I have nowhere to run/hide and the other person is gonna kill me.

Only cops can get away with the "I feared for my life" bullshyt. Black cops can do it with Black citizens but not anyone else. Only white cops get full shooter privileges. Even military white boys can't do it.

The shooter can't excuse their actions. Idc what they say, especially if the kid was running away




Happened just before midnight :beli:

what the hell is an 11 year-old doing out in the streets at midnight :mjtf:



This is always one of my first questions. I do not understand kids being out at all times of the night

So the home owner was immediately supposed to know that its attacking kid ringing his bell close to midnight??

Please show me in the article where it says the resident knew it was a kid and shot him anyway. I must have missed that part
:mjlol:Because the 4'11 11-year-old probably screamed as he was running away and getting shot, so there's is no way you don't know it's a minor.

WHY IN THE fukk WOULD
YOU BE SHOOTING AT ANYONE
FOR RINGING A DOOR BELL AND RUNNING?

:devil:
:evil:

Because that's probably not what the shooter thought was happening? I have kids playing that game at my door all the time, always during the day. Annoys me sure but I would never shoot someone for it. On the flip side I have had grown drunk homeless people knock on my door past dark (I have cameras so I saw them stumbling up) worried be me enough where I got my gun. Just recently I had a group of chick's confuse my address with the address of girl there were looking to jump, again another incident with someone ringing the bell,this one there was wildin so much I spoke to them though the cam only

With this case I would be curious to see what the shooter saw. Someone creeping low up his driveway/porch (which is how kids do this usually)? Does the neighborhood have a lot of crime already?

It aint the 90s no more and people are now more on the edge than ever before. Plus it aint nikka knock anymore a lot of these “kids” are doing kicking in doors and running away.
Had some kids/teens doing this in our neighborhood (in Houston, at night), neighbors posted the Ring footage. They weren’t ringing the doorbell or knocking, they were turning around backwards and kicking the shyt out of the door, like someone trying to break in would do. My neighborhood is full of retired veterans waiting for somebody to try some shyt. :francis:
