15 year olds with parents that neglect to whip their ass

Too bad the kid couldnt dodge a bullet.

It doesnt matter about a fence. The property line is what matters. I know DIO is out there in liberal california, but a mans property is sacred, Plus at his age 66, being alone, going to jail probably isnt the worse thing for him.

Here in the south, I can shoot you on my property if I tell you to leave and you dont. Regardless of fences or signs, it is private property. I may get arrested and have to go jail. But I would get off, cause no jury in the south would convict a man of protecting his property.

 

That's right bitches. You thought I was kidding about those kids running around up front? I've been planting the seed that exact seed in their minds for years now. They never leave when I tell them to, but that's alright. That's exactly what I want. All I need to do is piss them off enough, and they'll come back to slash my tires, and that's when I'll be waiting... waiting...

 

Are you going to shoot them for slicing the tires on your hyundai?

 

The tiny metal shards they left in the rubber would actually increase the value of your shitbox, smurf.

 

Vigilantism can't be justified in the case of his FRONT yard. If you live in a neighborhood, which this man did, kids will get on your lawn. That's part of the risk you accept when you live in a neighborhood. At no point have I said this kid was right. I know for a fact if I would have pulled something like that my dad would have found out and beat the shit out of me, but shooting a kid for being on your lawn. There is no way you can justify that. The fact that the man waited for the kid to come back makes it pre-meditated murder. I don't care how much you love your Petunia plants, you can't justify murder over a property line. This man was not protecting himself, this was a crime of vengeance. Society has no place for vigilantism. Especially when it involves pre-meditated MURDER.

 

Warning shot would have never worked would only have got the old man in trouble. The punk would have been back the next day. Then there is the idea of vandalism whenever the old man turned his back.

He was already screwed; I would venture to guess that he planned a warning shot to scare the dead little shit. Then he thought about how he was just going to loose at that also get in trouble with the authorities and not fix the problem then the kid probably said something that pushed him over the edge.

He has an awesome case for an insanity plea. I generally hate defense lawyers but would like to be his. I wonder what prescriptions he is taking.

 

"What are you going to do with that gun, ooooh Im so scared"

Boom.

 

Your right killing him was a little to much. What he should have done is hit him with a tranquilizer gun drug him into the house and injected about 100cc of lysergic acid diethylamide into his juggler vein then locked him up in a small cell out in the woods somewhere and pumped the song “Puff the Magic Dragon” into his ears at 150 db for three days. Then untied him and released him at his house at 2am in the morning while dressed in an alien costume.

The kid would never be the same. Not dead but no longer a misfit either. Just a seriously retarded punk that swears to everyone he was abducted by aliens who previously abducted puff the magic dragon who by the way is a member of the alien space fleet.

Problem solved and done so in a humane manner.

 

is it that you can;t conceive a middle ground joe or that you just refuse to acknowledge its presence?

 

What is the middle ground?

 

Blasting the kid in the legs, so it's not attempted murder.

 

Yea, but then you lose everything you have in the civil case.

 

He'd be in fugly forums in no time posting about the weather. The man killed a kid, and planned to do so. If the old man feels that justice was served then he can argue that in court. It'll be up to the jury now. If the jury feels it was justice then they can invoke jury nullification. If not, then the old man will do time.

 

I try Smiles honestly. I suppose if he just gave up trying on his yard. Lay down on the walk by his mailbox to be a doormat for all the kids in the neighborhood to simply shit on at their leisure and for their enjoyment. Then the kids may get bored with terrorizing the old man. Is that the answer though, I think not? There is no justice in that.

I proposed an alternative in my last post that seems like a middle ground approach.

A chemical lobotomy would free the old man of dealing with his hassle and leave his parents to deal with him as an invalid for the rest of his life. Hell that’s poetic justice.

 

Fuck it, the guy blasted the kid. People get blasted for less every day. Shit, I just blasted two mexicans for not having to pay taxes on their illegal labor. Then I went to McDonalds, through the drive-thru, and found out they got my order wrong so I had to drive all the way back and you better believe they got a blasting. I got home and had my bag of food in one hand and my gun in the other and rather than put one of the two under an armpit and reach into my pocket for the keys I just blasted the lock. Fuck it.

 

Yeeee-HAAAAAWWWWWW!

 

Dio said

And I laughed my ass off, for just a sec though cause then Dio said

Unfortunatly true and thats a real bummer.

 

Yeah, I think you should be a one-man judge, jury and executioner Joe. Fuck democracy, fuck the majority, fuck common sense.

 

i give up......... my points have been stated...... as have yours, and your "comprimise"..... which apparently doesn't include being an adult...... or having common sense.... patience or any other character trait that's essential in sustaining a society........... on another note, since you seem to recognise that this was a minor would be ok if he shot a 10 year old that did what we're all speculating this kid did? how about 8 years old? 5?

 

I think the bottom line is this is a tragedy all around. The old man got pushed too far. He's now going to pay for his actions, since the rest of his life he's going to know he killed a boy for essentially nothing. The kid, for being an idiot, is now dead. I'm not saying he deserved it, but had he been a little smarter this situation never would have happened. There are no winners in this scenario, everyone has lost. What a waste.
