Georgia man shoots and kills young Latino who accidentally pulled into his driveway

[Usui Takumi 1,562]

It's Cause/Effect:

Was the guys initial reaction shooting his gun into the air a bit extreme? Perhaps.

HOWEVER, the kid rolled down the window in front of a man man with a gun. You don't get much more stupid than that right there.

The kid didn't 'deserve' to die, but he's definitely got some fault in this.

Shooting in the air was extremely dangerous. The kid has no blame in this, the man is a murderer.

Amazing how you continue to reach all time lows every time your fingers hit your keyboard. I'm ashamed to call you a fellow American.

Apologizing is stupid. Being a lunatic with a gun is better. You should teach him that.

well i'm hoping that his blonde hair and blue eyes won't provoke any undue paranoia..while giving him a 'don't wait and see, shoot to kill' lifetime excuse..

Never forget 1/30/13.

A new level of crazy was reached here today.

What is crazy is all of you screaming about how wrong the guy is .. You are all right. He was wrong and has been charged with the crime under the law, as he should be. This is no more or less than wrong than when any other criminal kills someone without justification. The shooter is a criminal and is being dealt with.

No, what's crazy is defending a murderer. Which is what I was replying to. Someone actually trying to blame the kid for his own death. True insanity.

Exactly.

I'm more amused that people are this bothered by the situation. It's on incident in a Georgia neighborhood that has no effect on your life or those around you. It's one of those *gasp* news stories that someone is just trying to take the guns out of the hands of citizens.

You wanted to make a murder political. You made your bed, so now lay in it. It's really that simple.

You can't be shocked by reactions when you don't get the answers/reactions you were looking for.

Sucks to be the kid, and sucks the old man is going to be bent over in prison. Sucks for them and their families, but as I said. It doesn't go much further beyond that.

How many stories here actually have an impact on your personal life or those around you? Not many. It's an internet forum and a subforum where news stories are posted. If you don't care, don't comment. But you clearly do, as here you are.

Care? No. It's simply entertainment to pass the time.

I always love when people use this excuse. "You're all silly for being here and posting about this, but my reason for doing the same is superior to yours."

Whatever makes you feel better.

I guess it would be ok to shoot the mailman, UPS or FedEx driver too for trespassing if he rang your doorbell to deliver a package? Ditto for the kid selling Girl Scout cookies. Or the Census worker. Or the guy reading the electric meter. Or gas meter. Or water meter. Or working on the phone or power line. After all, you'd be protecting your property.

i'm personally bothered because tons of people have and use guns in my own community and there are plenty that are trigger happy. and racist.

i have brown people in my family and considering they're normally the ones who end up dead in these sorts of scenarios i worry about them, especially my teenaged cousins.

when i read an article like this my reaction isn't "take the guns, let the good honest caring government take all the guns. please i'm scared, make it better obama", my reaction is "some people are not stable enough to maintain proper use of a firearm and shouldn't have the capability to snuff a life in a matter of seconds due to improper judgement/paranoia"

Logic doesn't go over well here.
