Boy, 13, Shot Nine Times for Laughing About Neighbor's Burglary, Father Says

[DavenRoxy 1,073]

Truly a sad situation. Not sure what kind of person would hurt a kid for laughing at the crime, or perhaps the antics of the killer, let alone shooting them for being a kid. It should be a pretty open-and-shut case against the killer.

They charged the shooter with murder.

Too early to tell yet, and obviously no reason to shoot the kid, but I wonder if the kid was laughing at the guy because he did it himself or knew who burglarized the man's house? I can see that throwing the man into a rage more so than just getting mad at the kid for laughing in general. Perhaps he was taunting the man?

Yeah. I shoot every teenager who taunts me!

Reported. Not here, to the police. You are sick and need to be locked up.

Ok, his name was Kobe and he came from a family of 12 siblings and his family can't afford to pay for the funeral and want others to help them pay. Obviously it's a black family. :devil:

How did I do?

Marvin posted it. The victim was black and 90% chance the shooter was white.

Almost. Given the neighborhood, the shooter would most likely be black.

He was.

Do you think it's possible maybe the boy robbed him and was in his face telling him, you can't do anything about it . Shooting someone 9 times for laughing about your house being broken in is bizarre.. Little boy needed his but tore up for sure

That was my assumption.

The article said the guy was upset and acting out. Could be the kid was laughing at the guy for that.

Why would you and bolier assume the kid robbed him? Because if he did, he could call the police and have him arrested.

Without proof? Ain't gonna happen.

I don't know. Just a hunch. They were both black, so no racist angle to explore. Something surely set the guy off bad. Maybe it was just the taunting him. Maybe there is background.

Let me be clear before it starts. Nothing justifies him shooting the kid 9 times.

If that kid said anything that would incriminate himself, I'd call the police regardless.

I know. If the kid was part of the robbery, killing him wouldn't get his stuff back. There might be more to the story.
