Absolutely!

I used to live at an address that was constantly confused with a similar address one block away.

But the usual suspects will ride this horse until it drops.

Viola Davis and Halle Berry have both since called for justice for Ralph after hundreds of protesters marched outside the home of the suspected shooter on Sunday with the victim's family to demand action.

115th Street vs 115th Terrace on opposite ends. KC is known for confusing addresses.

[Jim Noble]

“ The teen had received a letter from Yale Undergraduate Admissions Board identifying him as a ‘good candidate’ for the prestigious university.”

Everybody gets those.

It was still a bad shoot, and this poor old man is going to pay the price.

[PLMerite]

"...mistakenly approaching the wrong address"

The devil is in the details.

How did he approach the house?

Were the occupants asleep?

Did the young man get angry when the door was answered?

“Ralph was known among his peers for his intellect...”

Ralph wasn’t smart enough to knock on the correct door.

[Hardshell]

I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance........

He reportedly pulled into the driveway of the home at 10pm

I someone knocks on my door at 10pm I'm not going to be happy.

That old man and his family are hopefully in a hidden location.

[midwest_hiker]

I thought all gifted programs weee cancelled, due to being racist.

[LouieFisk]

This young man was looking to attend Texas A&M to major in Chemical Engineering.

Ringing someone’s doorbell isn’t a threat. Maybe the old man can mount an insanity defense?

Everybody gets those.

He's definitley getting in now. On full scholarship.

[1Old Pro]

Ringing someone’s doorbell isn’t a threat.

Nope, and if you do at my house I'll probably yell at you from a window.

Bummer. But I wanna see the same attention given to the hundreds of whites attacked monthly in carjackings, armed robberies, rapes, home invasions, etc.

[Red6]

They were just white kids.

Where they trans or gay? No.

Not a big deal, sorry.

[Nashcash]

Yes, best to wait until more info comes out.
