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

Maybe, but I’m guessing you’re also not going to shoot them through the door for knocking on it.

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

Same here, sometimes pizzas would get delivered to a house at the other end of the block, “60” can sound like “16” over the phone.

Actually, this is just tragic. The old guy was probably scared to death because of the tidal wave of black crime and home invasions and murder.
A nice black kid who was going places, paid the price for the fear the ferals spread.

“If there’s nothing else to this story, this is a horrible tragedy. Old man got jittery, I guess”

Guys shooting through glass doors at someone is a lot more then a tragedy. The gezzers kids should have took his guns away long time ago.

The numbers go higher North to South, Street first, then Terrace, as it is in JoCo. 115th St., 115th Terr., 116th St., 116th Terr...... IIRC, Drive comes after Street and Terrace.

“ He walked up to the door, rang the doorbell. A man opened up the door, looked him in the eye and said don’t ever come back here as he shot him in the head.

‘My nephew fell down and the man shot him again, he was able to get up and ran to the neighbor, who did not open the door. He ran to three houses before one of the neighbors said put your hands up and lay on the ground,.

‘And then he lay on the ground like he passed out before the neighbor called the police for help.”

It’s a damned shame. It really is. You see that dude who got lit up by the cops in New Mexico? Last name Dotson. That one was really bad.

Assuming this kid did nothing wrong (an assumption I’m willing to make) this is certainly very sad.

80 years old...10PM? Assuming that this guy wasn’t known to be a troublemaker this could very well be a tragic accident rather than something worse.

He reportedly pulled into the driveway of the home at 10pm on April 13, rang the doorbell, and was immediately shot in the head by the homeowner.

Why are these kids out on school nights at 10PM??? Need more details but it's not smart knocking on doors at 10pm, and no, that shouldn't get you shot, BUT it's not smart. So if you're knocking on doors at 10pm on a week night stand back and show your hands, don't crowd the door etc. Sounds like a tragic accident.

Nope, I'd likely yell down thru a window or thru the camera. I probably wouldn't answer the door.

Didn’t he know only the police are allowed to fire at people indiscriminately?

Sounds like an accidental shooting at worse.. guys 80 and a black kid knocks on his door. Odds would normally be 99% chance of an intruder or something even worse. That’s just the way it is.

The facts speak: With a crime rate of 57 per one thousand residents, Kansas City, MO has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One’s chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 17. Within Missouri, more than 96% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Kansas City. In fact, after researching dangerous places to live, NeighborhoodScout found Kansas City to be one of the top 100 most dangerous cities in the U.S.A.

He thought he was at the correct house to pick up 2 of his siblings.

When it suits their purposes, they tell us the races. Perhaps if so many young non-Whites weren’t so prone to violence, theft, rape and murder, the guy wouldn’t have been scared to death thinking that a street savage was going to attack him.

Remember the “knockout ‘game’ “ and understand why the guy was scared.

The police let the guy go. There’s more to this story than is being reported.

He apparently was going to a house in the 1100 block of Northeast 115th Terrace, instead he went to a house in the 1100 block of Northeast 115th Street. Not an unlikely or implausible error.
