He was found guilty based on a video that was shot by his own security system.

You could say that he was hoisted with his own petard.

Very bad shoot.

Kid was cleancut.

Guy fired at a fleeing suspect. Generally, if you cannot claim that you are in fear for your life, do not pull the trigger.

I know the article says the kid missed the bus, but how does a 14 year old get lost walking to school? Is he retarded?

I've had one question since I first read of this story...

How is it this kid got lost on his way to school? Did he not know where the school was? Had he never been there before? Seems very odd.

He’s a moron, and should get the book thrown at him... Fools like this are the problem, period.

Obviously the guys not too bright, he tried to claim he fell and the gun went off.... even though he was on his own CAMERA at the time...

Now the odds of any serious damage with birdshot at the range the boy was at by the time he fired was next to nill (and I don’t know what sort of shot the guy had).... buck shot probably wouldn’t have hit the kid at those range due to the spread, but had it it would have done harm...

But either way, throw the book at this idiot. Millions of law abiding sane gun owners get tarred by the actions of fools like this.

Based strictly on the video it appears the homeowner was not being threatened.

However, the video appears to be edited. Watch the kid walk up to the door, after about 1 second, the kid is seen almost in reverse, walking backwards then fleeing. It appears to be edited right after he knocks on the door.

And most burglaries occur in the a.m. when most people are at or on their way to work.

Joe Biden would have shot through the door.

“Lost” “Asking for directions”

Who the heck believes that?

Knock-knock robbery

They are a real thing.

So, the kid had his backpack on but no cell phone? Something doesn’t add up.
