Doesn’t really matter - he was running away when the guy fired that shot.

From the article:

"The teen was uninjured in the attack"

Wait. This guy fires a shot in the general direction of someone running away from his porch after his wife said someone was trying to break into their house?

Does not kill fleeing person. Does not even injure fleeing person. Presumably fired the shot over his head to scare fleeing person.

Four to ten years in prison for that? That's nuts.

When I first saw this article, I thought he had killed someone. I didn't realize he hadn't injured him at all and had only scared him, which I think was the entire point.

This is bullsh*t. 30 days in Jail at the most.

Depends if the shooter was trying to hit the kid. If he was, it could rise to attempted murder.

Yeah, but....  The kid was black. And that is all that matters. If it were a white kid, the idiot homeowner would not have fired, and if he did, this would not be news, and he would have done his 30 days.
