Nobody hurt and you think the guy needs to go to prison? Why? A shotgun kills people quite easily. He didn't kill or even injure anyone, and therefore I must conclude it was not his intention to do so.
Why is scaring someone away from your house an imprisonable offense? Maybe county jail, but felony prison?
That's nuts.
At the end of the video in the link the reporter tells the hosts (Hoda? and Don Lemon?) that the husband and wife were on high alert after their home has had
5 previous break in's already (didn't say over what time frame). Considering the
5 break ins, this seems like a natural reaction, especially when the wife panicked.
Weird thing is, (I guess I shouldn't be surprised with the fake news madia anymore) the 2 black hosts side with the black kid. Directly after hearing about 5 previous break ins, Hoda's immediate response, "it's hard to argue with video that shows what happened." Then the male host says "you can't even see the man trip". Pretty quick to give their opinion without a shred of racism there. /s
