Anyone that believes this kid “missed the bus” and “was just asking for directions” is too gullible to live much longer in this country.

I live in this area (20 minutes away) and have watched the local news & video. Sorry, but it’s pretty apparent this was a young school kid with a back pack that was lost. The guy should have NOT even leveled the gun against the kid much less had his finger near the trigger as he did it after the kid was running away. You could chalk it up to a temporary severe lapse in judgement, attribute the previous break-ins as contributing factors and possibly his age towards a bad decision, but it was definitely that - a BAD decision to be lighting off a shotgun in a suburban neighborhood like that with a kid running away.
And anyone who watched the video of this guy and thinks what he did was legal and ethical, isn’t just gullible but downright stupid.
This guy deserves to go to jail, he knew he effed up, and lied to the police about his actions... This is the kind of fool that gives all gun owners a bad name.
