| I don't see where anyone has excused this old loonie's actions.
What -has- been said is this;
That this person's ( the kid's ) continuing disrespect for his neighbor's property was enough to unhinge an already dangerously-unstable mind and cause this homicide ( for such it was ) to occur.
Nobody has excused the man's shooting of the kid, simply said that a certain set of aggravating factors finally caused this old man ( who all the neighbors said was a little loopy in the first place ) to finally go totally batshit. |
