Yeah sure you all say "First of all, I think this is wrong" then you go on listings all the reasons why his actions are totally excusable then say again "But yeah its still wrong"...Give me a break.

Dont you see the OBVIOUS point? Where was the kids body found? In the OLD MANS YARD. A silent, testament to the FACT this kid didn't have the common EXPECTED, CONSTITUTIONAL courtesy to respect his property rights. Perhaps, if they were GOOD parents, they would have noticed the neighbors obvious "fragility" of his state of mind, and FORBID the child to enter this mans lawn?
The mans rights were violated, no matter WHAT you say. On those grounds, he was right to take action, he just chose the least appropriate, and most questionably legal form of action, and NOW he will pay the price for HIS actions, just like the kid did.

This guys actions were not excusable at all unless your a right wing neo-con loony who sits on his redneck ranch with a shotgun in hand waiting to blast anybody that sets foot on his property.

I say:
And you automatically assume guilt of the old man because he was a "kid". You neglect that he talked to the parents, WARNED the parents of his views of his property, and still the parents ALLOWED their child to walk on his lawn bringing unfortunate but obvioius problems, which unfortunately cost this child his life.
BOTH of them were irresponsible, but BOTH of them AGAINST THEIR WILL will have to pay for their actions, because they BOTH broke the law. To bad the parents just didn't teach the kid more respect for property and rights.

Oh and at least one of you did totally excuse his actions and say he shouldn't go to jail. Can you relate to the old man being annoyed at the kid? Yes...but if you can relate to that leading to him murdering the kid then you are severely f*cked up in the head.

I say:
Because I understand that EVERYONE has a breaking point that is different, and based on situational emotions, I am severely fucked up?
I didn't excuse it, I said I UNDERSTAND how it could happen. Did you read MY story about my idiot neighbors? How about them?
Your abhorece for armed reataliation in THIS case is right, but to NOT see the guilt on the BOYS end is to be in DENIAL of facts.
