So this 74 year old man, shoots from "inside his house" and hits a 15 year running across his yard? Either the boy was incredible unlucky or there's alot more to this story.
Unless the man was terribly paranoid, why was he even aware that there was someone running across his yard? He must have been alarmed by something, or how would even know the boys were there?
And the fact that the mother was legally drunk with drugs in her system doesn't change the facts AGAINST the guy they hit and killed her. Yeah, she was driving illegally, but they are saying it didn't contribute to the crash.
anyone who doesn´t fire a warning shot in a situation like that is a murderer
Where exactly do you aim for a warning shot? Warning shot are not only possibly illegal, but completely irresponsible. And legalities aside, its easy to judge someone else when you're NOT in their situation.
Isn't it strange that in stories like this, the teenagers are always innocent youths, usually on the way to/from choir practice. What are the chances that if the mother was drunk and had drugs in her system that her kid and his friends also drank and used drugs?
If we have to pick sides based on the few facts available, then I side with the shooter. I feel bad for the families, but a man should be able to live in peace.
