I say again:

Shooting someone who you don't absolutely need to shoot is a fucking stupid idea.

I don't know if this girl needed to be shot or not...but you know what? Even if she did need it, being responsible for putting a bullet in a 17 year old girl's head fucking sucks even if it was a perfectly legit shoot. There are, I'm sure, some people who would be able to do that and never have a moment's trouble with having done so, but the majority of people who see a young woman with her head half blown off will not have the same nonchalant reaction.

It's one thing if you have to do it to preserve your life or the life of a loved one.

It's quite another when it was "git owf mah layand!!!" bullshit that you weren't forced into.


It sucks that she and her accomplices put those two men in the position to have to make that decision.

"Small caliber rifle"=AR? Also what led to pulling the trigger? 2 against 3 isn't the worst odds, especially if you have a rifle. A rifle would be out in the open not concealed, so did the boys attack armed men or where they on the run?

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile


I would bet something like a Marlin 60 .22. We all know that if an AR was used it would be described as a military issue assault machine gun.

If the kids were just standing there or running away its a bad shoot.....can't kill people for property crime.


I don't know about Alabama law, but you damned sure can in Texas - and that's how it should be.


i think you mean property theft. i dont think you can shoot even in texas for vandalism


That's weird. Vandalism in my mind is equivalent to theft. Just destroying someone's shit for whatever reason? You're taking dollars out of someone's pocket.


i would not disagre. i just think the law does not see them as the same thing

Erm, pretty sure that most of the posts in this thread tended towards the "Eh, don't hang out with criminals/be a criminal and you won't get shot in the head" angle.

Not sure if that's what you wanted to read though.

Maybe they're just reading what they want to.

Like, they're insane and the words just appear to them like they want on the screen. To them this probably reads either "EXECUTE THE HOMEOWNER FOR KILLING A WHITE GIRL" or "THE CAT IS PURPLE SMOKE IT HARD." either or.

I've got an idea.....Don't trespass and facilitate theft at 4 in the morning and you won't get shot.  While tragic a teen got shot she made her bed.  Kids these days have no respect for other peoples property.  I bet the boys that attempted the break in won't be doing that again.  The girl was probably acting as a look out for the other three mouth breathers.  Maybe I have become jaded about stuff like this but I could give two fucks less what happens to these stupid kids.  Fuck them, just leaves more air for the rest of us to breathe.  

And if the DA in that area was smart, they would charge those boys with murder is that girl dies.  If they wouldn't have been committing a crime, the girl would not have gotten shot.


this is the right answer.  its fucking 4am.  they are breaking into someones property- fuck them.

Not in Florida. Don't know about Al. Probably very similar. That's why the msm/cnn/obama propaganda is targeting it. In Fl the legal occupant has a legal presumption of innocence. In a tent, car, trailer, bus, motor home, doesn't matter. The injured woman wasn't "just trespassing." She was with a group committing a forcible felony, burglary. They are all guilty of the same crime. This forcible felony also had the element of a disparity of force. Innocent law abiding folks in Florida are not required to to presume the intentions, plans, tactics, etc of forcible felons. We're tired of all the lib bullshit and crime.

Good shoot.

That's what I wondered.  Perhaps they were IN the cabin, had their backs turned, and the victim shot into the cabin from outside.  That would change things considerably.  Back-of-head shot doesn't automatically mean "fleeing at the time."

I think the kids were breaking in, the two caretakers each fired shots at them, the girl was outside as lookout or something, might have been facing the dock and was hit by an errant round.

if you are part of a group who is commiting a home invastion you run the risk of getting shot. If you are the door kicker or just the look out. if you are on scene then you run that risk so yea i would say you deserve to get shot if you are at a home invasion as part of the invaders. i got no issue with that.

being shot in the back of the head does not confirm what went down. just that she got shot in the back of the head.

Big fucking difference between sneaking out and drinking some beer in the woods or getting some back seat split critter and kicking in someone’s fucking door…

The property owners / caretakers had no way of knowing that the people kicking in their fucking door were hardened criminals or teenage kids being stupid.

I saw a study a while back that many perps are shot in the back by cops because the perp will do something like shoot at the cop and then turn before the cop can react and pull the trigger on his gun.
