Quoted: In my mind I’m putting together the most likely scenario. The kid goes to the wrong house to pick up his siblings. The home owner tells him the siblings aren’t there. The kid demands to get his siblings which the home owner can’t provide. The kid being dumb tries to enter the house to look for his siblings. Then home owner shoots him. View Quote Could be... one thing for sure, at some point the kid went berserk, as they all do any time somebody does something they don't like, and the resident was forced to fire. It has to be a genetic trait. |

Halfway decent article here from Tony's KC blog; he's been writing this thing for about 20 years, and generally covers stuff more honestly (and more quickly and accurately) than the local press. He can at times be pretty lefty on some issues, but he's generally been a strong and vocal 2A supporter (and detests abortion . . . which makes the liberals really hate him) |

Who in the heck let's their elementary aged kids stay out until 10pm at someone else's house on a school night

Quoted: Story says he was ringing the doorbell. But maybe he was doing both. Many questions. E.g. you know what kind of language teens (black and otherwise) use... maybe he was pounding on the door and yelling "hey, open this motherf*cking door, you goddam motherf*cker" and so on. Scared the crap out of the little old man. Bang, bang. Regardless, just like they did with Treyvon Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, etc. the media will pump it for all it's worth. I can just see them in the conference room: "hey guys, we got a juicy one here!" I just feel sorry for the old codger; the last remaining years of his life have been turned into a living hell. Sad. View Quote According to the post showing a email from the school's Principal, Ralph Yarl is a great student and a very talented musician. Also sounds like he's waiting for the investigation to conclude before the rioting to start over Yarl. |

Do I have my facts straight here?
a) Only side of the story currently in the press is the kid's story; and b) The police have not made an arrest _________________________ If the above is true then shouldn't we be asking what facts the police know that the press doesn't? And waiting for those facts to be presented before passing judgement? |

And your 16 year old kid was out in the family car at 10pm. Isn’t that a bit odd?

Quoted: Look closer, the street and terrace are near the north city limits, and they aren't simple to trace. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: I haven't read much about this, but the posted article doesn't make sense. There is no 115th Street in "the northeast" part of the city as that term refers to the historically Italian now largely Vietnamese portion of downtown. If it was north of the river, it should be NE 115th or NW 115th Street. 115th without the directional prefix is 115 blocks south of the river. Sure, the mistakes been made before, but those 230 blocks are at least 30 minutes apart from each other. Having lived in Kansas City, Missouri I can tell you the whole street and terrace part can be confusing. On top of that Kansas City has many of these streets that start and stop one place and start up again a few blocks later. Before GPS became a thing, at times could be difficult going to a call and you think you're almost there, only to find the street ends per se and starts up again a few blocks later. Why KC did the whole Terrace and Street with the same numbers is beyond me. |

What pisses me off the most, is if the kid was white and a white guy shot him nobody would care. Now that he is black, it's a big deal, but does not matter how many blacks die day in and out, unless it's at the hands of a whitey. The other issues I have is, even if the guy was a racist and shot the kid, well, it's terrible but that his problem, not mine, why is it an indictment of all whites when a singular event occurs, which based on stats is very rare.

Many people mistakenly think "Castle Doctrine" extends outside their house. Unless the young man had a weapon, the shooter is in deep shit.
Statically, this is a very rare event. Whites shoot whites and blacks shoot blacks. Similar event here in Menard Count and the shooter was convicted of first degree murder. It did not make the national news for some reason. |

Quoted: stuff i heard is kid knocked on door doing a delivery for door dash or similar. then was shot twice in the head through a glass door. the shot twice thing makes me question the narrative, the narrative that the local news *here in maine so quite a ways removed* was kid is door dash driver , rings doorbell homeowner shoots twice through glass door with 2 shots to head and kid is in critical care. This means either A kid got shot in head and stayed upright for 2nd shot(my understanding is headshots are down right then) , there was a "pinning shot"(which would be easily evident and likely reported), or C the narrative isnt entirely factual. Based on Kyle rittenhosue initial "facts" reported, one cant be really sure what is reported is factual. The media is reporting kid was at wrong address, only how did they KNOW that, kid was shot in head twice. Im not a doctor but aside from democrat politians married to astronauts I'm unaware of any people that talk after 1 shot to the head. How did the "wrong house" narrative get started? View Quote seems like that would be easy to figure out, no? Kid gets ID'ed, parents say he was going to 1234 XXX street. Cops quickly realizes shooting was at 1234 XXX terrace. Kid doesnt appear to be a shitbag initially but the difference between "he was knocking" and "he entered" is critical and needs to be understood. |

Quoted: Honestly, it probably was an unfortunate misunderstanding. Maybe the kid tried opening the glass door, and the homeowner perceived that as a random guy trying to do a home invasion, which isn't an unreasonable conclusion to draw.

This happened Last Thursday night. The child is home recovering from a gunshot wound to the head and arm. No Caliber of weapon has been released so far.
https://www.kshb.com/news/local-news/ralph-yarl/live-updates-reaction-to-ralph-yarl-shooting-continues-gofundme-up-to-1-2m A neighbor went on a KMBZ-FM radio show Monday to describe his experience helping Yarl. The neighbor, James Lynch, told host Dana Wright of the Dana and Parks Show that he was out back of his house for a smoke when he heard someone yell "Help me. Help me. I've been shot." Lynch, who was 250 to 300 feet away, then saw Yarl stumble from the home and lay on the street. At first Yarl was motionless and devoid of any movement. Lynch said he was concerned that he had run to somebody who had passed away. But luckily, Yarl started to show movement and tried to lift his head up, but Lynch told him to keep it down. Lynch said Yarl was responsive to questions immediately and didn't seem to struggle for words at all. Lynch said that he did not hear the shots or any disturbance prior to hearing Yarl yell for help. |

Anymore, this will eventually make national news. FJB will call it racist and DOJ dictatorship will investigate as a hate crime.
