Police: Teen who hit SUV with eggs slain
AP ^ | 12/3/06

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A 14-year-old boy who was throwing eggs at cars along with two other teenagers was shot and killed by someone who had been in a sport-utility vehicle that was hit, police said.

Danny Crawford was killed by a gunshot wound to his upper body, Franklin County Coroner Brad Lewis said. He died in an alley on the city's west side early Saturday, authorities said.

The teens were throwing eggs at cars when an SUV that was struck chased them, Detective Tim Huston said. The vehicle stopped and several gunshots were fired, he said.

Police were looking for the shooter, who fled in the SUV, Sgt. Dana Norman said. The SUV believed to be involved was found a short time later near where Crawford died.

The other teens were not hurt, police said.

How do you justify the murder?

Jesus did twice justify "murder" of children that cursed/hit their parents in the New Testament and shamed those that were against it as the O.T commanded. Are you ashamed of it.

* "He who strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death." Ex. 21:15

* "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? For God commanded, saying... `He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.' But you say..." Mat. 15:3-4

* "For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men..." [Jesus] said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother; and 'He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.' But you say..." Mark 7:8-11

We are not to do this vigilante style, but give place to wrath (let the government authorities do it)... but Jesus was not one bit callous about the death penalty.

Anyone that has ever been to Columbus would know that both " the innocent child" and the shooter in the SUV were quite likely gang-bangers.

I was there in 98 for a tooling convention ( tool+die). We stayed at a very high dollar hotel and were warned to NOT drive around that city( 3 day event) because it was unsafe.

It is a total sewer and driving in and out of that city every 3rd vehicle was gang-bangers.

That 14 year old was too young to drive, and probably had no idea of the possible consequences of throwing eggs at cars. He most likely thought it was just a cute prank, harmless in the main. He was wrong, of course, and that's why we have parents in charge of young skulls full of mush. The SUV driver who shot him can't claim the same ignorance. This was murder, plain and simple.

First of all, I'm not "defending" anyone. The kid was wrong to throw the eggs. However, he didn't deserve to be murdered because of it.

You, however, are defending someone who deliberately took a human life in cold blood, motivated by nothing more than a desire for revenge. That shows how little YOU respect human life.

Someone with anger management problems can just go off because of something like that.

It's not an 'anger management problem'; it's a threat to your f***ing existence.

I wouldn't shot.I'd just stop,open the door and let my Shepherds out of the car."

Yep...my firearms don't show up until you've breached my fourth and fifth layers of self-defense. My SUV has a dual-shepherd anti-theft system that loves eggs...

Never mind responding to my earlier inquiry. I see you lack the ability to comprehend the written post.

"Teenage egg throwing is not a death sentence."

true is shouldn't be

but

peeps gotta remember;

you CAN choose your actions

you CANNOT choose the consequences

you CAN choose your "friends"

you CANNOT chose the consequences of being with your "friends"

Would I be considered a bigot if I asked if the SUV had "spinners" and other such "bling"? Not that I'm assuming anything other than...oh, say perhaps, the owner has a lot of class and taste.

I fully agree that if the guy chased him down and beat the hell out of him I would not have a problem with it at all, and if I was on the jury I would vote he walks out a free man for doing it. To use deadly force is another thing altogether, the penalty for throwing eggs shouldn't be the right to kill the guy doing it.

When I posted this exact same scenario after it happened here in Indianapolis I couldn't believe the amount of people who genuinely felt that the guy that was caught should be given a pass for killing a high school student.

Egging a car is wrong and he definitely should be brought in front of a judge for it and made to pay, heck if the guy just shot into the dirt and scared the living s#$t out of him I would consider that a great life lesson.

Chasing down the egg-thrower, cornering him in a blind alley, pointing a gun at him... I'm thinking that at some point this kid ceased to be a threat to the shooter's existence. Pretty sure it was some time before the sixth round was capped off.

"can you blame them for reacting so strongly?"
Oh hell no. You should be able to shoot anyone who may cause you to brake hard, use evasive driving techniques or exercise self-restraint at any time during your lifetime.
If someone serves you lumpy gravy, cap their ass. They endangered you by causing your blood pressure to rise.
Peace up homey. You got it going on. No dissing you bro. Slap the ho silly.
Same mind set as your's but it's said in a different manner.

In this case the verdict is clear - the egg came first.

You could make a bumper sticker out of that. "Whose Ass Would Jesus Bust A Cap In?"

Every reference you use is speaking of adult children. No wonder people get the idea that Christians are nut logs when a character like you seeks to use the bible as support for the murder of a 14 year old.
I think Islam is where you will find welcoming arms.

I don't believe the kid had NO IDEA of the consequences, but I digress. Yes this was murder in the fact that the driver shot the kid dead and did not give place to wrath (let the authorities deal out the justice). If the kid had killed a occupant of the car, like nearly happened to myself, then the law of Moses would require his death. But in this case, death was not warrented, and the angry driver who could of just held the thug until police arrived took arger by the hand and unjustly killed the thug.

Your point is valid sir. I just have problems with people that act like this was just a little prank to be easily ignored.
