Before I was a teen all little kids in the neighborhood play this game. We called it “ring and run” or “johnny doorbell” back then. By the time we were teens we were actually done playing it.
I can honestly say most of us were done by the time we were 11 years old. That was a game 7 or 8 year old’s played. So you can see why we sure has well would not have done this at midnight.
Most 7 and 8 year olds were at home by dark, especially during the long summer days, 11 is still a kid, and it was just before 11pm on a Saturday night, not midnight, we called it ringing doorbells.
Besides, none of this justifies murdering an 11 year old kid or even shooting bullets down the street in a neighborhood.
By the way, we were doing it in Houston when I was a kid.
