More info on those darling chillins....

“She said that Kifer had been in treatment more than once for abuse of controlled substances, and speculated that her cousin might have been after pills. Kifer had recently returned to school and had been trying to straighten out her life, Shaeffel said, adding that Kifer had stolen Adderall pills from Shaeffel’s home.

“Yes, she had an addiction problem and stuff, but that doesn’t mean she deserves to get murdered at 18 years old,” Shaeffel said. “I understand they came there to rob them, or whatever, but shoot them in the shoulder and call the cops.”

Whatever, Sweet-Cheeks. Ask your local Keystones when they are at the range how often they are taught “shoot to wound”, then get back to me.

You are correc in that standard self-defense doctrine is to aim for center mass.

However, he did not need to kill her at all, as it turned out.

According to his own statement, his initial center mass shot wounded and incapacitated her.

Not satisfied with eliminating the threat, he then chose to shoot her some more with a different weapon, and then he chose to execute her in cold blood some time after that.

If he had done the right thing, she might be in a prison hospital right now.

But because he chose evil, we will never know.

This is certain: her last moments on earth were a living hell. She was a human being. Someone's daughter.

Yeh -- their statements are almost as ridiculous as Smith's brother:

Byron Smith never called 911 but let the bodies lay in his home for just more than 24 hours while the teens' families tried to find them. Bruce Smith said his brother was distraught and didn't know what to do.

"Put yourself in his shoes after you shoot two people in your basement. How are you going to react?".

Really, Bruce. He called you and he called a neighbor and he ate Thanksgiving dinner while two people lay dead in his basement. And he didn't think to call the police??? and when you talked to him what did you tell him???

Bruce Smith said he believes his brother fired in self defense.

Really, Bruce, which of those 20 some shots were self-defense???? the two on the steps perhaps but the dozen or more while they lay there helpless. What exactly were they????
