“Territorial marking. I control this place, I’m making it unpleasant for you, and you haven’t got the guts to do anything about it.”
According to the story the kid was in the back seat having no control over the volume. Also, shooting the speakers of the car would have made more sense if the shooter wanted to reclaim”territory”.
Even if it was territory (and I don't buy that for a minute), the shooter invaded their space. He drove up to them and approached their vehicle.
No, I don't buy the whole 'territory' thing. Kids blast music. If this guy was annoyed, he should have called the cops. Instead, he took his annoyance and snapped, becoming a cold-blooded murderer. He could have just ignored the situation, walked away, called the police regarding the noise ordinance, turned his own music up, or laughed it off. He went out of his way to be the aggressor in a situation he had no justification in being one.
I’m not justifying the shooter in any way - out of control, belligerent, stupid - if he gets a life sentence, fine by me.
I still say people making obnoxiously loud noises are aware that the are claiming territory.
Why if a stupid, belligerent black teenager kills a middle-aged white man for some stupid belligerent trivial impulsive reason, isn’t it national news?
You don’t have to answer that.
