No he wasn't he was not trying to break into anyone's house, he was not destroying property, and was not holding a weapon of any kind. Please tell me how running to a doorbell ringing it and running away is up to no good. It's innocnent kids' fun.

Disturbing folks in the middle of the night, and in many cases, frightening them, is not harmless fun to those on the receiving end.

You were not there. You have no way of knowing that any of those assertions are true. I'll wait for the police and DA to make a finding of fact.

Maybe when you're older and you have children you will understand how it is no good. You have no idea what is going on inside that house when you disturb it in the middle if the night.

Did you see how big the kid was? He's the size of an adult... I still can't get over how senseless this all was. How stupid the homeowner is for opening the door. That gunowner is a perfect example of someone who will experience exploitation by the gungrabbers. People like that guy are the reason groups like the brady bunch survive.

When I was in Houston, kids were banging on doors and running --- trying to lure occupants out, so a kid hiding nearby could go inside .

A neighbor went outside and around the corner, and his wife said someone came to the door, turning the door knob trying to get in. But she had locked the door and was standing there with a hammer.
