I think most burglaries are during the daytime when nobody is at home. That being said, I think the kid got what he deserved. It is the parents fault.
You think this kid deserved to die because he was playing ring and run??
I'm shocked at some of these comments here. Yes, it's irresponsible behavior, but who of us was a model, responsible citizen at 16?
My friends and I used to TP other peoples' yards late at night when we were about that age. We's sneak out from slumber parties and the parents wouldn't even know. We played ring and run when we were a little younger, although it was never at 12:30 a.m.
Thank God nobody was quick on the trigger at us back then, or I guess I'd be dead as "deserved."
And yes, I am a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment and I own a gun.
