the proximate cause of this whole stupidity is the boy. The boy caused this whole event. He is SOL. This should be for the civil suit too. If the family sues the man, I hope the man countersues the boys estate and parents (who have liability in fl) for an equal amount. In fact he should sue them anyways to recover the cost of any criminal defense bills he has to endure because of this kids stupidity.
Hey, along with all those suits against the family of the kid he shot, maybe he should put up a locking gate at the entrance to his property, remove his door bell so that no one is improperly led to the idea that they are welcome, and finally, post his property to warn off the unwary.
The fact that he has a door-bell means he welcomed visitors and bid them to let him know they were there so that he could come and spread his beneficence.
In this case he betrayed the trust folks had placed in him to abide by civilized norms. He's gonna' pay big time. Do they use "old sparky" down there or is it just an injection? Anybody know?
