The guy was wrong no doubt, but I'll be willing to bet the kid would be alive today if the parents had taught him to respect. That's what is missing today.

The most apt and succinct summary of this thus far.

Has the man never heard of a fence? And if he was not allowed to put up a fence, I noticed he had a row of cedars. He could have put cedars around his property. Kids will be kids. I don't think this was a bad kid. Kids don't think about stuff like that. He walked across a lawn, to him it was just a lawn, and no big deal. A lawn is hardly anything that someone should get murdered over.

And yes, I know kids are different today, than they were in most of our days. That is no reason, or excuse, to murder them. I'm sure this straight A student would have matured into a productive adult. No doubt in my mind. Patience seems to be sorely lacking in our society these days. I find it sorely lacking in myself these days. These seem to be extremely trying times we are living in. People need to get a grip, and not respond with violence.
