ATLANTA (AP) -- Authorities say a driver enraged because a 17-year-old boy egged his Mercedes on Halloween fatally shot the prankster in the neck and throat as he tried to run away.
Atlanta police spokeswoman Kim Jones says the driver confronted the teen and fired 10 shots at him around 8 p.m. Sunday.

Have to admit, I didn’t see that one coming. I figured it would be the “that’ll teach ‘em” crowd vs. those who might say it’s bit of an over-reaction.

“What color?”
Hmmmm
“The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office says the teen, Tivarus King, died as he was being taken to Grady Memorial Hospital.”
Btw, the DRIVER has not been charged, yet.
“She says the suspect is being questioned by homicide investigators but has not yet been charged.”

When I was a teen in the 80s, some jack-asses egged my car. I had a 1966 Nova SS with custom paint. My dad and I put over 100 hours in color sanding and buffing the paint after we got it back from the paint shop.
So we had more personally invested in it than an average owner.
Did I want revenge? Yes. Did I want someone dead? Not in the least.

Since the teen posed no threat, it’s homicide.

Great observation.
I am sure all of the Journolists/race hustlers/Duke Professors/Olbermann/Maddow/Andrea Kremer-types has a collective “darn” moment when the Mercedes driver most likely was black.
They had a national Jesse/Al march moment with a rich white (profession) who kills an innocent “youth” who egged his Greedy Capitalist Mercedes (German-made = Nazi reference) and then was killed for being a “prankster”.
I feel horrible for the family of this kid, it is a tragedy, but the Liberal Media obviously buries this as a “dog bites man” story that just missed the “victim” narrative.
I loathe the Leftist, lying, slanted media.

Good thing I did not have a gun with me when a teenager threw rock at my passing car. But I would never shoot to kill, just to scare the shyt out of him so he won’t do it again.

“Jones says officers dispatched to the scene in northwest Atlanta spotted a gold Mercedes driving by and detained the driver. She says the suspect is being questioned by homicide investigators but has not yet been charged.”
If this is black on black crime ... I can see where there might be a problem ... . It’s not supposed to be that way.

I have had my car egged on Halloween. I was REALLY REALLY mad, but I never saw the little darlings. My instinct would have been to grab my gun, but I would have chilled.
But getting dried egg off your car is not easy...

Extremely excessive force ... the kid egged a car and was running away. Enjoy your prison sentence.
