The kid was the next door neighbor.

Yes, I know. But ANYONE who conducts an armed invasion of another person’s home with unknown (and possibly deadly) intentions deserves his fate. It’s all a process of culling the herd of its bad apples & stupid. The man defending his home may have saved not only his family’s life but also the lives of others down the road.
I didn’t suggest the kid didn’t earn his fate. I only stated a fact that the kid lived right next door.
