Nice shootin’, son.
My kind of kid!!!
"suspect".
Article doesn't say the kid ALLEGEDLY fired at them.
I can’t wait for the first person to suggest the kid will be in trouble for firing at the car as it sped away from the scene.
I say, good shooting, kid!
It's the radical leftist anti-2nd amendment Yahoo "news" useing their newspeak language. I'm surprised they showed pictures of the burglers.
Damn!
Now even 13 year olds are contributing to hostile work environments and work place violence. :-)
The liberals would just prefer that we sit quietly in the house while the burglars are allowed to take whatever they want . Of course I suspect many of them are of the burglar variety themselves but woul dcry profusely if someone stole their cell phone or gaming console…
If this happened in NYC or Chicago, the boy’s mother would be jail.
Good shooting, Young Citizen. Civilization thanks you.
This is not someone you ever want to get in a gun battle with.
He puts three rounds in a suspect, then, continues the battle and puts bullet holes in a car driving away.
That’s not just shooting, that is cool under pressure.
Seeing that his accomplice died as a result of the crime, he should also be charged with murder.
Remarkable! I couldn’t hit squat when I had to fire that vest pocket bazooka in the military.
The exchange of gunfire in the home with the two suspects resulting in Lamar Anthwan Brown, 31, receiving three gunshot wounds while his suspected accomplice Ira Bennett, 28, was later charged and arrested.
Police stated that Bennett dropped fellow suspect Brown off at Trinity Hospital after fleeing the crime scene.
Brown died of his wounds.
It's great about the happy ending.
I just hope the 13 year old boy can deal with HAVING to take the life of another human.
(even if human might be a stretch)
Not felony murder?
In liberals minds, it's our fault for having things in the first place.
If we didn't have things, others wouldn't have a reason to steal from us.
So it's our fault for making them steal.
It was thoughtful of Bennett to drop Brown off at the ER rather than just pushing him out of the car.
This was NOT the Colt .45 that Lamar Anthwan Dindu Nuffin was looking for...
You’re walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you.
What do you do?

Democrat’s Answer:
Well, that’s not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor! Or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think? What about the kids?
What does the law say about this situation?
Is it possible he’d be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on , could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1 ?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing!
I need to discuss with some friends over a latte and try to come to a consensus.
