A 10-year-old Miami boy was shot after his father took him on a faux drive-by shooting with a paintball gun — and a frightened homeowner returned fire with real bullets, according to authorities.

Michael Williams, 26, allegedly gave in to his son’s pleas late Sunday to take him on a paintball “drive-by shooting,” where police said the boy fired off the unlethal rounds into a crowd gathered in the front yard of an Opa-locka home, the Miami Herald reported.

The only drive by I ever did was when we’re driving in to the deer stand

Hope the boy learned a valuable life lesson. One his idiot father should have taught him.

Well, he made a showing at least. (You should note that I am being facetious in any case)

“I don’t see anything wrong here, kudos to this father who cares enough to train his young son in the family business.”

Son, I know this seems like a game now, but it’ll come in handy when you’re thirteen or so.

Kudos to the dad for staying around for his son 10 years ago. He could have walked away, but chose to stay and raise his son. Good man. IMHO

. . . . followed by a bad decision 10 years later. Oh well.

What about rounds in the eye of one of the kids playing. What a bunch of idiots. If I am on a criminal or civil jury this douche bag the home owner walks and pays nothing in a civil trial and if the home owner wants to file a civil or criminal suit the drive by idiots get nailed.

I want to know more about the homeowner who shot back.

What has he been charged with? I have no idea how liberal Opa-Loka is but if it is liberal ha will be charged with something that will ruin his life.

Two guys in hoodies and ski masks pull up and start shooting at your house. You shoot back and nail one of them, but you will go to trial for something, probably with a life sentence attached.

He should get a medal instead, but most of the US is short on brainpower these days.

He’ll probably be graduating to real drive-by’s in a few years

No! he will be in Seminary school.

Keep in mind if the same thing happened with a white cop being the one who returned fire there would be riots for days /weeks on end. The father would be given $15Million in settlement by the city.

Oh, wait, this isn’t New York, Baltimore, or Minneapolis.

DE Santos won’t give him a dime.

If you’re gonna be stupid, you gotta be tough.

Reminds me of something a friend told me, years ago. He had been playing cribbage with his dad, and quite unexpectedly, managed to win several games in a row. After losing yet again, the older man advised my friend (quoting second-hand, from memory):

"You know, Jim, you can have sh!t for brains, as long as you're lucky."

Maybe that kid ought to buy a lottery ticket...

;^)

Father was 15 not 16. You forgot gestation time. Wonder how old mother is.

Ignorant babies, who were raised by ignorant babies, raising more ignorant babies. Many teachers are fleeing the field because of “parents” like this.
