>> "If they thought it was a burglar, what kind of burglar knocks?" <<

It's called Home Invasion. One person knocks to get you to open the door. Then you get rushed by the knocker or a group. Have read many stories in paper.

Of course the intersting point: What if this was a home invasion gone bad? Would the friends and family of the boy be beyond LYING about this being a harmless prank?

(in the middle east it is common practice to have arabs quickly remove weapons and hide them in order to claim unarmed civilians were "unarmed". There is also the staged palestinian funeral with the living dead body.)
