"He took the life of a kid showing bad judgment but was not a threat."

He definitely showed bad judgement by not calling the police. I would not assume these kids were not a threat. I would have assumed the opposite. He didn't know if they were armed or not. All he knew was that there were four kids outside his home threatening his son. He didn't know if they were armed or not. It's easy to know this now after its all over.

Why would you go outside if you didn’t know if they were armed? Heck it would be better to assume there were armed and stay away from the threat.
