I’d like to know why the kid was after the little girl. That is left out of the story. Who knows, maybe she busted him in the head with a rock or pushed him down a flight of steps or something. I like to reserve judgement in a case like this until all the omitted facts come out. The boy’s old man was definitely an azzhole for bringing a gun into a kid’s fight and he deserves whatever he gets.
I would like to know as well, but the kid didn’t say a word when the neighbor was telling him to quit banging on her door and go home. Why didn’t he state his business? Why was he there? What did he want?
