    I'm guessing the shooter wasn't white.

    Except the part about people taking responsibility, otherwise very sad. I have a feeling the old man may be charged weather the family wants it or not.

    On the bright side, this sends a great message to all of the area's young, impressionable yutes. This is why we have far fewer home invasions than England.

    Yeah, see, that's the thing. Whether the family wants it or not is completely irrelevant.

    Sure, THIS TIME, it was their kid. But what about next time? Or what about the little girl who is just minding her own business in the street and may get shot because Joe Dumbass points his gun out the window and fires with no regard to a specific target? Or Billy Bob Dumbass who decides to follow Joe's example because he didn't get charged for doing it?

    Yeah, it sucks - but the homeowner SHOULD be charged, without regard to what "the family" wants. That family isn't the only one with a stake in maintaining the public good.

    Why can't I hit targets in broad daylight when I am aiming at them, and this guy manages to do it blindly into the night?

    I suspect he did see the kid, or at least knew he had hit him, but was afraid to admit it thinking he would get into more trouble.

    Looks like the neighborhood is either gentrifying or ungentrifying. Looks more like ungentrifying.

    Are the shingles on that house next door installed upside down (or downside up)?

    Just badly weathered. Looks like a wonderful neighborhood with a boarded up house next door.
