Teen shot over vandalizing McCain sign

Crap...this is just a few blocks from my house!!!

I don't think its bs guys. I am in the land of Obama signs. I, alas, have up Ron Paul signs with end the fed on them!!! Everyone thinks I'm crackers (excepting fellow RP supporters) so I guess they just leave us alone...

The area he is in is not the safest area and tension is probably high with all the race baiting our area politicians are playing. If you listened to area radio shows you would swear all white folks are racist unless you bridge that gap and vote for Obama.

Here's a link to what appears to be the police report on this incident: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2008/1028081mccain1.html?link=rssfeed

Nonsense. He should have a right to protect his property. He didn't shoot them, he scared them, and it sounds like they needed it.

My Dad did something like this once, except he didn't actually fire the shotgun. He got off.

He shoot one of the idiots in the arm Angie, i hated guns but i became a gun owner also after i have been robbed while in the house sleeping, my daughter and wife wore traumatized by that event, but running to get my guns to stop some kids stealing signs is not a reason for me to get my shotgun!

In a neighborhood like that you have to though, or else they come back for the car next time.

Was he really supposed to just sit on the porch and watch them?

Shooting the kid in the arm is probably overkill - just waving the gun or shooting in the air would have been enough, but property is property and thugs are thugs.
 
He shot at the SUV also braking its windows while the teens wore trying to get away. I personally think he was stupid for what he did and should suffer the consequences, it sets a bad example for other gun owners..

you don't hang black people man! that's political suicide!
 
While people have the right to protect their property, shooting someone over a sign is just overkill and bad judgment. There's a huge difference between shooting someone who's breaking and entering and shooting someone who is taking a 10 dollar sign, when you can just write down their license plate number and/or scare them off with a baseball bat. Either that or just start shooting holes into the frame of their pretty SUV instead. ;)
EDIT: Ah, I see he did that anyway.

It's none of our business if the owner decided to execute them. What part of staying out of the internal affairs of others do you not understand?
 
No one deserves to be shot for damaging a freaking campaign sign. Be realistic.

Now if these kids were either
  1. Attempting to enter the landowners house
  2. Acting in a manner that threatened the well being of the home owner or his family
Then using deadly force in self defense is warranted. But not for simply damaging a sign. Get real. Both parties should face criminal charges.

The landowner should have simply approached the trespassers with his weapon aimed at them and either detained them until the police arrived or told them to GTFO. There was no reason to discharge the weapon.

That's how people learn. Some people have to be made an example of.
