Something like this happened to me a few months back, some D-Bag kids rang our doorbell, and i opened the door to an egg flying at me. Had i had my car keys on me, i wouldve jumped in my car and chased them down. Punks like this deserve to get beaten.

Big high school football players? Probably the biggest I've ever heard of. At my highschool, being over 200lbs was big (unless you were a lineman -- and lineman can't run for crap)

Hard to believe actually... most high school kids don't have the willpower, the knowledge, or the access to steroids (monetary and distribution-wise) to get THAT big.

i think warning shots fired into the air wouldve been more justified and wouldve scared those kids off the streets for sure
Yes, but this loser has now served as an example for MANY kids, not just those kids so his 'example' will hopefully discourage many others.

I think we need a poll with multiple DIE and LIVE reasons.

I don't wanna promote homicide but those kids do at least deserve some serious beatdown.

I think it is poetic justice. Personally, I don't endorce murder, but I have no symapthy for either of them. I believe that your actions have consequences. Whether it is justified or appropriate, the actions of this teenager cost him his life. The actions of the trigger man will cost him his freedom and he should get life in prison. Sometimes if you do stupid things (Even if those stupid things seem like harmless pranks) it can have grave consequences. The lesson from this particular story is don't pull stupid pranks and throw things at cars. Even if you are bigger, stronger, smarter, you never know if the other person simply has the bigger gun. Don't put yourself into a situation where you might find out the hard way.

Wow, some of you guys in here are ruthless. NO ONE deserves to die from throwing eggs or anything else at a car. Especially a 14 year old child. He probably doesn't know any better or just had social problems or something.

You guys who think he deserved it are crazy and need to take a good look at themselves. I don't care how much your car cost or how much you cherish it. No one deserves to get shot for such petty ignorance.

I mean you're in a ****ing car is it so hard to grab the kid and take him to the police station or any other measure?

That's the thing... you can never tell who you're messing with these days.
I'm not saying the kid should die, but he should have known better. He made the decision to egg the cars; that's what life is all about; decisions & choices.

Hopefully, this will deter others from making similar poor choices.

Karma can be a ******!

What goes up must come down, especially bullets. With a warning shot, what if the stray bullet had come back down and killed an innocent person? I rather have the shooter cap the punk execution style, point blank range... At least that way the correct target is hit.

So there is something called terminal velocity....
So a bullet won't actually comedown as fast as it would go up. But then again...thast still pretty fast.
