You have any idea what happens in a 15 year old brain? Idiocy, that's

what. Kid's brains are rewiring and their frontal cortex is missing.

The brain stem is in control, immediate gratification. Instead of

shooting him to death, perhaps he should have just taken him to the

local police and have him experience the reality of being in jail.



You assume the kid's only motive was to steal this woman's Ipod



I find it troubling that he is going into a neighbor's home wearing a

mask at 1 AM when he knows there is a woman in there alone.

And he came at his father with some sort of weapon, according to the article. Drugs?


What weapon, why would any kid approach his dad like that in the first
place... I would assume the kid knew his dad had a firearm...

My money is on pliers or a crescent wrench. He probably tried to
scare his father away so he could run away, not considering the fact
that his father might actually shoot.

15 year olds aren't known for their brilliant decision making skills.
