And about the story - i heard about it this morning on the radio, just terrible. There's no justification for this sort of behavior from an adult. He could have just yelled at the kid - scared him a little bit. I mean, I can understand the anger but shooting the kid in the head is absurd.

Come on man, this is a kid we are talking about. This is what kids do. Grown ups are the ones supposed to keep their composure in a situation like that.

This article is sad but so are the dispassionate comments, racist, and bigoted too no less. I hope that kid survives this ridiculous act of lunacy and the guy is caught. I think most feel that way, just different ways to express it I guess.

Don't bring a gun to a snowball fight.

Sad that things like that "person" still exist in what might otherwise be called, by some, a "civilized" society.

We don't fear natural predators anymore. In such an environment, which would be utopian to many other species, we decide to kill each other. Oh what fun beings we truly are.

We're talking about a kid who died for throwing a snowball, do you think it's funny?

Grow the fuck up.

Article said he was an adult.

Which could mean he was 18.

Also it said that the kids would taunt people as they walked by. Wouldn't surprise me if the snowball wasn't an accident at all.

Accident or not the response was totally out of line (I shouldn't even have to say this).

I MIGHT be sympathetic if an adult punched a 16 year old who hit him with a snowball. Might. Heat of the moment, etc. Still needs to be punished but I might have some level of sympathy because who wouldn't be a little pissed if some little brat hit you in the face?

Leaving and getting a gun is absolutely indefensible.

Well of course the response was out of line. I could see a good punch in the face though for sure.

16 = youth, no legal representation excpet for parent or guardian, unless legally emancipated from the same.

18 = adult. From what I read, this is attempted homicide with a gun. Gun is likely to be unregistered as well. Wow. Even if the adult is just 18, this person is looking at what...15 to 30 years in the pen? That is if they don't already have that "third strike" or something else on their sheet.

It used to be news when some dumbass kid would go too far in a snowball fight by putting a rock or ice in a snowball. Just frikken sad.
