Crime Play stupid games?

[MrShady]

What do you guys think? Did the teens have it coming? Did the homeowner overreact?

Are the charges justified?

We may need to wait for more details to emerge on how quickly the homeowner opened fire but it doesn't sit right with me that they arrest and charge him because they probably know he couldn't afford a real lawyer, so they'll get a easy guilty plea deal out of him.

I've heard of cases where homeowners come out blasting for someone simply on their property (the doordasher who came to the wrong address), but to be an idiot who plays pranks at someone's house at 3am is asking to be killed imo.

If all they did was ring a doorbell, then of course he overreacted.

Manslaughter at best

Not enough details to say. We need to know what those kids were really doing there at 3 am, and where was the home owner when he engaged the teens? Did he just walk out and start blasting?

Yeah, there is just not enough information at this point.
If it was a "standard" 3D type of prank, then he needs to be arrested at the very least for manslaughter. Imo. By standard I mean just ring the front door's bell and running off. NOT lingering near entrances and windows. That would set my spidey sense off too. Not enough to come out guns blazing though.

I believe they kicked in the backdoor at 3am.

Just started it, but if they were kicking his back door at 3am, then yeah, I cannot blame someone for acting as cautious as they feel they need in their home. Don't know what is the truth here though. Shame all around.

Edit. Cell phone footage showing otherwise? Would want to see that. I'll just say IDK until I finish the video lol

Case will get thrown out. White kid kicks down black homeowners door.........

That said, i would do the same if someone kicked or was trying to kick my door down at 3am in the morning. Also Looks like that state has a stand your ground law.

That's about what I figured when I saw it was at 3 am, but I didn't want to assume.

If thats the case, then they should have mentioned that in the video. That changes everything

I wouldn't be surprised if they charged him because they found out he couldn't afford a real lawyer, and those kids' parents are somebodies.

That's the direction I'm leaning. The homeowner shot through the door once he heard them trying to kick in tbe backdoor, from what I'm reading. I could be wrong but this situation all around sucks for both parties.

 

[MrShady]

Here's an example of a similar case but where the homeowner is absolutely in the wrong no question about it and should be charged to the fullest degree.

Your video has them saying there is cell footage, and after prosecutor saw it, they decided on murder 2 or whatever. We would want to see that footage or have some description that is fact-checked.

Overreaction? Sure, but I’m not gonna shed any tears for douchebag Tik Tok influencers playing pranks on people for clout.

Yeah, if there is cell footage that they ran up to the door and immediatley were shot at without even kicking the door, then thats an open and shut case.

Then you probably found this as satisfying as I did.

At 3am I doubt the homeowner was awake and ready to shoot at people walking up to his door.

One of Butler's neighbors who spoke with FOX 5 said his home surveillance system captured video of three teens coming up to his house not long before the shooting. The video showed the teens banging, kicking and slamming on the neighbor's garage door — not just ringing the doorbell.
