This black teen boy went to pick up his sibling but accidentally went to the wrong house, the owner of the home shot the kid in the head, then shot him again once he was down.
The neighbors won't speak, they "take care of each other"

Here is a little more context from the boy's aunt.

(36,614 posts)I am so fucking sick of this shit. Not just the shootings but the way their reported.
My heart goes out to the boy's family. I can't even imagine how they're feeling. I would have so much rage.

(95,275 posts)People who insist on their 'right' to a gun, and keep guns about, who carry guns around, do so because they hope for a chance to shoot someone. Indeed, hope is not a strong enough word, they dream of shooting someone, spend periods each day imagining they actually are shooting someone. The usual run of 'gun rights' types will deny this of course, but all that means is that they lie, either to themselves or to others, or both.

(4,741 posts)Yes, they do indeed hope for the chance to shoot someone...but preferably a brown someone. That's what it's really about.
We all know that murderer wouldn't have shot any white people who came to the door by mistake.

The second bullet was to make sure?
