I think none of us were there so we don't know what actually happened.

But that doesn't stop many posters from speculating without facts.

Thanks for the prompt. I did find some facts:

 

"Findings

 

In this cross-sectional study of 1 110 421 firearm fatalities, all-intent firearm fatality rates declined to a low in 2004, then increased 45.5% by 2021.

Firearm homicides were highest among Black non-Hispanic males, and firearm suicide rates were highest among White non-Hispanic men ages 70 years and older."

 

The link:

The topic isn't about "all intent" firearm homicides.

Well, I think in a way, this story tops them all

Florida couple shot at after going to wrong house while delivering Instacart groceries

The owner of the house actually blocked these people with his truck and then shot holes in their car. And guess what, under Florida law he didn't commit a crime.

“(A detective) asked if we wanted to prosecute and we agreed to do that, but he said since they didn’t break any laws or do anything unlawful, they couldn’t do anything because we were on their property,” Ms D’arville told WTVJ."

The U.S. has gone mad.  Other western countries are on the same track.  Thank Mr Putin in Moscow, and his useful MAGA, ERG, shills who have taken over our governments.  Biden will have an uphill battle to get this genie back in the bottle, but the alternative is dismal.

Just to clarify, Ralph (the black teen) went to the guys home by mistake

By mistake? Hmm...

But hey, who never tried to enter the wrong home when coming back from a long and hard working day. Happens every day.

You could always read the details if you like but hey much easier to doubt the victims word than blame the shooter, who shot him twice just to make sure.

Nobody ever got an address wrong and went to the wrong house by mistake? Happens every day.

To be fair, If a large thuggish looking guy was trying my front door in an attempt to enter my home, I might shoot first and ask questions later as well. Especially if it were after dark and in a gang problem area of town.

 

Obviously that wouldn't be the case in a car park (cheerleaders), or a child knocking a ball into my garden.

5'8" and 140lbs mousy musician = "large thuggish looking guy"... Uhm OK. ????

Black guy was trying to open the door. 

No he was not.

Do you have some problem which makes you exclude the elderly white persons statement?

Yes, his grandson's statements.

It's not my responsibility to search for and post links to support YOUR claims.

Of course not, but you'd think you may want to do some to support your opinions...

Start eradicating the people that misuse inert items to kill someone.

Nice rant, except for the fact that govt sponsored killings (death penalties) do not reduce non govt sponsored killings (murders).
