True shooting arrows is barbaric, but the stupid shit I've done in my life didn't have the risk of killing innocent people.

No it isn't appropriate, I was being a little too dramatic. The kid deserves sever punishment and so does the driver. | ||

I'm not saying it's not funny (because of how unexpected it is), but when people are seriously suggesting the kid deserved to get shot or when people applaud this guy, that's just really bad. They're trying to justify a cool action or have an entirely unrealistic sense of punishment. True shooting arrows is barbaric, but the stupid shit I've done in my life didn't have the risk of killing innocent people. Well that's fan-fucking-tastic that you never did anything seriously harmful, but the fact remains that this was a child who got shot by a fucking crossbow. I doubt he realized how serious his actions were, but seriously no one should be condoning this type of response. | ||

For someone to get a crossbow and know where the boy was and actually hit him with the crossbow makes me think this was a reoccurring incident. If he owned the car is that defense of property? No, because the act occurred after the act damaging property occurred, so unless the actor was under the belief that the boy was going to throw another rock at his car (unlikely, given the fact that cars travel pretty fast compared to the speed that a boy can run and/or throw a rock), defense of property is a laughable defense. Even if the actor was under the belief the boy was going to throw another rock at his car, shooting him with a deadly weapon is not an appropriate defense. Not a single US jurisdiction allows for the use of deadly force to protect property as defense to a criminal charge. | ||

I hope the guy makes a youtube video and dresses up as a masked robin hood "To vandals, all I have to say, is I'm watching and always ready!" Glad the kid didnt die. but im glad he learned his lesson in probably the COOLEST way i have ever heard about. the lesson he learned is that it's ok to use deadly force to protect your property against children like with most cases when adults are violent with children they aren't learning not to perform the behavior that caused the violent reaction but they are internalizing the idea that using violence is acceptable in the first place | ||

So, if I see someone speeding and am stopped at the same red light as them, I should be able to pull a gun, hop out of my car, and shoot them? "If they're going to endanger my life and the lives of other innocent people, they deserve to be shot in the stomach with a gun" That sound about right? I was being dramatic, get over it. The kid deserves sever punishment but obviously not getting shot. | ||

Judging by the majority of responses that actually sounds like a really bad idea haha. We would potentially end up with a bunch of dead children and a bunch of nerds in prison, nobody wants that. | ||

If you aren't serious about what you're saying, then don't say it in the first place, because it makes you look silly. Also, people aren't saying that the actions of the child aren't reprehensible, just that shooting him with a deadly and potentially lethal weapon is in no way a suitable response. | ||
