It’s Open Season on 10 Year Olds

No Place But Texas. Literally.

You can thank your republican leadership for creating this open season on human beings. How incredibly stupid can you be to pull out a gun after someone rings your door bell, chase the ding-dongers down the street, and then shoot them in the back multiple times. That’s what happened in Houston this weekend. From CNN:

As the boy ran from a house on Racine Street just before 11 p.m., someone chased after him and shot him in the back, according to KHOU.

The boy died. The shooter wasn’t protecting his property from a 10 year old. He wasn’t defending himself from the loud noise of a door bell. He wasn’t even sitting in his lounge chair holding his gun waiting for an excuse to use it. Instead he had to make a decision to arm himself after someone randomly his door bell at 11 PM. Is ding-donging annoying? Of course it is and the kid should be taught a lesson but to chase him down, shoot him multiple times in the back, and kill him? That is fucking criminal. Literally.

So far the shooter has been questioned and released. Who knows? Maybe the kid had an AR 15 while ding-donging. Maybe he was waving his arms in a threatening manner as he was running away. Maybe he had a vicious dog with him. Maybe he was running away with a neighbors TV.

Or maybe he was just a 10 year old pulling a prank. Way to go Texas.
