Normal?
Youy don't screw with people's property. period. Especially these days with elevated crime.
Why am I not surprised.
Only jackasses like to annoy others thinking its funny.
So you feel the child deserved to be murdered? As someone with zero phantom injuries or fear of the world, I just can't relate to that philosophy.
No, I do not. But they were stupid to put themselves into a dangerous situation.
Then stop there. Ringing a doorbell shouldn't be a "dangerous situation". You folks freak out at cities and people simply ringing your doorbell. It sounds to me like you think every scenario calls for a weapon because life is too intense for you.
No they dont
No they dont
No you havent
They??? You mean one guy who you know nothing about. You just assume he is a Fox News watcher because that fits the BS narrative you want to push.

I banned it from my house because when my elderly family members moved in here it’s what they used to watch.
perhaps if you disagree you should consider shutting off the tv.
What the data says about gun deaths in the U.S.
While the number of gun deaths in the U.S. fell for the second consecutive year in 2023, it remained among the highest annual totals on record.
Nope.
You think it's reasonable to murder a child. Yup, you folks.

These things are as American as apple pie and have been going on as long as suburbs and kids have existed
Wrong, as usual.
Others grew up to teach their kid - and the entire internet - to use the leaf blower to REALLY get that TP up into the tree
So, whats the number?
Still off topic.The hunt continues. Every year harp seals are killed. the babies are supposedly spared but they're not, with evidence to the contrary.
Seal Slaughter Starts in Canada Just Weeks After Mothers Give Birth
The Government of Canada says it ensures the harvesting of seals is humane by implementing a strictly enforced kill method. Harvesters must shoot or strike the seal on the top of the head with a gun, club or hakapik. They must then check if the skull has been crushed, meaning they know the seal is either dead or unconscious. The seal is bled via two axillary arteries for at least one minute before it is skinned.

The seal slaughter season on the Magdalen Islands in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence begins today, with the Canadian government announcing those with commercial and personal licenses can begin hunting in designated areas on March 17.
The Canadian seal hunt has taken place for hundreds of years, with early 17th-century settlers targeting harp seals in the region. Archaeological evidence also suggests indigenous people have hunted the species for about 4,000 years. The hunt has social, cultural and economic importance, although the latter appears to be in decline.
The hunt, which is considered one the biggest slaughters of marine mammals on the planet, is regulated by the Canadian government. Hunting levels peaked in the mid to early 2000s. In 2004, 366,000 seals were killed. Kill rates have plummeted in the last decade as demand for seal-related products falls. In 2019, 32,071 harp seals were slaughtered.
Sealing is divided into different areas. Around 30 percent of the seals killed as part of the annual harvest come from the Magdalen Islands, the Quebec North Shore and Western Newfoundland. The remaining 70 percent come from the 'Front,' which is east of Newfoundland.
The region being targeted from March 17 surrounds the Magdalen Islands, which is a harp seal nursery. Seals begin to gather around the islands around December, giving birth in late February and early March. Mothers feed their pups for around 15 days, at which point they leave the young to fend for themselves.
It has been illegal for hunters to kill seal pups, known as whitecoats, since 1987. Young seals lose their white fur by the time they are three or four weeks old.
The Government of Canada says it ensures the harvesting of seals is humane by implementing a strictly enforced kill method. Harvesters must shoot or strike the seal on the top of the head with a gun, club or hakapik. They must then check if the skull has been crushed, meaning they know the seal is either dead or unconscious. The seal is bled via two axillary arteries for at least one minute before it is skinned.
Animal rights groups have strongly opposed seal hunting for decades, calling on the Canadian government to put an end to the practice. Rebecca Aldworth, executive director of Humane Society International/Canada, told Newsweek the suffering of seal pups is "utterly heartbreaking."

It's seriously disgusting, Allan, so it's pretty hard for me to read the post of a Canadian all upset over US gun laws when your government issues licenses to be so abjectly cruel as to be monstrous. And it is very relevant to the topic because you and your cohorts seem to think that US violence is unique, whereas your virtue signaling falls quite short when taking in to account the violence in other countries, regardless of the weapon, the motive or who its directed at
Is it worse than when the conservative guy whining about this chips his nail polish cleaning it?
Kids do stupid things, news at 10.
It’s the fear. They’ve been fed a constant diet of fear and fauxrage via the media they consume.
You catch them and ground them. Make them pay a fine or restitution. You don’t shoot them in the back and kill them.
Who said it's dismissed? Who said the parents wouldn't have disciplined their children if the lunatic had reported him to the police or them? You're making leaps about this, and at its core you like the others desperately want to defend what he did. It couldn't be more obvious.
Parents need to properly teach their children. "Now boys, don't play ding dong ditch or our neighbors may decide to kill you, understand? Ok, go play nice."
And it needs to be said to the folks who insist guns play zero role in bad outcomes, just people. Holy shit no wonder our children are being slaughtered left and right.
