Very sad story. You can only blame the liberal influence in our society that prevents young people from understanding that their actions have consequences.
Direct your hate elsewhere.

I think if you want to participate in the thread you should address the subject rather than launch an unprovoked personal attack.
As if I would care about the indignation of someone who just blamed the victim for his own death and invented a political affiliation out of thin air to abuse his horrible fate to score cheap points.

OP asked for my thoughts. I gave them.
We have a society in which generations of kids have been trained to be bailed out and excused regardless of their behavior.
I certainly did not blame the kid. Its hard to blame kids when they are used to act just about old way and any situation without consequence.
I blame liberlism because it is the cause of the deterioration of our society.
If you have a minor child who runs away, you can report them missing and if the police find them you might get a call to let you know they are okay, but the child does not have to come home, does not have to get on the phone to talk to you, and the police are not even allowed to tell you exactly where they are. But if they cause property damage their parents can be held responsible. Its nuts.
You can't even spank a child without being labelled an abuser.
So what is the conseqence? Stuff like this.
We can't judge the particulars of this case because we know nothing about it. The only thoughts we can have are generalized ones, and this is mine. This boy's death is the fruit of liberlism.

And it was a personal attack against liberals. So quit whining.

And mrcooper's posts are the fruit of ignorance, why does anyone get riled up by the guy at this point?
On this subject I want to know what the alleged silver object is and why in the world the idiot would lunge at his own dad with it.

Less riled up, more countertrolling.

Clearly, the OP made the issue political to start with. If you're going to attack MC for addressing the OP in political manner, you could all at least be consistent about it.

He could have been playing ninja and generally clowning around, unaware that his dad was armed. This is a tragedy any way you look at it.
He could have been addicted to opiates and was trying to break in to steal his aunt's pain pills.
Who knows.

@OP:
Until the facts are presented in court, I do not think that it is fair to make any kind of judgement on this matter. It is certainly a tragic set of circumstances, but as hard as it is for some of the individuals involved, the castle doctrine appears, on the surface, to have worked and protected one individual against violence from another. We don't know what was going through the boy's mind and we don't know the exact details of whether the father truly needed to protect himself with deadly force. We will find that out if and when he is charged with a crime. I don't think it is your place nor do you have any reasonable degree of credibility to make any claim that this is somehow a failure on the part of the law.

Where did I say it was a failure?

It is strongly implied with the title of your thread and your opening statement. Do you intend to deny it?
I intend to neither deny or confirm it. I report, you decide.

That is what I thought. Moral ambiguity is a sin, if there ever was one.
