Nothing about this story this isn't disgusting.

I bet he would support Trump...This is one disturbing human..FMJ.

I'd propose the overall end result isn't so bad. The kid stayed safe, the victim's home wasn't robbed, the bad guy got shot but sounds the injury was non life threatening. Now, the odds of that whole situation ending like it did versus something more tragic is pretty remote and an awful lot of bad things all came together and good fortune somehow still prevailed.

The result in and of itself may be satisfactory to some degree, but i'm more afraid it validates the incredible stupidity and irresponsibility leading up to it.

I listen to that child barely contain his pride and it really gives me chills.

What?!? The kid didn't start shooting until the robber was outside the home and running away...and he's NOT being charged with attempted murder? WTF?!?
You can't shoot someone who's fleeing in the back. Period. Even in Florida. By the time the kid started firing wildly into his neighborhood, missing with 11 the first shots, he had absolutely no legal right to be shooting at all. This wasn't a stand your ground or threatening intruder situation when he started shooting.
This kid needs to be prosecuted, as does his family for leaving loaded firearms where children can get them.
I agree with @Januari , this entire story is disgusting.

This.

There are definitely a lot of legal issues, the problem is the location. I can't be reasonably certain that a jury would convict the parents and the kid is a juvi at worst, again assuming you can get a judge in that area to convict.

I would suspect the worst damage that could be done would be for the thief to sue them in civil court for pain and suffering. That is something that might actually push through the system, given the lower standard needed for victory.

But yeah, the first things that went through my head when I watched this were:

A. What kind of family leaves a loaded 9mm laying around with an 11 year old in the house?
B. Shooting at a fleeing criminal is definitely a huge no-no in any state.
C. Where the hell did the other 11 rounds go? I mean, full metal jacket rounds fucking BOUNCE when they hit anything remotely hard. I've shot them before at an outdoor range and watched them hit the backing wrong and veer wide of the berm, I cringe at thinking where they were ricocheting with Billy the Kid popping them off like caps.
