Not any more pathetic than the hypotheticals you post.

Wonder what people of the forum would be writing about if the headline story would have been:

"Twelve Year Old Girl Shoots Self Trying To Protect Herself From Burgler" ??

Would Everyone be sayin', why didn't the parents have that gun locked away somewhere??

A 12 year old who is scared for her life and has the power to protect herself is good . Her family clearly taught her what do . Get the gun go to the closet Stay there until the intruder leaves or becomes a threat. She did not hunt down this intruder , the intruder came after her, she chose to protect herself . Good for her she ia alive and not touched

According to the article she shot through the door when the handle was turned. It could have been a cop and she could have shot him in the head or heart and killed him/her.

Yea, teach 'em young to shoot people when they try to take your 'stuff'!

A child with a gun is not about property protection.
Well we all know what propaganda means. It's been rearing it's ugly head for my whole life time. This little girl saved herself. Anyone who can find fault with that is themselves suspect imo

This was worth repeating....This guy escalated from breaking and entering/burglary when he hunted her down....to I don't even want to imagine.....thank goodness she protected herself and by doing so saving who knows how many other little girls in the process....

My liberal friend said that the girl used excessive force. Maybe she should have tried to hold his hand and sing Kumbaya.
There is no such thing as excessive force if someone has broken in to your home....it's not like he stopped by to borrow a cup of sugar but didn't want to wake you up. He knew what he was doing and what his intentions were and deserves a bullet to the head.

To all people, who have sh.t in place of a grey matter: the absolutely best way for this girl to protect herself would be to run outside! A gun may not protect (it may even put in a much greater danger) an adult man, let alone a little girl.
What another ignorant leftist comment....why should she leave her house? Sorry, no person is open to come into my house "Just because."

Under what law? WHen would you start leaving your child alone? Or are you one for keeping your child in the basement unti lthey are 26?

Good for the little girl! Next time, don't leave a witness...

Where did you get the idea he hunted her down? He probably didn't know anyone was in the house. He probably opened the closet door to see if there was anything worth stealing. So you've decided he's probably a rapist/pedophile/murderer and not just a burglar because he opened a closet which happened to have a 12 year old in it?

The American way. Kill now, ask questions later.
