All charges he's been charged with make sense. He should go away for a long, long time.
Except maybe the terrorism charge. What?

The teens should be charged as well, though.

yeah i didn't understand that either

but i guess that's just how arkansas decided to name the statute.

§ 5-13-310 - Terroristic act. :: 2010 Arkansas Code :: US Codes and Statutes :: US Law :: Justia
(a) A person commits a terroristic act if, while not in the commission of a lawful act, the person:

(1) Shoots at or in any manner projects an object at a conveyance which is being operated or which is occupied by another person with the purpose to cause injury to another person or damage to property; or

which, if i'm understanding this correctly, carries a mandatory minimum of 10 years in a situation where you kill someone.

Agreed. Why aren't the remaining teens charged?

Apparently this prank was in reaction for Noble's son pranking them. Noble btw is black and so is the victim. If this was Texas Nobel would not be charged with a crime, because you can kill people on your property after dark if they are engaged in criminal mischief.

Wait till the other teens are charged with murder, since they were all part of the vandalism that got their friend killed.

Not saying the shooter was right, he wasn't and deserves prison.

Adrian Broadway, Teen, Allegedly Gunned Down By Willie Noble Over Egging Prank

From the article:
At approximately 1 a.m., a group of seven teenagers reportedly threw eggs, mayonnaise, toilet paper and leaves at Noble's car, according to FOX 16.

An irate Noble is accused of storming out from his house and firing shots. Police said the teenagers fled the scene in a car, but not before the suspect riddled the vehicle with bullets and shot Adrian Broadway, pictured below, in the head.
Every time I see an incident like this, I wonder what the crime rate is, and whether a high crime rate might be a factor into how aggressively the gun owner reacted.
