Elderly Woman Shoots 12-Year-Old Boy In South Shore - cbs2chicago.com (http://cbs2chicago.com/local/elderly.woman.shoots.2.1936778.html - broken link)
It's too bad she wasn't a better shot, you throw a brick into my family's home and your parents will be identifying you in a bag. A 12 year old who's old enough to throw bricks at someone is old enough to pay for their actions.
Earlier this year an 80 year old Chicago man shot and killed an intruder. Don't mess with these old timers. I don't condone shooting kids, but this kid sounds like a SOB. If she was going to shoot anyone, she probably should have shot the kid's so called parents. 10 bucks says that they are on drugs and haven't worked in 10 years, maybe their entire lives.
Grandmother of bad kid makes this response: "He and his friend were walking down the street, and they saw a window broken at a woman's house, and as they passed by, they said she came out shooting," said the boy's grandmother, Donna Virges.
