Georgia woman shoots 15-year-old boy walking by her house - NY Daily News

Quote:
"I have some really good black neighbors, but the good blacks won't get onto the bad blacks," she told the Macon Telegraph in an interview about the small city, which is some 80 miles south of Atlanta. "You try not to profile but at the same time 99.9% of the crime is going to be, most often, a black male."

Except for this time. In this case, it looks like the criminal is a white woman.

What I really don't understand is how she gets a $12,000 bond for attempted murder. Isn't it usually something like $500,000?

Not for "walking past her house.". They were throwing rocks at her. They regularly harass and throw rocks at her and damage her car and house. Cops told the kids to stay away but they kept coming back.

"The barrage of big rocks started, not just at my car and house, but me. I started shooting in their direction. They started running."

Nope, you don't get to shoot people for throwing rocks. You, Jane Citizen are not judge, jury and executioner. This is why we have a court system.

Should have shot them with video camera instead.

A rock in the head can easily kill. I think that this shooting was justified.

This is the cultural rot I was talking about. Long ago these kids should have been disciplined.

If they had rocks in hand or about to pick one up, the shooting is totally justified. A rock can kill and a person can easily lose an eye.

Would you personally like to have a rock hitting your head or eye?
