OP is making jokes in their summary, but this is serious, a kids fucking dead.
And this isn’t pranking and getting consequences. They were walking into a store to return one, and some fucking asshat attacked and killed one of them
Myers saw three teens approach the Big 5 Sporting Goods store with what he thought were handguns and believed they were going to rob the store, according to the affidavit. He further stated that he felt he did not have time to call 911 and that he “had a duty to act to stop the individuals from hurting someone innocent, and to protect his son,” per the court filing.
Myers, who was armed with a registered semiautomatic pistol, told police he approached the teens with his gun out and told them to put their hands in the air, but no one complied, the police affidavit said. He then fired multiple rounds at the victim because he thought the teen was reaching into the waistband of his pants for what Myers believed was a gun and that the teen “was going to kill him,” according to the filing.
The account really reads like he lept to using his gun as a first resort instead of the last. When all you have is a hammer…
Also, in a country filled with those who pride themselves on the right to own guns and on their actual ownership of guns I’m still surprised that people view other people having guns as a justification to kill them.
Police kill someone in a routine traffic stop? It’s okay, he had a gun.
Random citizen kills another random citizen?
It’s okay, he had a gun.

So, this guy had a gun on him, and saw someone else with a gun… And thought person with a gun, danger!?
What an asshole.
I wonder why the guy thought the kid was going to rob the place? Oh…he was brown.
Also, said person was going into the gun store with a gun 🤡

The Rambo fantasy kills another innocent kid.
And also, very likely, traumatized multiple others who just witnessed a couple of teenagers get shot and killed.
Well yeah, he’s not a cop. He’s a random lunatic with a gun.
I mean, cops also seem to just be random lunatics with a gun, and handed a badge.
