That is funny!

I agree that the girls shouldn't have been roaming around the house. But again I ask...what crazy things did you do when you were young and you felt immortal? Sometimes I'm amazed I survived, and I was a fairly good kid. Do you feel you did anything that you deserved to get shot over?

The fact that the guy's defense was continued persecution by evil teenagers, but failing to ever, not even once, report the activity to authorities, negates any credibility that he felt threatened enough to fire at will (or whatever her name was.)

Yep, wacko alright!

Everyone in this thread has said that the guy shouldn't have shot at the girls.

Everyone who has weighed in on the girls' actions, including you, has said that the girls were wrong to be there that night.

We are all in agreement.

He said he and his mother didn’t notify police of the ongoing harassment because of their poor relationship with the city.
This statement is the tip of an iceberg, with red flags on top.

I'm not arguing, I'm reiterating. Clarifying, if you will. Sorry if it took .000254 off the lifespan of your eyeballs.
