Kids got what they deserve. Some have to learn the hard way that their actions are not appropriate. God knows the parents aren't doing their job.

WTF is wrong with these kids? why would anyone go around terrorizing elderly women? for giggles?

I can't say that I am happy that the poor woman was forced to shoot the kid but the kid brought it on himself IMHO.

Now that she has identified the kid, I think she should sue the parents for all past damages to her home. Unfortunately, mom and pop believe junior's lies.

Although you never like seeing this either: "She said she fired her gun in self-defense to try and scare the boys off. She said she did not intend to hit anyone"

From the article and neighbors' accounts it sounds like the kid deserved what he got, but you really never want someone to say they fired but did not intend to hit anyone. What did she intend to hit? Kid's lucky he didn't come across someone who actually was more skilled and meant to put him down.
