I read about that yesterday… he was released because they couldn’t get a victim statement or something to that effect. Meanwhile they couldn’t get a statement because the kid had been shot in the f’ing head. Nice to hear he’s since been charged.brianlux said:Merkin Baller said:If it’s not the guns, or the gun culture, then what the fuck is it?Regarding the Ralph Yarl shooting, NT Times reported:"The homeowner who shot him [Ralph Yarl], Andrew D.
