I hope this boy completely recovers from this unnecessary event.
It's truly sad that innocent people are getting hurt or even killed.
I don't understand what this world has become.
We're all human and we all deserve to live in a safe environment.
Please rethink your actions before you decide to hurt others.
It's an 85 year old man that made a stupid decision because he was scared and he had a gun it's not racially motivated everything's not about race and gender and bigotry all the time can't a dummy just make a mistake the stupid old man should have said I have a gun go away I'm calling 911 and then he should have immediately called 911 not shoot through a door
protests? nah riots right around the corner.
Whaaaat! If someone rings your doorbell you cant shoot them through the door..why do you have a Door bell? The person should be jailed immediately!! Are you kidding
HIs story receives national coverage. Kaylin Gillis' will not.
Many tears go my white sin and his friend of African descent went to the park to play. Unknown to anyone a white man and member of some racist organization has been released from prison. He and a group of white teens spotted the two of them, attacked my son and began stomping him. My son’s friend went house to house trying to get help. Not one person the door to this child. The man was arrested (both for the assault on my son and attempting to burn down his girlfriend’s house with her in it a few days after the assault on my son). At the time I was enraged…after this latest tragedy I’m glad no one answered. My heart breaks over this latest, senseless attack.
Released? Why?
Not even law enforcement knows what happened. Witness statements have yet to be released. All of you virtue signaling, race baiting hypocrites need patience.
May the Raf of God fall upon whoever that did this to this innocent child,and also the ones who still accept black as nothing.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Another brother choosing crime.
Liars
Oh let me guess he was looking threatening right? Smh i wonder how the white people are going to down play and make fun of this story theyll type sarcasticly " oh he was a good kid " well thats exactly what he is and was shot for what ?? Ill wait…….
Gillis was shot because she was to
Republicans & Fox News spread hate, fear, violence and lies to American people.
They manipulate American people to get their support.
Yeah… its either someone who shouldn't be owning a gun, or someone with prejudice who shot the kid. I'm guessing it was a combination of both. Even a racist would think twice before immediately shooting someone for ringing a doorbell.
WHEN will America wake up to the second amendment being the cause of ALL these shootings?
I live in England, we don't have the right to own guns, a gun licence is hard to get, we don't have anywhere near the gun crime problems you have, even our police don't carry! WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
Where's the whole story
I assume that if the victim had been a white 16 years old and the shooter a black old man, he would have been thrown into jail immediately and there would be several people publicly demanding the death penalty like trump did to the 5 black boys in NY.
For knocking on the door hell no that is not a clean shoot at all and I am from FLA y'all. Shooter should absolutely be charged with murder 2
How Many home invasions targetting old people in that area I wonder. ?Could be a LOT more going on here than we know.
THAT BABY IS DEAD. THE IS OUR BABY BLACK PEOPLE!
How come protesters didn’t come out for Madeline Brame when her son was brutally murdered and her husband almost murdered? Where were the protests there? Right. Black lives only matter when they fit the description of the slave owners (Democrats). The protesters only get upset if a white person shoots an innocent black person. The only reason this guy shot a black kid was because the news is intentionally dividing us by color. This is what Democrats want. If these “protesters” cared about black lives they’d be angry with Biden and his media for purposely dividing us. Educate yourselves.
The lil bastard knew that was the wrong house. Probably tried to steal something.
Very sad story all around. The person who shot that 16 year old is the reason why I hate people.
ACTIVIST = OPPORTUNIST
Because 13% of the population commit over 60% of the VIOLENT crime, whites can no longer trust black American. Because blacks are inherently violent, this is going to happen more often. You think they are coming to knock on your door but really it's a joke invasion. 💯 Whites should have a place to live where minority don't 💯
If only people marched for us whites. What about those three white kids murdered by those blacks in Florida? Nobody bats an eye.
Let me guess, the shooter is White? A Trump supporter? Belongs to NRA? White Supremist? Evangelical?
WHEN IS GUN VIOLENCE ENOUGH? When will RACISM be cleansed out of Americans DNA? The boy just rang at the door!!! My God how vile can it get in America before LAWS are put in place to protect People and not Guns!!!
So many bots and mind-gamers on the comment space. Nonsensical stand on gun violence of the bigots and racists being served on this space. Admit that this is a devilish crime on a 16-year old, pacifists.
~Seema
Total BS report? His alibi about picking up kids at a wrong address was made up from a prison cell by life long convicts? He has a criminal rap sheet? Was he driving that stolen car? With a stolen gun? This bs'er is not a choir boy?
If you are listening lock him up…if he were black he would’ve been in jail and not allowed to ever go home…LOCK HIM UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My god
You wouldn't be hearing about this if it was a black man who shot a black kid.
It’s good to hear he is still alive. Another young person (white woman) was shot in rural upstate NY (by a white man) very recently when her friend pulled into the wrong driveway.
A HATE CRIME IS A HATE CRIME IS A HATE CRIME IS A HATE CRIME!!
BLACK LIVES MATTER!!!
I have said that weapons can change a good person in an instant, let alone a bad person, and now America is getting crazier. eating is a weapon
Protesting what? It was a stupid crazy white man who shot a kid…
Doesn't take a genius to figure out this old fart is a racist bigot like most from his time. Stop defending racism for any reason whatsoever. NO, there isn't more to the story. NO, Ralph didn't attempt to rob or break in. NO, it's not a 16 year olds fault for going to the wrong house. NO, he wasn't high or drunk!!!! Racism is fucking simple. STOP DEFENDING IT AND GET RID OF THESE PATHETIC COWARDS
Watching from the Uk 🇬🇧
Gods own country indeed
However
I saw both black and white folks matching in sync, so kudos to them 😊
Glad he survived against all drastic odds
Watch out for anyone TRYING to justify this. Blatant racism period! Just look at what some of the neighbors said/did to help. This 85 year old can finish his life in prison
Not surprised. People are being conditioned to be fearful.
That is America for you
It’s quite clear that too many American gun owners/family members should NEVER be allowed to have a gun in the house.
They are gun happy and pull the trigger at every perceived challenge.
I wonder if they'll be allowed to talk about this in Florida schools.
