A 20-year-old woman was shot and killed Saturday after she and three others accidentally turned into the wrong driveway while looking for a friend’s house in rural upstate New York, authorities said

:agony: :agony:

The shooting happened just days after a Black teenager in Kansas City was shot twice by a White homeowner after going to the wrong address to pick up his siblings. No words were exchanged before Andrew Lester opened fire on 16-year-old Ralph Yarl as the teen stood at Lester’s front door, according to a probable cause document obtained by CNN. Lester, who told police he thought the teen was trying to break in, faces two felony charges in the case, which has reignited the debate over so-called “stand your ground” laws.

Truly wack-ass, goddamn awful country where "shoot first, ask questions later" is taken as ethos

    how anyone could just open fire on a random car pulling into their driveway or some person standing on their front porch is beyond me

    that's exactly it, these demons want to live out their revenge/punisher fantasies and just sit praying for a sliver of a pretext to pop some caps

      This 100%. When that kid rang the doorbell, the dude saw it as an opportunity and knew he wouldn't be held accountable thanks to shit bags like Zimmerman and Rittenhouse.
