In my opinion, black parents should probably teach their kids to ask for help in public places such as stores, gas stations or businesses rather than knocking on random people’s doors. I am in no way condoning blasting at anyone on sight but personally I don’t care for uninvited visitors and automatically go on high alert if someone violates my space without invitation, especially if I don’t know you. It’s nothing personal it’s just that the sign of the times that we live in.

The man who shot at the child claims he had been a victim of burglary multiple times and assumed that the kid was there to “victimize” him again. The sad part is, he might get away with that defense.

Thankfully the kid was not hurt.
