they can call it "murder" if they like but there's a difference between murder and protecting one's property.

@ Babyarm...I have to agree with you. I don't believe his life needed to be taken, and my prayers go to the friends and family for the boy. When anyone steals and is caught, 1st instinct is to whoop them. Thats a natural human instinct. There is no exuse for taking his life. the man could have followed him while calling the police. the bad thing is no one won and everyone lost over a stupid minor theft. He wasn't robbed at gunpoint, the kid should have been in school. Kids I hope you all take heed to this situation and think about the consequences of your actions.

Dont try and make this Child a hero because he was a thief and had he been in school this would not have happened. You dont steal other peoples property that They WORK FOR !!!! I am so sorry that he was killed but when you rob someone or go into their house you take the chance of being killed.
