"Family and friends gathered at a Little Rock church on Saturday to mourn the loss of the 15-year-old Arkansas teen fatally shot over a prank.
The funeral for Adrian DeeJay Broadway comes on the heels of a high school celebration where the popular young cheerleader would have sat on the homecoming court.
Broadway was shot in the head on Feb. 15 by 48-year-old Willie Noble after she and her friends covered his car with toilet paper, eggs, mayonnaise and leaves, Little Rock Police said."

I just can't feel sorry for this person (and I've played plenty of pranks).
Don't want trouble...don't look for it.
Trouble will try to find you anyway, but don't complain when something turns out badly when you were involved in something that disrespects someone (s' life, religion, sexuality, drug use, gender, home, beliefs, etc. , - whatever the key word is for so-called victims of oppression today).
If you decide to play a prank, be prepared for someone to go ballistic. Duh.
Is it right for someone to go ballistic over a "simple" prank? Maybe not, but don't go crying (or have your family go crying) when you make a decision to do something that devalues someone else. you've put yourself in a position to be a victim.

To kill someone for egging your car should be punishable by death.

Or life in prison without chance of release.

Were you ever fatally shot?

No, but he did obviously suffer serious brain damage.

Agreed.
If you egg someones car and get killed, I'm not going to shed a tear, either.

A prank that could have been fixed by a car wash =/= death. I feel sorry for her.

"
Maybe not?" This is a "definitely not" situation.

Jesse and Al won't care because Willie Noble is black. Black on black crime is "meh..." to the Sharptons of the world. All I want to know is why are these kids essentially vandalizing somebody else's property? Nobody is mentioning that that itself is a crime. I guess "kids will be kids".

My guess is they won't seek the death penalty. It was not premeditated. Kind of a spur of the moment reaction thing. Also I think the fact that both the shooter and victim are Black is a factor. Shouldn't be but I think it is because there will be no political pressure such as there would be if the shooter was White.
Otherwise I'm with the Clucker in not feeling sorry for the victim. No we can't allow people to shoot people for pranks like that but at the same time someone who does something like that is a prick and I have no sympathy for them if their prickness gets them killed.
I never participated in stuff like that when I was in high school and I thought the same thing then. People who do stuff like that are pricks. Jerks. Whatever term you want to use.
Only way I'd feel sorry for her is if it comes out that she just happened to be along with some pricks who wanted to do something like that. She didn't want to but had no place to go and was just in the car. That sort of thing. But then again she'd have been hanging around with pricks and she should've known better.

This reminds me of a Chris Rock skit I heard once about a guy who killed his wife.
He said he couldn't condone it. But he understands.
I can't condone shooting someone who destroyed your car. But I understand.

Noble told police he fired shots in the direction of the teens in an effort to scare them but wasn’t looking to strike any of the pranksters, authorities said. He is being held on a $500,000 bond at Pulaski County Jail and charged with first-degree murder, one count of a terroristic act and five counts of aggravated assault, according to jail records.
Um, what?

Exactly. I can't condone it. But I understand. I can totally understand becoming enraged over some punk smart-ass kids messing with your property, getting pissed off about it, and killing them.
I understand that the society can't allow that sort of thing. But if I have sympathy for anybody in this case it's the poor guy who's going to at the least go to prison for most if not all of the rest of his life when he was just minding his own business, some punk kids messed with him, and he lost it. He didn't ask for the situation. They inflicted it on him. And he snapped. So now his life will never be the same.
Snot nosed punk kids running around messing with other people and thinking it's funny. Well it's not funny. Pricks.

Wow ...just wow. Compassion for the "just snapped and killed somebody argument, versus the victim. Do you think the kid deserved it?

You're a strange individual John and not in a good way. You should have played with other children when you were young.

John is okay with fucking them or shooting them, as long as they have eggs.

15 year olds who run around and mess with other people are snot nosed punks.
48 year olds who shoot snot nosed punks are pricks.
It's okay to shoot someone if you fear for your life, it's not okay to shoot someone because you fear for your cars finish.
Teenagers do lots of stupid things, they don't deserve to be shot every time they cross the line.

I agree with very little of what JSO writes but he is dead fucking on with this.
It shouldn't be a factor but it will be a HUGE factor in it.
Had the shooter been white this would be on the news 24/7 with riots, just for *insert name* shirts, etc...

Should have made them mow lawns or better yet buck hay all summer to pay for a new paint job. And if you really want to hurt them make them listen to advice.
