Seriously? Need the sad/mad/disappointed/disgusted emoji. Guess that one doesn’t exist.

Special kind of stupid once again casts all gun owners in a negative light.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Regardless of the mistaken identity, I am not sure you could get away with chasing and firing shots at someone driving away with your vehicle. Probably depends a lot on the prosecutor, your lawyer, and the jury you may get.Rutherford's attorney, Winston Connor II says, "Tony and his family are very sorry by the loss of their child and time will reveal the circumstances surrounding this unfortunate incident which does not constitute a crime"
Beyond that, just tragic circumstances and decision making.

Re: OK: Man kills 13 year old he thinks is stealing truck
from my understanding you can. If someone is stealing your property you can try to recover it by any means necessary. with that in mind tho dont go shootign someone who's stealing your $500 lawn mower. lawyer fees will probably be upward of $10k. id rather just cut my losses on the lawn mower.MechAg94 wrote: Regardless of the mistaken identity, I am not sure you could get away with chasing and firing shots at someone driving away with your vehicle.

Oklahoma law on the use of deadly force will govern this case.
Lots of questions too---what is the 13 year-old doing out driving his brother's pickup at night? A joy ride? Sounds like it. A terrible tragedy.

I just reinforced the “know what your shooting at” and “what’s behind your target” lesson. I hope at least that is learned by others in this HORRIFIC incident

A failure to communicate, maybe?
