South Carolina Boy Shot, Killed While Trick-or-Treating

[Donald Aquilano]

Nothing surprises me anymore. The suspect Quentin Patrick didn't reveal why he killed the boy and injured his brother and father. I suspect its either mental illness or he doesn't like Halloween or both.

Here's the article......

Scary. there was a story the other day how a man punched a woman and broke her nose because she scared him.

BTW - she was working in a haunted house when he punched her.

I find this statement rather funny. I doubt if anyone would commit murder because they 'don't like Halloween'.

Coming from Fox news I assume they have left out some important details to make this seem like an anti-Halloween crime. I bet it didn't even happen on Halloween! lol

I believe it was a known gang member's house. At any rate, the story still makes me sick.

So sad that our children can barely enjoy anything anymore.

The shooter claims he thought it was a robber.

Bogus.

Halloween night, a group of people approaching your house, and you think it is a robber.

Of course, a good defense attorney is likely to get him off.

He was definitely expecting someone else or do people today answer their doors with a shower of bullets from an assault rifle?

"I thought I was being robbed" IMO is complete BS. He was in trouble before the kids came to his door.

a convicted felon fearing a robbery fired nearly 30 rounds with an assault rifle from inside a house.

1. a convicted felon
2. assault rifle
3. good ol' USA

So this thing about regulating gun ownership still seems like a bad idea, right?
