Building codes require windows in every room. (Closets don't count as rooms)

For some odd reason that reminds me of a movie I saw in the 80's of a person tortured in a small room. I can't remember that name of the movie but it was very disturbing. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Are you so callous that you think a teen should be paralyzed for sneaking into his girlfriends room?  Give me a break and THINK.

And, we don't know what he was told ahead of time, do we?  So stop trying to justify it by making up circumstances (however idiotic) that you feel make it ok.

Thank you Talon.

You people are absolutely nuts.  There is a lot of the story we may not know, and that could change a lot of things, however, with what we have, a kid was in his girlfriends room, and is now paralyzed for life.  Anyone who applauds that is sick.

"Terroristic Act" was probably on the books long before Patriot Act.

It isn't freaking "Terroristic Act", it's ****ing "Terrorist Act" or "an act of terrorism".  Terroristic isn't even a freaking word and sounds ****ing retarded, like a moron that is halfway intelligent.

If it wasn't so sad it would be funny.  The Hate crime is because of the different races involved.  Guzman I think to be Hispanic and Reed, perhaps a good old boy.  Terrorist act comes from making terrorist threats, such as  “ I’m going to kill you , you mother Fing so and so”.

Now speaking as one that climbed into and made a made dash from a few second story bedrooms in my youth.  One of the first assumptions you always made was,  her Dad owned a gun.  Has he ever talked about going hunting?  Are the guns locked up or is the gun case open? Are they loaded? Is he loaded?  Has he ever driven around town with a dead deer tied across the hood?  The kids today just don't take the time learn.

But then back in my youth, they only shot at you with rocksalt.

Of course back in those days the youth didn't carry guns either.

Xargos forgets its not 1807 anymore...Girls have rights and young people messing around is not a crime.

If its legal, why not?  This kid was over 18, im suprised half the member of this board are'nt saying that this could have been avoided IF he was carrying a gun!

I think what Tango is alluding to, Cav, is...If the Dad thought he had a gun or not.

Plus, if some kid walks into your house with a gun stuck in his belt, what are you going to do?

But, not to let this get out of hand. I'd like to point out, once more, that we only have the general description of the incident from Law enforcement. It does not state anything other than the basic facts of what happened. We do not know what things might have been said, we can only postulate.

The kid was hispanic and 19. That is all we know about him at the moment.

Let's see what else we can find on the story before the Dad is guilty until proven innocent.

Gun ownership comes with need for responsibility and prudence.

There are alot of kids carrying guns that aren't doing it legal.

[Yeager]

Do any of the bush hating tinhatters here even have a clue about what law is being applied that resulted from the so called terrorism act in question?  The story itself made no reference to middle eastern muslim terrorists or 9/11 terror kneejerkers.  Im thinking local municipalities may have their own local laws regarding the use of terrorism against a victim in the commission of a violent crime.

Some people

Oh, he had a gun...that's what got him in trouble in the first place!

Had he kept his gun holstered and locked up in his gun safe then he wouldn't be paralyzed today.
