    As the intruder walked down the stairs, “he told me he was going to kill me, f-you and all that,” Chris said.

    The final shot hit the man in the leg as he was hopping the fence, the boy said.

    The man was taken to a local hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.

    Context is everything and you don’t have any. I’d be mocking the meth head who tried to kill 11 year old me as well. This kid is a hero.

      Wait the kid shot the man as he was trying to hop a fence and run away? Again, this is the behavior of actual psychopaths.

      Context doesn’t help - laughing at someone you shot is extremely disturbing behavior. 10x so for a child.

      The correct response is fear/adrenaline/panic or something to that effect.

        Can you tell me more about how context isn’t important in this circumstance?

        The child told news reporter this after the event occurred. We don’t even know whether or not he laughed like, “heh wow that was scary”. Or maniacally like the Joker.
