Let me just play devil's advocate for a second here. Kid is walking through a strange area and spotted by neighbourhood watch man, he thinks the guy (let's be realistic, not all 17 year olds are like children) is acting suspicious for whatever reason. He confronts this strange person going through his neighbourhood as to his purpose of being there and is met by verbal abuse and attitude.
This escalates into threatening behaviour and the 17 year old makes neighbourhood watch man think he's going to be attacked. Shit happens and the boy gets shot.
Yes, this situation sounds bullshit, but the article is very biased and there is always 2 sides to a story. I am not justifying his actions of shooting someone but just putting the idea across that it wasn't just some young boy minding his own business when a shot rings out from across the street and kills him.
