Yep! And that is the very most appropriate word for it. Senseless is another.
And the fact that the glass storm door was never opened, with latch locked, but yet he fired his .32 cal through the glass door, striking the youth in the head, and the kid fell to the ground, and the man then came outside and stood over the victim, and shot him again- Which is really even more disturbing and puzzling.
After the kid knocked at the door, the man answered the door, and the kid told him he was there to pick up his brothers, and the man just said, "Leave, and do not ever come back here again", then fired through the glass door and shot the kid in the head, from the inside of the locked door.
The kid came out of shock, and even though shot in the head, and arm, bleeding profusely, managed to go next door for help and knocked on that door, and someone on the inside told him to leave there as well, so he went to the next door, and a man came outside and told the kid to lay face down on the ground, and put his hands behind his back. Which he managed to do, as painful as that had to be. It was not said if that homeowner had a gun or not. But after asking the kid what happened, the homeowner's wife then called the police, brought him inside the house, and started applying first aid. She told the kid, he had the right address, but wrong street. The Street was one block over.
SICK!
America is sick with gun violence, hatred, and racism.
This was not standing anyone's ground. This was a racially motivated unprovoked shooting.
Then the White policemen showed up and interviewed the kid, before he was ambulanced to the hospital, and then spoke to the shooter, and left without even arresting the man or even asking him to come in for further questioning.
A total police response fuck-up, as well!
The kid is a Jr. at the local high school and an honor roll member.
Folks, here is the face of the racist guntarded Republican.
