Let's hope this POS, gets the maximum sentence too!

'This will affect my son forever,' the boy's mom said.

A jury convicted a white Michigan man of assault on Friday for firing a shotgun at a black teen who knocked on his door to ask for directions on his way to school.

Brennan Walker, 14, had missed his bus on the morning of April 12, so he stopped at the Rochester Hills home of Jeffrey Zeigler to ask for directions. But the boy was met by the shotgun-wielding homeowner and ran away, barely escaping injury as Zeigler fired at him.

Zeigler, 53, was found guilty of assault with attempt to do great bodily harm and possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

I saw the home security video.. The shooter claimed that he stumbled and the shorgun went off.. He lied.

The video of that encounter is heart-wrenching.

The kid is black and was not lost. There were likely some black men close by ready to pounce on the white guy. A standard black trick. When the white guy came out with a gun, all the thugs took off. Of course the racist press won't give that side of the story. Whites are always in the wrong.
