GFM for shooting victim surpasses $2M

We don't know why the homeowner shot this kid. So far they are saying the victim rang the wrong doorbell.

If it turns out the victim instigated the confrontation, what will happen to the money? I recall a bodega owner in NYC that shot a guy trying to rob him. The GFM folks said he couldn't benefit from inciting violence, so no money for him.

On Thursday, April 13, 2023, my nephew Ralph Pual Yarl was on his way to pick up his twin younger brothers from their friend's house a few blocks away from his house. He didn't have his phone. He mistakenly went to the wrong house, one block away from the house where his siblings were. He pulled into the driveway and rang the doorbell. The man in the home opened the door, looked my nephew in the eye, and shot him in the head. My nephew fell to the ground, and the man shot him again. Ralph was then able to get up and run to the neighbor's house, looking for help.

This story has shifted slightly. TIME is reporting he entered the wrong home. That is a lot different than ringing the wrong doorbell.

So, according to the auntie and instigator of this shake down, the homeowner shot this kid at close range in the head not once but twice and the kid was able to run to a neighbors house? And not just one neighbor, but he ran all over the place to several neighbors before he could get someone to call the cops? After being shot twice, at least once in the head?

I expect nothing more from the fam than, "My boah a goot boah!" but at some point they start getting ridiculous.

It's going to turn out that this kid has been in trouble before and his family is a bunch of shitbags. It's probably also going to come out that the kid was breaking into the man's home. Watch and see.

Whoever shot that kid must be the world's worst shot or he was using a BB gun.
When most people are shot in the head someone is picking their brains up off the street.

Still not getting a clear picture of what happened. What time was it? Was it evening - and dark?
Was it the front door? (We used to have doorbells at every egress, including the way to the garage).

Was he shot through the door glass, or was the door glass shot in the course of the incident? Somehow he managed to shoot the kid in the head and he was well enough to run to neighbors for help - several neighbors.

If the old man shot an innocent kid the way the news has tried to describe (because they've come up with several mutually exclusive versions) then they place the old man in custody immediately, without question.

But if at any point the kid entered the old guy's house at night, he may have some cause. In my (mumble-mumble) number of years, I've never walked into someone's house without being asked, even homes of people I know - even as a small child. BUT I HAVE WALKED INTO A ROOM AND FOUND SOMEONE STANDING THERE that I didn't know. Happened twice in Greenbelt when I lived there.

Getting “shot in the head” can have myriad outcomes other than death.

That said, if the kid was a threat, Castle Doctrine is still a thing. As always at this stage of a story, I doubt all of the facts are being presented.

If the door was in fact closed, old man gonna have a tough case to defend.

I've had that happen to me, I calmly told them that they had the wrong house and they were very lucky that I wasn't a serial killer or just haven't started yet.

Both times, they ran out the porch. I lived in a garden style apartment, and my balcony floor was about five feet from the ground, with a rail, which meant, it took EFFORT to climb in. Until that time, I often opened the door and pulled the screen door shut, to air the place out, and have a nice breeze. After those incidents, I kept my bike IN the apartment, and once my car had had its radio yanked - twice - I moved out. I'd had enough.

Of course, there were other factors. One night after coming home from volleyball late, a young woman came up to me and asked me to walk her in to her apartment - because there was a gauntlet of young men outside on the way in, and there had been a rape in THAT LOT only a week before.

Then there was the pile of DEA vans that came pouring in one morning, helmets, shields, running to the apartment above mine. Yep, time to move.

I'm familiar with Greenbelt, so you lived in the nice part.

The newsbots were all "OMG he was shot in the head!!! He has life threatening injuries!!!" but he ran around the neighborhood right after he was shot and was released from the hospital pretty quickly. So obviously it wasn't all that and the media was blowing it out of proportion, if you can possibly imagine that.

So what else are they embellishing or outright lying about?

Which is too bad because it may be that this kid simply rang the wrong doorbell and the homeowner opened fire on him, but we are suspicious of that narrative because the news media has lied to us so many times they can no longer be trusted.

The homeowner has been charged with assault in the first degree and armed criminal action. Both are felonies.
The shooting occurred around 9:30pm.

Homeowner said he had just lain down when the doorbell rang, he picked up a .32 pistol and opened the interior door of his house. He saw a Black male pulling on the exterior door and thought he was trying to break into the property. Said that he fired twice and that no words were exchanged with the victim.

The kid said that he did not pull the door and was waiting outside and that a man opened the door and immediately shot him, causing him to fall to the ground where he was shot for a second time and the homeowner said, “Don’t come around here.” Then he stumbled away to some other homes in the neighborhood to get help and was rushed to hospital.

I'm sure this story will be played up for about a week because an old white guy shot a black teen.

But the story about someone shooting 20+ people and killing 4 is not being talked about. Just like the trans person's reasons for shooting up a school.

It could have simply been a teenager doing stupid teenager things. Like maybe pounding on the door and yelling I'm robbing you because he thought he was at the right house.
