Ralph Paul Yarl, the Black teenager who was shot by a homeowner after having rung the wrong doorbell, was motionless and covered in blood when James Lynch found him unconscious.
"I thought he was dead," Lynch said Monday.
“No one deserves to lay there like that,” Lynch said. “He hasn’t even begun to live his life yet. He didn’t deserve to get shot.”
Lynch, 42, had just gotten out of the shower Thursday night and was getting ready for bed when he heard shouting outside. He went over to his kitchen window and saw a boy banging on the door of a nearby home.
"I heard somebody screaming, 'Help, help, I've been shot!'" Lynch said, adding the shouting was out of place for the normally quiet neighborhood.

No innocent person deserves to be shot. The homeowner is responsible and should be charged

Excellent post. Thank You for sharing this shipmate. This is a shame that teen had to experience that unfortunate incident from that particular homeowners carelessness. I vote to send that homeowner to court.

As I have often posted, this will continue to happen, as long as some keep preaching hate and/or fear.
