You want to go around pointing guns at people as a means of intimidation, be prepared to have someone point one right back who is probably more prepared to pull the trigger.
Glad that it turned out well for the victim, but it's unfortunate a 16 y/o had to die because of the stupid choices he made. When somebody gets into such violent crime that young in their life it makes you wonder where the hell the parents are and what they're doing or not doing.
