The kid was returning a BB gun to a suburban strip mall,
which is not something that carries the death penalty in Washington state.
The man, who saw himself as the protector of his community, decided that the child was a danger,
because he had decided that it was his job to choose who was dangerous and who was not.
So he pulled out his people-killing tool—the ownership and use of which is seen as a fundamental right in this country—and issued some commands,
and the child obeyed, because he was being accosted by an armed stranger.
However, the community protector was unsatisfied with the child's compliance,
so he killed the child.
This is also seen by many people as a fundamental right in this country,
provided you're the kind of person who is allowed by our dominant cultural narrative to appoint yourself a community protector.
