- Last April, in suburban Detroit, a teenager got lost on his way to school and knocked on a door to ask for directions. The homeowner, Jeffrey Ziegler, opened the door armed with a shotgun and fired at the teen as he ran for his life. On Friday, a jury found Ziegler guilty of assault. Dean Reynolds reports.

He shot after the kid ran away.. man u were not defending your house.. u were hunting..
Eternal Ghost lol
Yeah no matter what u can shoot anyone in the back if that kid would have died he would have life
@@ooferrell "cant" might wanna edit that, context says that's what you meant but trolls wont be able to comprehend it.
And that is wrong you never shot in the back that's called coward
Jerry Burris Nah, you're a coward if you have to shoot someone, period. Especially a kid 👎👎
His wife lied to him. The boy was knocking on the door, and she claims that he's trying to break in the home. She wanted that boy to be killed.
Yea fck dat bih
@@TheInFamousTMF nice racism! keep it up

No, she lives in Detroit Metro and its like a war zone here. The thugs and criminals run free. This kid knew better than to go to a strange house.
@@danielmorse6597 Detroit may be a "war zone" but Rochester Hills isn't.
I've said this several times on this forum, "war zone" or no war zone"...the homeowner was completely wrong...and he's going to jail because of it.
I'm not a expert but I'm quite knowledgeable on the gun laws in the state of Michigan AND I have a valid Michigan CPL.
Now, I'm speaking directly AND only to those individuals who possess a valid Michigan CPL. Remember your Michigan CPL course material, training and Q&A session(s). I remember not only what I read/viewed but the advice given to me by the police officer who was our instructor. Tell me if I'm wrong in my conclusion...and why.
P.S. Look at the videotape. The boy (NOT A MAN) never enters the home. The boy (no weapons were discovered/observed on his person) was RUNNING AWAY when the homeowner went out his front door and fired a round from his shotgun. The homeowner was completely wrong.
Imagine your child getting lost in the way to school and getting shot for nothing. 😭😭😭😭
@yasi fer and if the child has no phone?
@yasi fer Are you implying the child was wrong to knock on a door to ask for directions?👀
@yasi fer Wow!that sounds like a collapse of civilization if ever I heard of one. 🤔 A child cannot knock on a door without fear of being murdered? Good thing the judge saw reason and the illegal shooter went to jail.
BTW My 15 year old boy has no cell phone.
@yasi fer Ummmm...who are "my people" that you are referring to in your comment?🤔
@yasi fer Why not address the issue of the illegal hunter and not the alleged hunted? Following your metaphor, Most countries deal harshly with poachers of animals . What about poachers of human beings?
BTW, I don't know whom you mean when you say "y'all". What are you assuming about me? 🤔
The fact that the kid was running away and u shoot proves whatever he is trying to say now is pure garbage
I would’ve ask what he needed before I open the door if I had a history of break in. Some people don’t think
She opened the door and was so surprised she screamed??? yet she didnt bother to check the peep hole first???
Honey get the gun theres a black man asking for directions
Is it wrong that I said this in a stereotype white woman voice
Ampocalypse not at all I did too😁

The weirdest part is the guy was only charged with assault and not attempted manslaughter.
Or reckless handling of a firearm
I agree with May may, he plead guilty in exchange for a lesser charge.
Thats that white privilege
You are so right because he discharged and fired a weapon at a child and received assault charges is ridiculous.
White privilege as f.
Aside from the fact that he didn’t look like a “big man”, her entire statement implies that big men aren’t allowed to ask for directions. Uhhh, earth to crazy racist couple...
Well, yeah, he doesn't look like a "big man" on news camera. But she was looking through her peephole, whereby he easily looked like a slender young man of sizable stature. And nobody is saying that men aren't allowed to ask for directions. She clearly was explaining why she disbelieved his claim that he was simply seeking walking directions to his high school.
@@oasean But their implicit argument is that being a big man justifies shooting at him...
I lived in the hood in Oakland, ca. a kid knocking on ur door is actually a sign that ur about to get robbed. they are seeing if ur home first. this happened to me once while my bedroom window was open.. I ignored the door and then listened as the kid tried to crawl in my window. let's just say he never made it in and I tried to instill the fear of god into him
@@tookitogo it's 2021, noone knocks on doors for directions. u know damn right this kid has a cell phone and knows how to use gmaps
@@sbarter You may not believe it but everyone cant afford a cell phone or a data plan.
These home owners are truly vile. Wife is just as guilty for starting the whole altercation in my book. Not even apologetic so let’s hope he gets the maximum.
She's morally guilty but she did nothing illegal. He should get the max to make up for that. He only got 4-10 years though which is ridiculous.
@@DoctorChained she should be in jail too, she instigated a hate crime and knew she was hence why she goaded her husband.
@@DoctorChained then went on the stand and lied and tried to use her white women tears so everyone would feel like she is a victim girl bye
@@DoctorChained And that's the problem, part of toxic femininity is convincing men to do violence on your behalf and avoiding the blame. There are lots of legal things which are morally reprehensible.
He was running away and you still shoot at him?
@NonyaBusiness! agreed. Even though I have a license to own one
Speaklife North Carolina Right, yet he thought calling himself a "victim" would justify him attempting to shoot someone in the back.
That's what devils do
Cops do it ALL the Time!!!
He just couldn't wait to try that shotgun hes been nerding over all year
The kid is literally running away and they still try to shoot him, like wtf
I like your joke, knocking is so 2000, not 2019
mrbobbilly what everyone has phone I got my first phone when I got my first job, had iPod but it needed internet to text or anything, you probably a troll sooo... ✌️
@iRobux So you're saying that you would shoot even if it was a young white girl outside your door?
@@mistid1485 its sarcasm
iRobux Imagine being a closet racist but not having the balls to admit it, probably not even to yourself
Imagine the trauma this puts on this kid for life. A racist wife and husband. The fact he fired from that far while he was running away is a huge issue. And he was only charged with assault, not assault with a deadly weapon?

To educate people about another similar case. In October 1992, Yoshihiro Hattori (a 16-year-old Japanese exchange student) knocked on the wrong door thinking it was the house of a Halloween party that he planned on attending was shot and killed by a .44 Magnum revolver. Police initially released his killer without charge, assuming he was within his rights to shoot a trespasser. But after complaints from Louisiana's governor and Japan's consul in New Orleans, he was charged with manslaughter. His lawyers worked hard to establish his actions as self-defence. They said Peairs was "no killer", simply "one of your neighbours" who was reacting to Yoshi's "extremely unusual way of moving". Meanwhile, Bonnie Peairs - Rodney's wife, who first opened the door - told the court Yoshi had scared her and she had ordered her husband to "get the gun".
The defence worked. In May 1993, Rodney Peairs was acquitted after a jury deliberation of just three hours.

@@mykesmyth2082 The average female height in the US is 5'4 actually. However, your comment is dead on. I'm 34 years-old, 5'4 and my daughter who just truned 12 years-old towers over me.

The owner did not buy the camera for “everybody’s” safety. He bought it for his own safety. That is the irony I am referring to. 🤦♂️ Think before you type.
He didn’t look like a child to her because he’s black.
@dyy Fethiiyhn ignorance and stupidity kills you have both in spades.
@dyy Fethiiyhn it's that kind of stupidity that fuels racism. Stop trying to defend the indefensible. 😑
We're talking about this teen who clearly looked like one and didn't fit her description
@dyy Fethiiyhn Ohh! please!! That's not an excuse u got lots of white kids that look just as big, taller and even stronger than most of these blacks in Amerika. I have seen them first hand, please this is racial prejudice at work and u know this cause ur in support of such racist sentiments. Let's not beat around the bush on this one!
There was a study done in Georgetown about this, actually; the study was pretty much a way to record how adults (from many different races) viewed young girls (once again, from many different races).
Whenever the testers showed the adults a picture of a white, fair, euro-centric 5 year old girl and gave them a follow up question like: "Does this [young] girl look like she needs protecting to you?" the subjects in question would always answer affirmatively, saying the young girl DOES need protecting. However, whenever they brought out a picture of a black, dark skinned, afro 5 year old girl, the same people, given the same question (again), would answer negatively this time; saying that the young black girl does NOT need protecting.
Us viewing black people as older, capable, and brash has been ingrained into many of us, believe it or not. That's why whenever a black person, any age they may be, does something wrong they always, ALWAYS get penalized harsher than you would see done to a white person. Because many people think that they should "know better by now".
UPDATE: The homeowner got a minimum sentence of four years before becoming eligible for parole. In pronouncing sentence the judge took into account that he had *previously* been charged with discharging a weapon at another motorist after they had flipped each other off.
The fact that while sitting and giving testimony, he's trying to act like he was pointing the gun up in the air, yeah right! Far too often they lie to try to take away what really happened. He must have been shocked when the detectives got a hold of the security video and played it back to him. When someone thinks they can get away with it, that's when the crimes are committed.
So he got a slap on the wrist…, so he will most definitely do this again
@@beautifulsoul245 If he was sentenced to 4 years, is he still able to register and own a gun?
Then he shouldn't be allowed to own a gun.
How did the judge took that into account exactly if he/she gave the minimum sentence?
“I’m going to break in your home by knocking on the door when I clearly see you’re at home” 😒😤 Yea no!
They definitely aren't the brightest buttons in the box. She should have been put in prison along side her husband. She lied just as much as her husband did.
Yes knocking on a door is what criminals do either so see if anyone’s home or to push their way in once the victim opens the door.

She should be charged for being ignorant . No schools in the area he looked like a man yea lady good reason to shoot after somebody
Perjury* though
jason j. Your comment is just "ignorant." You can arrest someone solely on the basis that you believe they're ignorant.
Whether he looked like a child or not, he was just asking for directions.
Yeah well why didn’t he ask a local business or shop, why a strangers house? Break ins are planned ahead before they happen. First they got to find a house, see what type of people live there, see if they can spot any valuables.
@@michaeltren4910 Good point. There's a lot of people casing homes to see if someone is home or to try and get a look inside, etc... This could've definitely been the case.
Also, you don't shoot at someone who hasn't threatened your life in the back while they're running away.
@@michaeltren4910 But you can't shoot someone for knocking at your door. I get people knocking on my door all the time. Confusing my apartment with my neighbor apartment. Because the they are so close and very similar. People have to think before they take action. You can't shoot at everyone who knocks at the door. If I was the woman. She shouldn't had open the door.
@@michaeltren4910 does it seem like an industrialised area to you!
@@michaeltren4910 Because they were in a residential area I suspect. I work in a suburban area of KCMO and my middle school is surrounded by nothing but homes and I hope to God that if one of my students needed assistance they would not be met with a shotgun. How traumatizing must that be for a child.
“We have no schools in our area”
That explains a lot.
Damn, no mercy.
Yeah, it explains why it was really unlikely that a high schooler would knock on a stranger's door for walking directions to a school so far away that he didn't even know how to get near it before seeking directions.

So if he was an adult that would of justified shooting a shot gun at him. Wtf
"why you tryna break into my house"
yes because we all know the best way to break into a house is by knockin on the door

@George L not gonna lie what you're stating really does make it feel like you're trying to justify the crazy guy

Ciaran Butterly accessory to crime. look it up
blacks are so good
"He didn't look like a child"
Even if he actually was a full grown adult, you can't just shoot anybody on your porch, nevermind someone running away.
“He wasn’t white” was the real reasoning here let’s be honest
not only that he could also have killed anyone that happened to be walking in that direction at that time
Why are you on my porch at all? Do you intend to steal something?
@Eric Villegas assuming thats whats actually happening. Plenty of ways to trap someone the second they open the door.
I wouldn't just start shooting. But i can't just trust people at face value. So you check a window or talk through the door just in case.
Use your head and don't be nieve. Humanity is not inherently good.
@Eric Villegas certainly not about to use my firearms unless i have to. But my point still stands. Caution is needed on both parties parts.
The kid wasn't smart knocking on a strangers doors and the stranger over reacted.
The more important factor is no one died. Now lets be honest if the kid wasn't black would the media care at all?
Its as usual a mess.
The fact that this is "Controversial" speaks volumes.
How is this controversial?! You shot at a kid who was just asking for help and running away! 😱
Do you know what a controversy is?
THE BOY IS RUNNING AWAY BUT YET YOU FIRE AT HIM?! That is a real criminal and danger to society
Why are people who are scared allowed guns?
Gbemi Lash to protect themselves... thats the point of guns guy. For scared people who dont know what else to do and dont want to wait for law enforcement to show up😂😂
BrodyVeilleux even if the kid broke into the house this man would’ve been charged because stand your ground means there is immediate threat to your life so the kid running away takes threat to your life out.
That is exactly the way to look at it as a crime that man should have never fired that weapon unless someone was actually trying to break in.
once the person starts running away, shooting at them is illegal.
The wife should be arrested too.
Being an idiot is not a crime
@@mrjasonsamuel23 true lol
She was aiding her husband she should've at least been charged.

@George L So what you're saying is if a teen knocks on your door and tries to explain something to you, you should automatically shoot at them because there's a chance they could be a theif?
Yikes.
@George L so punishment of getting shot in the back after running away?🤔 you sure have a funny way of justifying things. Bet you wouldn't be defensive if the teen were white
@George L and why were they lying about their story...pretty odd🤔
George L most people aren’t asking themselves why he got punished because most people have the capacity to understand that a teen getting his phone taken away for a bit isn’t indicative of a criminal lifestyle
All in all, glad the boy isn’t dead 😭.
YOOoOoOoOoooOoo ! When I heard his voice talking in past tense I wanted to cry ! We need MORE people who LIVE through these experiences to TEACH that there’s something WRONG !
Sadly we can’t control who lives and who doesn’t

You know if he did die they would have just said he was robbing them smh 🤦♀️. And if it wasn’t a video the police would have agreed so sad.
Yes, I agree.
Dang. I’m sorry that a 14 year had to go through that. As a door to door salesman.. we don’t usually get it THIS bad ;(
"These people." said it all. You don't get to shoot at a running teen just because your sick of crime. His 2nd gun offense lock him up before some one dies.

Of course it was racially motivated. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out.
Imagine that's your child and you find out this happened. Imagine the terror this poor kid went through.
He had a back pack on, he's dressed like a kid, his arms never really left his side, he looks like a tall kid, he sounds pretty soft spoken . So, where did they get threat?
Um, I don't know maybe just maybe they had bad experiences with black teenagers. I know its rich affluent white dilly Detroit but that's just a guess.

Or his parents are the kind who believe that kids don't need smart phones.

He could have had his gun at his side and told the kid to scram. There was no need to aim or shoot at a fleeing person. Not to mention, bullets travel... He could have hit another innocent person.

Would it have been any different if he chased after him with a kitchen knife? A gun is often the only thing in the world that can save your life, especially if you’re a woman, impaired, or incapable of using your own body as weapon
And if he had died they would have said he was trying to break into their house and people would have believed them.

You never shoot someone in the back! Its cowardice. If someone is fleeing that means YOUR LIFE IS NOT AT RISK....its that simple.
His life was never in danger to begin with!
Try telling this to police officers!
But what if the person's back has a gun?
Burglars don't knock on your door and say "Hi, I'm looking for directions to my school".
It doesn't matter that he didn't look like a child. He was running away. You don't shoot people who are running away
Running away???!! Since when did it become okay to shoot someone for ringing your doorbell???!🙄
A “big man” you mean black man
Prod. D5iVE shows you that race never entered her mind if thats the description used
"there's no schools in this area" THATS WHY HE TAKES THE BUS!!!
@@Doors067 no more like ''shows you that she's trying to not come off as racist even though she is''

If you're afraid, don't open the door. You can talk through the door. If you have a security gate, just leave that latched as you talk. To shoot at someone for knocking on your door, and without provocation, that's just insane.
Alternatively, you could just live in a country where there is no reason to be scared, because people don't rob and assault each other :)

I don’t understand the controversy? They’re clearly racist, he clearly fired as he was running away. Doesn’t sound like any controversy. Seems pretty open and shut. Should both be in jail.

Ricky Spanish his wife didn’t make him pull the trigger
I kind of agree, but even if he was an actual intruder, It is illegal to shoot at a fleeing intruder. So the husband still deserves to go to prison.
Did his wife make him shoot at a teenager running away? Nope.
Both need to be in jail. Bro wtf u talking about, u want the guy that shoots at teenagers still out on the streets??
I love how the only thing that snitched that guy out was his own security camera. It's like "This is what really happened"
For anyone wondering, he was sentenced to 4-10 years, eligable for parole after 4.

He wasn't taught the lesson, dont talk to strangers. Also, second lesson, if you knock on someones door, stand way way back before they open the door so as to not spook the residents. Bad parenting too.

This video is from 2018 not 1980.
Nobody walks up to a strangers door asking for directions in this generation with the technology we have. Most people today carry a cell phone that has GOOGLE GPS or you can Google search places phone a numbers.
Why didn't he use the cell phone and call his parents. Why didn't he turn on the GPS or call the school using Google search. Why go to a complete strangers house.
I never heard of anyone going up to a strangers house asking for directions unless their standing outside. Usually people ask for directions in a public building (Gas Station) or someone walking down the street

Black Kid: Exists
Racist: So anyway, i started blastin
@Defqon
So, what's the relevance of the video to the conversation?
There are racist people who will shoot a kid because of his skin colour.
Does your video disprove it?
Does it make a change to the universe where a black man is arrested and treated brutally more than a white guy that commited the same crime.
Unless the black man didn't commit a crime and even then the prevelancy of him being a victim of police brutality is higher.
Are you a Trump supporter for using "whataboutism" or just the usual racist idiot?
Black teenager not having a smartphone and google maps. Don't believe it.

Defqon what else? You tell me? What POSSIBLY could they have shot a school kid for
Wait so she basically said they shot at him because he didn’t look like a kid, even if he didn’t look like a kid why would you shoot him smh
As explained in the video, they believed him to be a burglar checking wether somebody was in the house. With the house apparently been burglarized 5 times I can kinda get the anger and frustration of the homeowners, just that they sadly overreacted and got on the wrong guy. I don't know what it's like in the USA, but here the chances of the police accomplishing anything when it comes to burglary is near 0 and that's really frustrating, I can see how when there are multiple break ins one can eventually get so fed up with the incompetence of state authorities to protect one's property that one wants to take the law into their own hand. If firearms were legal here, I bet there would be a ton of dead gypsies

@@cxrupttsnxgs4436 well, to be fair we don't know if that is the case or not.
@@insidetheredzone When burglars are looking to see when someone is in a house, they typically do ask for directions because they need to have a cover story behind their reason for going up to the house. What's a burglar supposed to say? "Oh I see you're home, I'll come back later then"?
That young man looks like a teenager people are so quick to shoot a gun at someone there's too many racist people in this world

But that was attempted manslaughter, not assault. He aimed the gun and shot after the kid was running away.
Hate crimes are only manslaughter?

Stand your ground doesn't cover shooting someone in the back. At least not yet. Give the Repubs. time though.
There would only be one side to the story then, the people did call the cops but when the cops found him he explained himself and was clearly traumatized
Because a dead man/ child in this case can tell no tales.
If the boy had died, he would not have been charged. He would’ve said “the kid threatened me”, or the old “I was in fear for my life”

Your wisdom amazes me big buddy
@@otegadamagicNo reasonable gun owner would do that but thieves have been known to use the "knock the door" tactic when casing houses to make sure the coast is clear. In some cases they'll send someone else ( sometimes a girl or woman) asking for help to get the homeowner to drop their guard before launching a home invasion. While this rarely happens, it's always good to be prepared. This case however is despicable and clearly shows the homeowners were wrong in doing what they did, leading us to infer that they acted on their prejudiced beliefs rather than on the actual circumstance. This kid did not do anything that could be construed as shady (furtive gestures, trying to hide his face, etc) that would have merited this kind of violent response.
Apparently, this guy fired a gun in a road rage incident back in 2004 and didn't serve any jail time after pleading guilty.
Now he's trying to get his conviction overturned because he thinks the court didn't follow sentencing guide lines.
If he was expecting to get a lighter sentence because he got one in the past, he clearly doesn't understand the logic used when taking a criminal history into consideration.
I find it hard to believe he had been robbed 5 times living in that neighborhood.
I hope to god that man is not able to possess any firearm after this. He proved he's not mentally stable enough to have a firearm.
@Josue Cabrera Yes. But you have to know that a person gets a gun, because they are afraid of something.
