Luckily he seems to be alright and not life threatening injury and that thug has been arrested.

It supposedly wasn't politically motivated, and looks more like yet another example of "paranoid homeowner terrified of ethnic minority approaching their home decides to shoot first and ask questions hopefully never".  Americans have been well trained to be absolutely petrified of other people.

I would say that is still political since we all know what party is trained to treat an ethnic minority approaching their home as a threat.

  This is tragic violence but thankfully the teenager looks like he will survive. The shooter was a Honduran-American guy I didn't see anything about the race of the victim or motivation for the shooting.

I don't disagree, but I'd hold off doing so here until we know the affiliation of the (Hispanic) shooter.  Sadly, the paranoia epidemic is quickly becoming a bipartisan affair as even leftists are sprinting to the nearest gun stores.

The shooter was a Honduran American USMC veteran suffering from PTSD. Perhaps we lay off the idea it was racially/politically motivated unless proven otherwise?

We don't know the race of the person who was shot, either.

Stop with the canvassing and knocking on doors, especially as a minority doing that stuff in white areas. It's dangerous.

Campaign ads, campaign on Main Street, not knocking on random people's doors.

There are some really bad people here.  Immediately trying to score political points on a random forum before even knowing anything about what happened.  You should be ashamed of yourselves and take a BREAK!

Only in America are there so many broken veterans and so many guns for them to hurt themselves or others with.

Shooting someone for approaching your front door is bad regardless of the motivation.
