It's still victim blaming. There is no reasonable situation where shooting a kid in the back is ever a good choice. Fucking ever.

Worse, you can't expect a child to look up online how dangerous a joke is before playing it. Their brains aren't wired that way. Kids will be ringing doorbells and running away until doorbells stop existing. Shooting them for it is co.pletely and entirely on the person with the gun. Every single time.
