You're going to have to start using names. By "he" in this case, I'm assuming you're referring to Mr. Bailey? The kid which tried (along with some friends) to force his way into a private party he hadn't been invited to and was not welcome at? Yeah... what a victim.
Like I said, in my state and others, he probably could have been lawfully shot for that stunt. Property owners are generally allowed to use force to remove trespassers.
Strangely, again, the media is silent as to whether he came and refused to leave, came and threatened violence, etc. I think it's safe to assume that he (and his friends who are for some reason never mentioned) weren't exactly Christmas Caroling.
That may be the max. I doubt seriously that if there's a conviction anyone will get the maximum penalty. It's possible though. The sort of beating they gave this kid could have killed him.
Did they fire the shotgun? Nope. Were they stupid for pulling it out? Perhaps. For all we know, the person in that case may have felt it necessary to have that weapon for self-defense.
I don't see anything criminal about what he did though. It's still legal to own firearms in this country.
And as for the comment about "attacking with shoes..." These were shoes attached to feet attached to the legs which were attached to six cowardly attackers. You're an intelligent person, use some common sense.
My grandfather was beaten to death in a similar manner -- no guns, knives or anything in a bar fight in Eastern Oklahoma -- probably over an oil deal gone bad. At any rate, hands and feet can be as deadly as guns -- especially when you're kicking an unconscious person in the head.

U know what Kevin...we did this when we discussed Katrina...so...no more....
Kevin...smh...you are either really just that dayumed ignorant or.....wow....you compared a stomach bug to a boy who got the living crap beaten out of him...do you know how that sounds?
**sidebar** any ladies here who went to thier prom while suffering thier menstrual please raise your hands....any gents who did likewise after a brutal stompong do likewise?
You have a right to your opinion but I see now you form your opinion due to the fact that if it doesn't somehow affect you directly it doesn't matter to you but that's par for the course with most people in this country so...here is where my discourse ends with you.
