Yarl was attempting to pick up his siblings when he mistakingly rang the house’s doorbell.It remains unclear if Yarl was able to read any of the signs when he arrived at the home at around 10:30 p.m. The teen has been released from the hospital after suffering the life-threatening injuries.
Yarl’s attorneys, Lee Merritt and Ben Crump, said the teen was shot twice by a white man, with Kansas City Police officialsA sign warning that the “property is protected by surveillance cameras.”Neighbors also confirmed that the suspect lives in the home with his wife, where protesters gathered over the weekend to demand justice for the Yarl.
A person was brought into police custody for shooting Yarl and then released without charges the next day.“We recognize the frustration this can cause with the entire criminal justice process,” Graves said. “As soon as the case is complete, it will be presented to the Clay County prosecutors for their review.”
So NY Post is just a troll account now?
Yeah... delete this headline. Regardless of the sign, this child did not deserve to be shot in the head.
Where is your “no journalism” sign
Seriously ?
So what? That doesn't make it right that he shot Ralph
And your point? He wasn't soliciting.
Does this mean I can Glock the free range evangelists that insist on knocking on the door?
Piece of crap article from a piece of crap publication.
I have one too but I still don't fucking shoot Black kids who knock on my door you absolutely ghouls
he wasnt a solicitor so whats your point?
good thing he wasn't soliciting then right?
WTAF is wrong with you? Oh yeah …
Hi! I'm not sure what the rules around 'no solicitors' signs are in New York, but in Kansas City it doesn't mean 'I have the legal right to shoot you with the intent to kill because I don't recognize you.'
And the 16 year old child looking for his younger twin siblings was not in any way soliciting. This is a trash take even for the Post. Shameful.
yes wow good thing he wasnt a solicitor 🙄. change it to “kid shot by crazy dude that thinks its ok to shoot ppl for no reason”
Wtf is this headline
Is this a fucking reason to kill a teen? Your headline sucks and your “newspaper” too.
He wasn’t a solicitor.
Disgusting headline. You should be ashamed of yourselves
And I’m blocking newyorkpost
Y’all really be fucking trying it with these headlines.
'No solicitors' doesn't equal shot in the head
The New York post should burn in hell for this
1) He wasn't soliciting 2) You can't shoot solicitors 3) Delete this
Have They not been saying that kids can't read or write. I'm not backing the homeowner, but parents need to teach kids that you just can't trust any homeowner in this day and time.
And? Ralph Yarl was not a goddamn solicitor. He was a teenager trying to pick up his younger brothers and made a mistake in the street name. Trying to defend a cold blooded racist who tried to murder a child is absolutely disgusting.
Honestly... shame on all the New Yorkers that keep buying this rag. And yes, knowing that this one has national circulation, I say people in Kansas City should forever boycott this and its sister publications, like Liverpool did with The Sun and Murdoch's shit.
And?
good thing he wasn't
Since you felt the need to bring that up, just say what you're thinking... He had it coming. That's the take away in your headline. Shame on you.
1. He wasn't soliciting. 2. That doesn't give you the right to shoot solicitors. 3. What the fuxk is wrong with you?
Lol. They gotta devalue the Black life by putting their criminal record, their parents criminal record OR the sign on the door…. Smh.
*clears throat* someone ringing your doorbell or knocking on your door does not give you the right to commit murder
Common New York post L
Oh well I guess it's ok then...
What the fuck is wrong with you people? Like a fucking sign warrants a murder? What the fuck?
Even if you have a no soliciting sign, you are not allowed to shoot solicitors. And he wasn't soliciting. There is no legitimate point to this article. Only race baiting.
So what if it did? He wasn’t selling anything, he was looking for his siblings.
Was he soliciting?
He wasn't soliciting so this is irrelevant.
Well he wasnt a solicitor he just had the wrong house
Ok and….
I NEVER REALIZED IN THE STATES YOU CAN SHOOT PEOPLE IF YOU SIMPLY PLACE A NO SOLICITOR SIGN BY YOUR DOOR
How is this relevant? The kid wasn't a solicitor. In any case, you can't shoot someone for ringing a doorbell OR soliciting.
Please reprimand that journalist asap.
He wasn’t soliciting.
He wasn't soliciting. He was trying to pick up his sibling. More importantly, even if he was, why should it justify the perpetrator shooting him in the head? Weirdos.
And THAT makes shooting a 16 year old okay? Or anyone? Kid wasn’t soliciting anything. Anyone who thinks the sign legitimizes the shooting isn’t human. Period.
So f*%king what?
Ok, and? This kid wasn't trying to sell anything. Even if he was, you can't freely shoot solicitors either.
So what? Those signs are decoration, not enforceable mandates. They refer to salespeople but salespeople have first amendment rights so even for salespeople they are not enforceable.
I’m sure this kid who thought he was picking up his siblings didn’t consider himself a solicitor…so why does this matter?
He wasn’t soliciting. And even if he were, shooting him in the head is absolutely wrong. Headline is f*cked up.
(Flip through racist excuse notes…) “He should have complied!”
okay? so what. he still shot an innocent person and broke the law. a paper sign doesn't shield him from what he did. admit it, he played judge, jury, and executioner.
And? A child was shot in the head. By an adult. Nothing else matters in this story.
He wasn't soliciting. He was trying to pick up sibling(s) and mistakenly went to the wrong house where he was shot by angry, frightened white coward.
Oh look, it's the property over people people
Somehow relevant when he wasn’t a solicitor and you’re not allowed to shoot solicitors anyway. Who actually got paid to write this
So?
Is telling people that you can use deadly force against a person on your property if you have a “No Solicitors” sign? Seems like really bad legal advice…..
SO TF WHAT! HE WAS A LOST CHILD
Which is why we regularly shoot people for delivering junk mail when there's a sign that says 'no junk mail', eh?
Hell is not hot enough for whoever wrote this.
This is absolutely shameful. I wouldn’t expect anything else from you.
That doesnt give people carte blanche to dome people who ring your doorbell. What?!
You should be ashamed of this headline.
And yet another example of why the is crap, always has been, always will be.
He was there to pick up his siblings.
He wasn't 'soliciting' by any understanding of that word, as the events have been described. Why is this relevant?
As a Girl Scout, I’d try selling door-to-door to houses with these signs. Most bought. Some were not happy with me. Would I have dwarves to be shot in the head because of it? No. Any reasonable person doesn’t think that’s a reasonable response.
Besides the fact that that kid wasn't soliciting, soliciting isn't a crime punishable by death. Not surprised though that the NY Post would print crap like that.
He wasn't soliciting. So what's the issue?
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS HEADLINE!!?
Newscorpse
So that gives him the right to shoot anyone who comes to his door? You should be ashamed of yourself for even writing this.
So people can start shooting girl scouts selling cookies or Jehova Witnesses?
Delete this now
I hope everyone who works in this God awful place goes through what this poor boy went through 100 times back to back
🤔🤔
…. So no solicitors allows for the homeowner to shoot a child twice in the head ?
This is disgusting. Delete it.
Guess you don’t know what ‘solicitor’ means 🥴
Ah yes, because having a “No solicitors” sign on your front yard is a perfect excuse to fire 2 rounds through your door at someone for being casually/mistakenly being on your property.
Yeah, but the young boy was not selling anything. Anything you guys can do to justify your racist homicidal tendencies is ridiculous. Fkn ammo-sexuals
Shut up
He wasn't a solicitor. He was going to pick up his little brothers but knocked on the wrong door. And even if he was a solicitor, who shoots someone for trying to sell them stuff? In what effed up world is it logical or ethical to shoot a kid just for knocking on your door?
Your point being?.
You're making excuses for this?!!!
Everybody at the NY Post deserves to have something really funny happen to them
Your story is irrelevant. Here is the definition of solicitor. Even if the child had been trying to collect money for a charity in defiance of the sign the penalty is not deadly assault w a gun.
So?
So does he take a shot at the mail person too … having a sign up doesn’t give you the right to kill
As if that’s an excuse for attempting to murder a child.
Do you guys even know what the word solicit means? This is completely irrelevant in every case.
Wait... you left this up?!?
There is nothing that could possibly happen to Rupert Murdoch that would be unjustified.
And? 1) Yarl wasn’t a solicitor and 2)even if he was, no solicitor deserves to be shot in the head for merely knocking on the door. Just dont fucking answer the door.
so the fuck what? 'or the crazy guy in house will shoot you?'
New York post need to be sued
Anything to justify this kind of violence
🖕
What the fuck does that have to do with anything?
who gives a fuck. it's not an excuse to shoot someone
Wowwwwwww
ABCDEFU
He wasn't soliciting.
Used to sell satellite tv packages door to door. Having a no soliciting sign is not an excuse to start firing rounds through your door. This whole affair was an overreaction based on paranoia and level heads could have saved lives.
Who the fuck cares! This has nothing to do with the fact that this young man rang the doorbell and got shot because the dude inside decided to shoot first
and this is relevant how? Your country is messed up. People get shot for knocking on wrong door, going in wrong driveway, ball rolling into neighbour's yard, at school, church, mall, concert, bank, club, grocery store. It's not normal and only happens in the US. IT IS THE GUNS!
Wow, you’re as bad as FoxNews .
At least this one is getting news coverage. Something much, much worse happened and no American media will even touch it. Because the shooter is black.
So can Johova’s be shoot too, then?
Dude thats for when a guy comes into a barber shop and tries to sell my barber a vaccum while hes cutting my hair. It doesnt mean 'shoot on sight' - with this arguement the fucking post is painting the KID as a villian and saying dude coulda capped ANYONE that knocked. Wtf.
And that means you can attempt to murder someone?
Wow, how to try to get a headline. Last time so checked, picking up siblings is not solicitation, so the sign would not even matter. But then the author of the headline should know that. They did get an education, didn’t they?
And? That doesn't mean you get to shoot a kid just cuz he's at your door.
And yet no sign for 'Minors who are not soliciting but rang the wrong door will be shot multiple times.' Good grief.
So? Are you justifying racist attempted murder?!?
He’s a child you absolute gremlins
So?
He wasn't soliciting and even if he was, it's not a reason to shoot a boy.......twice. FFS
Way to fucking victim blame, assholes!
And? Was he soliciting? Irrelevant!
Well he wasn’t a f’ng solicitor so what is your actual point? That it’s ok to murder solicitors because you don’t like hearing sales pitches? Not sure that’ll hold up in court.
who wrote this shit
He wasn’t soliciting. He was at the wrong house!
He was a kid looking for his brothers. Neither a solicitor nor a trespasser. But you think if he was a Mormon missionary or a Girl Scout cookie seller those signs mean the homeowner can shoot to kill for knocking? What’s you point
Fuck that headline.
HE STILL SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SHOT
🖕🏿
Does this mean he would’ve shot the Girl Scouts too?
Picking up your siblings is not soliciting, why even write about the sign.
So, it's his fault? You are appalling.
So what. RalphYarl was NOT soliciting and I don’t care if he was selling candy or computers. You don’t shoot someone because they rang your doorbell.
I wasn’t aware that he was a solicitor? What a stupid headline!
You should be ashamed of yourselves for this headline. Disgusting.
What the actual fuck
Delete this.
From the owners of Fox the lying machine.....
Horrid take and disgusting headline.
Knocking on a door is bit soliciting. The man attempted murderer and you are still a hack rag
Wtf does his 'no solicitation' sign have to do with it He wasn't a solicitor. He thought he was at the right house to pick up his brothers! Anybody not a solicitor would still knock on the door. Racism
Maybe he should’ve put up a sign that said “Knock at your own risk. Armed old crazy man on premises”. 🙄🙄🙄
Wtf is this shit
He wasn't even soliciting, and even if he was, it doesn't justify SHOOTING HIM IN THE HEAD
He wasn't a solicitor.
So? The kid wasn't soliciting. Even if he had been, that doesn't give the resident the right to shoot him. WTF is this?
I need a 'No New York Post Journalists' sign
So?
You are terrible people. Truly terrible.
This Ronny Reyes who is on the byline and w9rks for some of the worst publications in the world. Daily Mail, The Courier Mail in Aus. They love to pump out the racist dog whistles on a daily basis.
Is this a joke? What the fuck is the point of this?
So does mine. Should I be shot for knocking on the wrong door?
He wasn't selling anything...
Common L
Delete your account.
Does that mean the death penalty? Are you THAT f’ing racist? How disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself for your lack of humanity.
Sweet baby cheezus, what a disgusting display. How do you sleep at night?
Fuckin trash.
He wasn’t soliciting
What’s wrong with you!?
Would be a shame if the people behind headlines like this got 🍵 on their way home
Everyone who works at the nypost should be begging for change on the street
You know what 'solicitation' is right? Picking up your siblings (even at the wrong house) is NOT solicitation
Ghouls
Absolute garbage headline, pathetic
He wasn’t soliciting!!!
Guess what? You're owned by Murdoch so you have zero credibility. 'No Solicitation' is zero excuse to shoot someone, open the door and shoot them IN THE HEAD.
You call this journalism? Like, what is your point? You think a sign gives him the right to shoot a teenager in the head for ringing his doorbell?
So what?
And? What does that have to do with anything If this kid didn't know they were at the wrong house he wasn't soliciting anything
Because that makes it totally okay to shoot a kid!
just in case no one at the NYP has access to a dictionary. Maybe MerriamWebster can set you up with some professional development on how words have specific use cases.
Why isn’t he in jail? He has no business being out of jail.
Good thing he wasn't soliciting, eh? He was lost. He thought he was approaching the right house, which would mean he was expected, which would mean he was NOT a solicitor. That's why shoot-on-sight is bad. He was shot without any just cause, and I hope you understand that.
Kid most definitely did not fall under soliciting header in shape or form. Douchery deluxe on your part.
Even after a record pay out yesterday, the stench from the oceans of shit that Murdoch pumps out every day, never abates.
So if you have to pick up your brother from a house that has a no solicitors sign your brother is just gone forever?
1) He wasn't soliciting and 2) Are you saying we can put up a sign and murder everyone who knocks on our door?
Anything you scumbags can do to demonize the black guy that got shot. What's next, he smoked weed that one time?
Wtf is wrong with you people? I guess they should shoot every girl scout and Jehovah's witnesses!
so if i put a 'no cops' sign on my door? ... ?
Yeah that's right. Make it the kid's fault. If you have a doorbell on your patio, then that doorbell is meant to be pressed. If you don't want visitors, put up a locked gate.
Racist is all this is giving. Very racist.
Y’all are so weird for trying to justify this shit
How is this even relevant to anything? The kid wasn’t a solicitor. And even if he was, that sign doesn’t give the home owner license to shoot anyone who steps on to their porch.
Delete this and retract your article. Ringing a doorbell does not constitute soliciting (look it up, journalist). Giving the impression that a “no soliciting” or “under surveillance”sigs in any way validates shooting someone is reprehensible and irresponsible.
And what.. fucking idiots
I’ve always agreed that the penalty for ignoring the “no solicitors” sign is lethal force
Ok….
Well that changes everything 🙄
DID IT HAVE A SIGN SAYING I WILL MURDER YOU IF YOU COME TO MY DOOR?
Oh, well he definitely deserved it then.
Good thing he wasn't a Solicitor then huh?
GFY.
I mean this in the most sincere way- please go rot in hell forever. You’re the WORST
And that justifies shooting a teen how?
1. In no way does that excuse shooting that boy. 2. That sign is so small it barely counts as a sign. What the fuck was the point of this?
Your difference in framing shows your racial bias very clearly. Both cases had signs yet you chose to report that only for the black guy in the headline and thereby frame the narrative like this. Ridiculous. Like just looks at these two images compared to this post:
My home does too and all I do is get snarky with the people who try to sell me solar panels.
Oh that explains it.
1. He wasn’t soliciting. 2. Even if he was, it isn’t a capital offence. 3. Even if it was, Andrew Lester is not the judge and jury. I know you’re a creepy, slimy Rupert Murdoch publication, but seriously NY Post, try to do better.
And?
We need clarification. What reason do you have to say this beyond attempting to blame Ralph? What’s the point of the article/tweet? Would it have been legal to shoot him if he had been soliciting? No. Was he soliciting? No. Why does it matter if he saw the sign?
So, if I put out a sign I get to shoot the fundamentalists who knock on my door on Saturday mornings wanting to save my soul?
The NY Post never misses an opportunity to suck
What the f-ck is wrong with you that this is your takeaway from this
That must mean something different here in Canada than in the USofA. Does that guy shoot the UNICEF/charity folks who miss the sign and knock?
And?
For fucks sake
A no soliciting sign doesn’t give you the right to shoot a child
He was not soliciting.
Ahh so shot someone in the head for knocking……
And?
And there it is. The stupidest fucking thing I've seen all day.
Imagine working at and seeing garbage takes like this AND being proud of where you worked. Like telling your kids “yep, I work for this trash publication that provides cover to murderers”
WTF does that have to do with anything? Who the hell wrote that?
And your point? This is Fox News level of 'reporting'. Be better.
Doesn’t Murdoch own the New York Post?
Not only racist and ugly, but also 100% irrelevant. The boy was there (mistakenly) to pick up younger siblings. And even if he *were* soliciting, what does that have to do with getting shot?
NYP doesn’t even qualify as birdcage lining anymore.
You say that like you think it makes attempted murder okay.
Have one on my house too but am I gona shoot a child that knocks on the door anyways? Fuck no!
🖕🏻
Gotta keep that Staten Island readership happy
Ralph was NOT a solicitor. Fix head line to reflect that.
How does a 'no solicitation' sign justify this?
The hell is up with that headline. That gives old dude permission to shoot anyone he wants? He shot a 16yo kids in the head and then shot him again. I can't qwhite figure out why things get phrased like this.
So?
How do you sleep at night?
What the hell does this headline imply? Does that mean if NYPost editors had seen this sign, they would just walk away without picking up their kids? Or does it mean you can shoot anyone who knocks as long as you have such a sign up?
Wtf is the point? Even an actual solicitor on a porch with a no solicitor sign, shouldn’t be gunned down I have a sign that says ‘no parking,’ in front of my house. If someone parks there, I’m not shooting at them through my door
Dude. This headline is straight garbage.
You’re disgusting
delete it
He wasn't soliciting.
You're surely kidding, right? Wow, even low for this rag.
You guys suck…wankers
Kid wasn't soliciting. He was trying to pick up his brothers and made a simple. Death penalty is not the penalty for trespassing even if it's posted. New York Post is a racist rag.
Wow that headline! Good grief
Ok….so what….
So if I hang that sign up on my door, it's okay for me to shoot Mormons knocking on my door or it's not okay because they're white?
LMAO.
Even if the house did, that’s still not a reason to just shoot someone
And?
new york post attempts to justify shooting a child in the head
Trying to cover for a coward with a gun. Just deplorable.
Imagine you have an emergency and need help, knock on someone's door and get shot... And the headline is the 'no solicitors' sign at the door 😱
bro lol just say you're racist.
Even if he was soliciting, he didn't deserve to be fucking shot. What a completely insane take.
So what? You ghouls.
2 million views and less than 300 likes. How have you not deleted this and apologized, then fired everyone involved?
are you fucking kidding me, you fucking ghouls
Cool sign, still murder
So?
What is the point of this?
Hey post, please cease to exist, cheers love
Yarl wasn’t a solicitor, so I’m not sure why you felt the need to publish this. PS - Been annoyed by solicitors in the past. Never shot any of them, though.
He wasn’t soliciting, your racist twits. He was at the wrong house picking up his brothers. Even if a person goes up to a house to solicit, it’s not a freaking death sentence. You people will excuse an angry white man every single time. Disgusting.
Thanks! I need to clean the dog 💩 off my shoe and this’ll work perfectly 👍🏼
What an insensitive and disgusting headline and post
Well he wasn’t a damn solicitor. He wasn’t selling anything. He was there to pick up his siblings. Sign or no sign doesn’t warrant being shot!
This is some low shit, even for the nyp
The pole smoking continues
Well, he wasn't a solicitor, so...
And?
Is this a bad joke?
DIGUSTING! He was lost and black. It was a hate crime. And even if someone rings the doorbell to sell something with said sign posted, it does not warrant an ASSUALT OR DEATH PENALTY.
I can’t believe James Bond wasted so much time an energy getting a licence to kill when he could’ve just bought a ‘No Solicitors’ sign.
And therefore…what?
is that really the fucking takeaway for y’all
People that aren't open and raging white supremacists, what exactly do you like about the nypost?
So what? What’s your point? The Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch, so there’s a good chance everything they publish is a Lie!!
Wow sad journalist day.
Ya’ll are horrible & trying to defend this man is blatant racism & is dangerous.
The NY Post is trash.
Ronny Reyes....DO BETTER!! What a sick headline. And, by your past name, if your Hispanic butt had rang the doorbell, you would've been shot 4xs. DO BETTER
You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Does KC have a law that grants immunity for shooting people on your doorstep if you have one of these signs? How is that relevant otherwise?
Really? That’s your takeaway.
Okay but he wasn't soliciting... Also are you suggesting that being shot multiple times is just something you should expect if you knock on the door of someone's house if they have a 'no solicitors' sign?
Craven racist bullshit once again
Wow, what an irresponsible and unprofessional lede. Do people at ever think before they write?
The lengths you people go to justify shooting innocent black people
What difference does that make? I have that sign, too, but that doesn't mean I have free reign to shoot JWs who knock on my door.
Aren’t you guys supposed to be a major national media outlet? Why would you, as a major national media outlet, attempt to justify the shooting of an unarmed child? Unless that’s how you want to represent your outlet. In case you weren’t sure, his skin color is not a weapon.
Sign or not, if he thought this was the house he needed to pick up his siblings, he did the correct thing. He went to the door, not to solicit but to get his siblings. He wasn’t selling cookies. The old man should rot in jail.
He. Wasn't. Soliciting. Sickening post implying that he deserved to get shot. Even if he was soliciting (again he wasn't ), it still wouldn't give the homeowner the right to shoot him!
Y’all remain
This headline. Wow.
So what?
DISGUSTING NYP!! So, it's OK to try and murder a boy because of the sign This is sick!! DO BETTER!!!
I know when I have solicitors at my door my first response is to always fire a gun.
Solicitors means sales. Nothing else. It could have been a cop, a neighbor, a fireman IT WAS A CHILD!
NY Post was always garbage except for the sports section.
He wasn't fucking soliciting! And even if he were, that sign doesn't give the homeowner the right to shoot him!
IRRELEVANT. This child was not soliciting! 🤦🏻♀️
And what the fuck does that matter here?
fuck the New York post, not even reading the article.
WTF is wrong with you for this headline 😠
So that makes the shooting OK? You people are part of the problem.
And...? GFY.
Does this mean I get to blast Jehovah's Witnesses if I simply put up a no soliciting sign?
But…he wasn’t soliciting? Maybe the sign should’ve said-do not knock I will shoot you in the head.
Someone should find Ronny Reyes and [REDACTED] him.
Did Andrew Lester pay y'all to write this?
Holy fuck what a headline!
Good thing he wasn't a solicitor, right... asshole
He WASN’T soliciting you slime balls!!!!
Wow the New York Post goes full races, not clicking on this trash. New York Post can go f*** itself.
Well it’s a good thing he wasn’t soliciting, otherwise he would’ve been justified shooting him.
NYPost leading the race to the bottom.
Welp, that shoulda clear everything with the judge. Kid should've known better. Apologies to Mr. Shooter. Thanks, NY Post and Ronny Reyes for the exceptional journalistic job.
May you never have a solid shit again. This is the worst framing imaginable.
YOU ARE EVIL SOULLESS DEGENERATES
Whose job is it to approve headlines at NY Post? They shouldn’t be around to do it tomorrow. Or ever again.
1. Is picking up your brother “soliciting”? 2. Does this give a person the right to shoot a solicitor for no other reason?
While you’re here, go ahead and block New York Post.
Who gives a fuck? Do I get to blow a hole in every Mormon or Jehovah Witness who knocks on my door too?
But he wasn't soliciting to begin with? 16 year old boy attempting to pick up twin siblings goes to wrong house and is shot in the head because he missed a tiny no solicitors sign? You should have warmed up before you stretched so hard like that. Embarrassing
Y’all hate black folks huh?
Well since the kid wasn’t a solicitor I’m not sure what the fuck your point is.
This is low even for the NY ComPost.
Even for your shitty publication this is beneath you.
So that means he can fucking shoot someone? Even if they WERE a solicitor? Hey, why don't you guys do us all a favor and go knock on Andrew Lester’s door. I hear he’s home
Oh, well I guess it's ok to murder anyone who comes to your door as long as you have that sign up.
What in the living hell does that have to do with anything?
What a ridiculous headline. Since when is that a justification to shoot anyone, let alone a child?
Ahhhh ok so that makes it OK for him to get shot twice. Dude, how about we put 'No School Shooters' outside of schools?! Would that work?
And the conservative rag strikes again with redefining what solicitation and crime is🤡
He wasn't soliciting.
Well he wasn't a solicitor, he thought he was at the house to pick up his brother. Am I allowed to just shoot anyone who comes up to my door that I don't want now? Is that the America Fox Corp and Fox News wants?
And he wasn't soliciting, so what? And a no soliciting sign doesn't warrant you to kill people. It quite literally has no legal weight
He wasn’t a solicitor. WTAF with this headline Editor at should be reprimanded. Literally evil headline designed to victim blame.
I have a No Solicitors sign but I don't just shot everyone that still rings my doorbell. The New York Post is a total Rag of a so called 'newspaper' Gross, shame on you.
Who gives a shit? That’s meaningless.
Just because I have a no solicitors sign, doesn’t mean I’m gonna shoot the jehovas witnesses that come knocking. You know exactly what it is, and why the other neighbors refused to help Ralph. 🤡
Considering he wasn’t soliciting, this whole article is irrelevant
That sign does not fit the requirements for a “no trespassing” sign. Also trespassing in Missouri is an infraction, not even a crime, and punishable by a $200 FINE not two gun shots.
Kid wasn’t soliciting. GFY
This ain’t it NY Post.
Absolutely psychotic to report this as though it's relevant.
He wasn’t a solicitor idiot
I guess the New York Post thinks a 'No Solicitors' sign is a license to murder?
Oh, well then, that changes everything.
Ronny Reyes, the trash reporter who purposely wrote this trash piece.
SO! AND?
Wtf
What the fuck…?
He was not a solicitor. He meant to pick up his siblings and thought he had reason to be at the house. Ya think dude would have shot at the gas company or the Amazon delivery person? Quit blaming the victim!
He wasn't soliciting anything, you absolute ghouls.
I have a similar sign on my door. You know what I don't do? I don't shoot children through my door because I'm not a racist POS.
He wasn’t soliciting. Even if he was that doesn’t justify the use of deadly force.
He wasn’t soliciting!!!
He wasn’t soliciting so wtf is this headline?
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Well, then. Fire away!
New Low for the ny post. Which is impressive considering the bar was literally just rolling on the ground.
You have absolutely no shame to frame this story in this manner. I'm willing to bet the people responsible for this headline also believe that if they were to be lost and ring a random doorbell, they wouldn't deserve to be shot. Why is it any different for Ralph Yarl?
Y’all will find any reason to justify attempted homicide
This is disgusting
Exactly why we execute people who park in “no parking” zones. Right? 🙄
get out of my city
Just when I thought 'journalism' couldn't sink any lower, NYT never fails to lower the bar... Disgusting!🤮😏
Absolute garbage racist and unconscionable framing here.
These comments have some heat to them!
That doesn't give you the right to shoot someone.
Y'all are disgusting. Absolute scum.
When they tally up all the scum of the earth one day, the writer of this article will be included. What vile, repulsive and inhumane creature you are! 🤮
🖕🤬🖕 he wasn’t a solicitor you fucking hacks. He didn’t deserve to be shot twice for accidentally knocking on the wrong door.
How do o you ghouls sleep ?
That is a stupid point, he wasn't selling a damn thing...
He was there to pick up his twin siblings, so please explain, other than trying to make excuses, why this is relevant in any way, shape, or form.
Racist NRA-fellating rag sezwhutnow?
And? What if a salemen didn't notice the sign? Does that mean that they can shoot someone?
GFY
I have a 'no solicitors' sign. I own firearms. I never shot at anybody that had ignored the sign.
Fuck you
Someone should be fired over this tweet...
He wasn’t soliciting. No more mail or deliveries to this address…EVER! PostShamesItself
'no solicitors' equals shoot the fucker dead then, right? That's what you're saying? For the life of me, I can't figure out what other meaning you're suggesting by providing the context of 'no solicitors'
New Yorkkk Post
Man who shot teen for no reason fights back by pointing out something that is still NO REASON to shoot someone. There, fixed it for you.
What a gross Tweet. Shame on you
And…? He thought he was picking up his siblings. So we should shoot all people soliciting at doors?
This is not an excuse for attempted murder.
So what?
So?
What does it feel like to be bringing up the rear of humanity?
Aaaaaaaand even then, he wasn’t soliciting? Y’all are pathetic man
Such infuriating nonsense!
I have pizza guys, election canvassers, Mormons, vacuum salespeople, the census bureau, Boy Scouts and neighbors knocking on my door periodically. I’m proud to say that despite my only being interested in the pizza, I have never shot at any of these people.
Hell isn't hot enough for whoever wrote and approved of this article.
You have genuinely hit a new low. There really is *no* bottom for you guys is there?
Are you aware that a 'No Solicitors' sign does not give the person who lives there the right to shoot anyone? Everyone who was involved in this headline should be ashamed.
What a disgusting headline. As if that justifies shooting a person who rang your doorbell. The kid wasn't selling anything, so the fucking sign didn't apply to him. Do better.
You should be ashamed to even include this in the article. He was not soliciting so the sign is irrelevant.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Disgusting tweet
A no solicitor sign now means ok to shoot? You should be embarrassed.
And?
So?
Not clear enough. It should have said 'Warning! ⚠️ Dangerous, Paranoid, Right-Wing-Media-Brainwashed Old Man with a Gun'.
So what. A no solicitors sign doesn’t automatically create a self defense, stand your ground or castle doctrine claim.
He wasn't a solicitor, he was PICKING UP HIS TWIN BROTHERS. Keep making excuses for racist behavior from angry white men, it's how Murdoch's whole empire survives, excusing horrible white men.
This is a VILE tweet. Delete it.
Screw you post
Oh, so you can shoot people as long as you put up a sign. Kay. Huh. Well that explains EVERYTHING. That just changes the whole context of the encounter doesn't it? Boy, here I am thinking there's no way to justify shooting someone just because the knocked on your door, but now...
Teen was picking up younger brothers & got address wrong. Not there to solicit anything! Our country is experiencing one horrific event after another. Everybody has a gun & they will shoot other humans no matter their innocence. What happened to “love thy neighbor”? Evil & hatred
That's not even a sign, it's just a clear decal. You had to highlight so that people would notice it. The shooter is an asshole and I hope Ralph Yarl, his family and his entire community get justice and recompense.
Wow!!! Could you be any more racist? Damn.
Eat dog feces
And?
WTF? You need to delete this racist and horribly insensitive headline. And this poor child wasn’t even a solicitor and since when can we blow the head off the person trying to peddle junk at our doors?
And your effort to destroy the country continues unabated.
so?
He wasn’t a solicitor, you vile trash cans.
Who cares?
If the old coot didn’t want any solicitors, he didn’t have to answer the doorbell.
Whoever wrote this should delete it and also delete themselves.
Who give AF what sign that murderer had on his door! 🤬
He wasn’t a solicitor, and it doesn’t give you the right to SHOOT someone!
So?
Since Ralph was not 'soliciting' but believed he was picking up his brothers as his mother had asked him t do, it makes no damn difference. Stop being so damn predictably ugly, NYP. Stop being a tabloid cliche.
What the actual fuck
So t. f. what?
He wasnt soliciting and had he been thats not grounds to murder
AND? Do you think that justifies shooting someone TWICE through a door
And what’s your point? No seriously… This is disgusting.
Oh wow. Imagine working at this trash 'newspaper'. You're all despicable.
What does that have to do with anything? The young man wasn't soliciting. If a solicitor shows up at this man's house would he be justified in shooting that person simply because he has a posted sign. NO!
So tf what?
Okay and? My apartment complex does too but I had no desire to shoot the mormons that come to my door anyways
He wasn't soliciting. He was at the wrong house. And apparently it's ok to shoot missionaries now.
You understand that posting a No Solicitors sign doesn’t give you the right to shoot people, right?
Gross headline a$$hats!
So fucking what
Man, you people are soulless.
So what? He wasn’t soliciting. And even if someone were to be soliciting, that stupid sign doesn’t give the homeowner the right to shoot them.
OMG. That doesn't give you the right to shoot someone that rings your doorbell.
Are we now allowed to shoot solicitors? How about bill collectors? You screwed up, NYP.
Are you serious now...? You're going to try to blame the victim and justify this shooting because of some sign? There's no bottom for you, eh?
This child wasn’t soliciting, he was trying to pick up his little brothers, who he thought were in the house. What the hell is wrong with you? (JK, I know what’s wrong with you. You’re another Murdoch-owned racist rag.)
Yeah and I have a no trespassing sign and I live in a gated community, doesn't mean I'm gonna start blasting if a stranger rings my doorbell unexpectedly. GTFO of here with that.
He was NOT soliciting!
Wow. Way to victim blame a child. He wasn’t selling anything — and it’s still a crime to shoot someone at your door even if you do have a stupid sign.
Having a No Solicitors sign does not give someone the right to shoot someone who comes to their door. What the hell is wrong with people?
Always looking to justifying the murder or injury of Black people. 🤬Sit down. Ralph was picking up his siblings from a friend’s house. THAT IS NOT SOLICITATION.
He wasn't sollictiting so as usual your reporting sucks and everything can be flushed down with the rest of the shit you produce.
And all around the city, the New York Post's racist readers let out a collective sigh of relief: 'Ahh, see, the kid didn't comply.'
Leave it to the terminally racist New York Post to offer up excuses for trigger-happy white people shooting black children.
That is a soulless tweet.... who posted that? Well, their name is not important, but a human being entered that message and then hit tweet. What want to know is what did it feel like doing that?
Are you arguing the shooter is justified?
And?!?! He thought it was where he was picking his brother up! You’re a disgraceful newspaper.
So, is it the Post's position that because he had a no soliciting sign, he was entitled to shoot anyone who came near his front door? Just want to be clear.
Lol…so no solicitors means shot on sight. Bro shut down your Twitter.
Yeah I have one right next to my doorbell and EVERYONE ignores it. They either say they didn’t see it (bullshit) or they’re not there to sell me anything (also bullshit). So I look out the window and if I don’t know the person ringing, I don’t open the door. It’s very simple.
Maybe some spoken words before you try to blow another human being's head off? The gun has practically become a method of communication in the US. Nobody talks. Nobody tries to de-escalate. It's a horrible devaluing of human life.
Gay kaken afn yam
He wasn’t soliciting anything…
Was he soliciting?
You are the absolute worst and it isn’t even close.
me when i put up a sign that says everyone who stops by my house owes me $100 and then get mad when my lawsuit against the mailman gets thrown out because that’s just not how shit works
he wasn't soliciting? this is irrelevant?
The fuck does that have to do with anything?
So what, it’s now justified to shoot anyone that rings your doorbell?
And?
Well he wasn’t there to solicit so…
as if someone trying to sell you shit would even be an excuse to murder them
Y’all are top tier disgusting
Kids are not solicitors
I didn't know you could possibly get even worse than you already are? Your news publication is like toilet paper that people use to wipe the shit out of their ass. A grown man just bout murdered a child and this is what your shitty 'news' publication has to say? Garbage.
Ok and? The kid, gonna say it again, THE KID. Knocked on the wrong door. Simple mistake. There is, and I mean this 100%, no justification for shooting someone in the head just because they knicked on your door. None. Absolutely zero. There is no argument that can justify it.
well, he wasn’t a solicitor anyway so now what
This is such a pussy headline: if you're going to say it was okay for a white man to shoot a black kid, just say it. This is cowardice and still racism.
So? He wasn’t soliciting. He was sent the wrong address by accident. Even if he were soliciting, you can’t shoot people for that.
Lucky the teen accidentally knocking on the wrong door was not soliciting, then.
Ohhhhhhh, guess that makes it ok, then. You lot need to have a serious word with yourselves.
Relevance ? Picking someone up is soliciting now ? That headline is a disgrace to journalism.
“I’m not racist, I just want to know if there’s any single reason for me to blame It on the kid” -Racist people in the comments
Is the need for clicks and engagement that bad?
'no soliciting' doesn't mean 'ring my doorbell and I'll shoot' it means 'no selling of business' ie: no fliers, no religious folks etc. (Most of which isn't going to ring your doorbell at 1030 at night, that's illegal)
This headline is purposefully misleading, trying to minimize fault. Sad.
Are y'all seriously justifying shooting a child?
What the fuck do you suggest he was soliciting?
Well, he wasn’t selling anything & the punishment for doing so isn’t death, so what’s the point? Are you telling me this psycho old man felt in his right to shoot Girl Scouts? I’ve seen enough. Take away the guns.
Well it's a good thing he wasn't soliciting isn't it?
🖕🏾
Ringing a doorbell isn't solicitation buddy.
The writer of this title gets the wall
He wasn't a Solicitor. And even if he was, that doesn't justify GETTING SHOT!
Ok?
Ringing a doorbell isnt solicitation.
New York Post is not fit to line a canary cage
Epic New York Post implying that solicitors can be shot on sight
Y’all trying to break the record for worst headlines ever?
So what?
gross headline what the fuck
and it’s a reason to shoot a kid? yall better get help
ListComesForAll
So. F**king. What.
when you're a racist newspaper
when you're a racist newspaper
ah great! that must mean he was justified in shooting a 16 year old kid in the head it totally justifies his unneeded aggression
We're not trying to phrase this as though attempted murder is excused by a sticker you can buy for $3 at lowes, right
He wasnt soliciting so this is completely inconsequential
Well he wasn’t soliciting, you heinous evil clickbait ghouls
and? even if he WAS soliciting that's not a reason to open fire on him jesus christ
Who shoots a fucking child?!
Who would possibly give a shit about that
You're really gonna do this, huh.
That man who shot the poor kid must be brought to jail at all cost
Oh! well, that makes shooting a child twice totally ok!
The dog whistle translation is that apparently he had it coming.
He wasn’t soliciting you ghouls
Oh well then he was totally justified in shooting a mere boy
SO F*CKING WHAT? HE SHOT A CHILD WHO WASN'T SOLICITING ANYTHING.
Who cares? Whatever real person decided to tweet this, it's not too late to discover the love of humanity in your soul, quit your job, repent and get right with God. I'm serious. Please consider these words.
ok, and?
ok first of all he went to the wrong house going to pick up his siblings so how fucking dare you try to justify the shooting of an unarmed 16 year old by showing some picture of a small print no soliciting sign by the door. Your disgusting so how about you take this down.
The people behind New York Post are just straight up Klansman even the blind can see. Helping to create more home grown terrorists
So fucking what Why do you feel this is newsworthy, to defend the homeowner
Oh phew, so it wasnt a senseless murder attempt, that's good
On what planet was he soliciting
OK? he wasn't selling anything, or trying to proselytize, he was looking for his family
what a deranged headline.
Be careful America, this story is being promoted to feed the divide in this nation. Be good to your neighbors and do not let them divide us more.
Who cares?
It should’ve been you.
This makes sense how?
Y'all be reaching reaching... Your rag mag knows damn well he wasn't there soliciting... 🙄 But I guess having a staff full of sick puppies to write the crap you all do garners a lot of attention. Relevancy is a helluva drug. 🥴
Sure, ok, but he wasn't soliciting, so what your point? There isnt a sign for no moltov's.... 🤔
That doesn’t mean you can shoot someone
And? What is your point? He wasn't soliciting, he went to pick up his siblings and had the wrong address. Are you seriously implying it's the kid's fault, and not the bastard that shot an unarmed teen twice for doing nothing more than existing near him?
Soliciting isn't a capital crime you pathetic loser
And?
Seeing as he wasn’t soliciting I don’t see how this is relevant to the story
How is this an actual, honest to God article? NYT - Be honest here. Are you just openly racist at this point, or just completely incompetent at basic journalism?
How do you people sleep at night? If I wrote what y’all deserve id get sussed. There will be consequences for the racist things you write someday.
Wow. Siding Blatant Racism In Journalism …. It Never Ends. 👀🪭✨
he wasn’t soliciting. next question
Oh well execution of people that approach the door for any reason is fine then. Thanks for clarifying! 🙏🏻
As we all know, of course, a ‘no solicitors’ sign gives you the freedom to gun down anyone you want on your property unprovoked
Kids ringing the doorbell on the wrong house by mistake are solicitors now? Also, a “no solicitors” sign means you can kill on sight now? What justification bs is this
It's monsterous to imply that a boy, or anyone else, deserves violence for ignoring a no soliciting sign even if it applies to them. Whoever wrote this has parents who failed to raise a functioning human being.
Irrelevant fact.
So you can shoot people in the head in Missouri if you have a no solicitors sign? Ralph Yarl wasn't soliciting. He was picking up his little brothers.
Are there any pictures of the front door with broken glass or bullet holes through it?
Ronny Reyes 1315 News Avn, Elmont, NY 11003-3347 (516) 305-5506
He wasn't soliciting so what's the point?
I have a no soliciting sign and I've never answered the doorbell with a gun.
Ralph Yarl, a 👉16-yr-old child👈, WASN'T SOLICITING, you low-info, race-baiters, he was PICKING UP HIS LITTLE BROTHERS. And he accidently went to 115th Street instead of 115th Terrace--a mistake even ignorant bigots ought to be able to comprehend. PureEvil DeleteYourNewspaper
Who cares? The kid wasn't soliciting
Even by your “standards”, this is vile
Since he wasn't soliciting and the sign isn't an excuse for murder, what the fuck was your problem besides being a racist rag?
Wait so is this implying anyone knocking on a door with a no soliciting sign is free game to shoot? If not why did you write this headline?
well that solves that whole mess.
I hope the author of this tweet looks at the picture of their wife who left them a long time ago, cries, jacks off silently, and remembers that they were never loved
I hope you all get to experience the side effects of adding uranium to your diet
You guys are pretty morally bankrupt but this is genuinely revolting.
Y'all really are ghouls
Oh, on second thought, the kid DID deserve to be shot and killed
No solicitors doesn't mean you can shoot someone, hope this clears up your misconception (dogwhistle)
What does that mean, New York Post? What's the implication?
Are you trying to defend this
And? That still doesn't give someone the right to shoot him for knocking on the damn door.
What the fuck does that have anything to do with it? My god...
I mean... So? Its a murder plain and simple.
I wish whoever wrote this knocked on the door instead
Come on… don’t tell this is how y’all want to justify this boy getting short in the head. That is not even a little bit of a valid reason to shoot someone.
Did you know!?! Even if someone is trying to sell something at your door....it's ILLEGAL AND BAD to shoot them?
oh come the fuck on
He wasn’t ‘Soliciting’, he was looking for his brothers.
What does the police report say, exactly? 🤔
He wasn't soliciting. Next.
What do you expect when your major cities are all run by defund the police democrats who have been working tirelessly to make their cities lawless. People get on edge when they’re scared.
He wasn't anywhere near coming off as a solicitor. Stop lying and slandering an innocent child, you disgusting heathens.
I don’t care at all about these race baiting stories. A mob of black kids beat the hell out of a white woman in Chicago this weekend and it’s crickets from the media
This is not news. He also had a mailbox. Is that tomorrow’s story
I’m sorry, no solicitors does not mean “or I have the right to shoot you”. What the hell is wrong with people. Our country is in a constant state of fear now. 🤦♀️
Man you guys really had your Thinking Caps on, trying real hard to justify shooting a child.
ffs
And? He wasn't selling encyclopedias.
That doesn't mean shit
How has everyone who works for you not resigned in embarrassment. I’m pretty sure the average dog is a better journalist than whoever you have writing for you.
You all are the most disgusting embarrassment to journalists but you already know that
So what? No way he'd have the same reaction if a white persons car broke down and they went to his door for help
He wasn’t soliciting. And that piece of crap is dying in prison.
Who asked?
Is this satire ?
Disgusting headline even for your trash rag
O that's his defense That sign he has up. America will allow this bc he wasn't supposed to be on his porch
Has no solicitors always meant you can start shooting when you hear the doorbell?
my neighborhood also has a no solicitors sign but we’re not out here shooting everybody that knocks on our door
Most ppl made up their mind about this when they heard the kid is black & the old man white. Let's get real. They've already got the mob riled up on racism hysteria & they want an excuse to do stuff
well i guess he’s innocent then
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
He wuz just gettin' some skittles and iced tea while picking up his siblings on their way to Sunday school
Will this similar story get national attention, or does it lack the necessary racial component to be sensational?
Are... are you serious?!
The New York Poat is so racist, this headline is not even surprising.
Oh? I have one too. Is that a license to kill?
Even if he were soliciting, that does not give you the right to shoot someone (twice! One shot 'to make sure they're dead'). He was a child looking to pick up his siblings though.. how is this relevant?!
Way to victim blame a child. If this kid was white this headline would be attacking the shooter
Touch case, it can go either way.
Life in jail
?
The 'scholar' couldn't read a simple sign?
Nobody knows the facts yet!!!! SO S.T.F.U.
How about reporting on the 3 white teens killed in Florida....
Deserved.
Fine, and we can all possess guns legally. But we can't go shooting them off unless there's a real good reason, no matter the circumstances. Could have been a policeman knocking too.
This is one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen you do.
Did the story say the boy is home and released from the hospital?
He’ll be fine
Interesting 🤔
Good thing he WASNT soliciting then, huh 🙄
Mine says No Ni**ers
If you were trying to incite a race war, what would you do differently?
When the racist white establishment tries to frame an unwarranted attack on a black child as if it’s his fault for ringing a DOORBELL when there was a no solicitor sign tells you why Murdoch is the cancer in our society…
Dark fucking Onion headline
So that justifies this racial attack? New York Post keeps proving it's connection to WS
He was there to pick up his siblings and made a mistake of which house it was. And even an actual solicitor doesn’t deserve to be shot because a sign is up.
It still was a mistake by a kid. I also didn’t know that if I put up a No Solicitors sign that I could legally shoot somebody at my front door without asking any questions.
Something that 80 year old man would have missed if he was in front of someone else's home. And going to the wrong house to pick up your sibling does not make you a solicitor.
I am super pro 2a, and think castle doctrine is one of the best things ever. But if someone just rang the bell, even I can't get behind popping them in the head. Either there is more to the story, or the dude who shot the kid needs to be locked up. This story doesn't make sense
Also he entered the house.
You guys continue to be scum of the earth
Case closed
Did he enter the house?
