Bronx Man Gets 40 Years in Egg Shooting

Wed Dec 8,12:39 AM ET

NEW YORK - A Bronx man who shot two 16-year-old boys for throwing an egg at him, killing one and leaving the other permanently injured, was sentenced Tuesday to at least 40 years in prison, prosecutors said.

Shawn Green, 23, was convicted in October of murder and attempted murder for the February 10, 2002, shooting that killed Darryl Jawan Hayes and critically injured Duwayne Cousins, said Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson.

The incident began that day when Hayes and Cousins threw an egg out of a window hitting Green as he was walking to work at a nearby Burger King, Johnson said.

Green waited for the teens to come out of the building. When they came downstairs, Green confronted them and a fist fight, which Green lost, broke out, Johnson said.

Furious that he had lost the fight, Green went home and got a gun and borrowed his mother's car. He then drove to a local bodega where the teens often hung out, and shot Hayes three times and Cousins once. The shooting was caught on the store's surveillance camera, Johnson said.

Hayes died shortly after being taken to a hospital. Cousins right lung was permanently injured, Johnson said.

Green, who had previous felony convictions, was sentenced by State Supreme Court Justice Megan Tallmer to consecutive terms of 25-years-to-life in prison for murder and 15-years-to-life for attempted murder. He would have to serve a minimum of 40 years in prison before becoming eligible for parole, Johnson said.

Good!

That guys deserves that, if not more!

idiot

How you figure he deserves 40 years for shootin those dudes for throwing eggs at him? They shouldn't have thrown eggs at him. The justice system is so sh**ty. I heard about this black man in Maryland who had his truck stolen by some black teenagers so he killed them & he ended up going to prison for it when all he was doing was protecting his vehicle. If you're gonna steal from somebody, get prepared to die cause if the person who catches you who owns whatever you stole from him or her, that's what's gonna happen.

No, they shouldn't have been throwing eggs, but that 1 guy didn't deserve to die because of it.

Well like i said when you mess with somebody, be prepared to die cause that's the real world. Nobody cares that the boy didn't deserve to die but he should've known better that he shouldn't have did what he did.

Those teens had it coming.

Sports Illustrated overdrew my account without my permission. Maybe I should go kill them and their families?

Exactly.

There's some crazy people in this world. You throw eggs at one there's no telling what they will do. I can't feel sorry for those teens one bit.

Oh yeah, some 8 year-old knocked over my food tray when I was at the St. Paul museum of Science. I should have broken his neck I guess.

There's a big difference between 8 and 16.

It doesn't matter, JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED. He's still guilty of making me mad.

You both need to get your "existing in the real world" licenses revoked.

Crazy ****ing bastards.

Yeah and somebody bumped into me in the crowded hall today, maye I should've slammed their head into a locker until they bled...

Throwing an egg out a window at somebody sounds like something my friends would do (well not an egg, maybe something less messy.)

Those teens had it coming.

They were fooling around, they didn't deserve to get shot.

Yeah, it was probably gross and it was rude but he didn't get hurt or harmed from it.

:rolleyes:

What the hell does throwing eggs have to do with stealing?

A lot of people would be dead around me if i killed everyone that pissed me off. That's no way to go about one's life.

At least I would hope so. ****.

Of course people shouldn't throw eggs, but does that mean you have to kill them for it?

Next thing you know if you throw a plastic cup of beer at someone they'll try and beat you to death.

Wait.

Oh, yeah...

I bet if those teens had slapped some chick on the ass and she shot them no one would be complaining.

You want to throw eggs on some guy you don't know be my quest. I'll be there to laugh when you get your ass kicked.

Maybe you should focus less on trying to be an ******* and more on brushing up on your reading comprehension skills.

There's a big ****ing difference between an ass kicking and killing someone.

You should stay away from betting.

That man got just what he deserved.

A couple of weeks ago as i was entering my building, I saw a woman arguing with a man in an SUV. I guess she wasn't crossing the street fast enough as he made the turn. I give the girl credit for trading verbal jabs with a man twice her size. As the girl turned and continued on her way, the guy in the SUV hurled a half full cup of soda in her direction, just missing her. He tried to assault another person - a woman mind you, over some trivial thing.

I'm not condoning what that guy did to those two teens. He was in the wrong.

But the bottom line is folks, it's a crazy world out there and you never know who you are going to provoke. You want to throw an egg at someone you want to say "F**K you" to some jerk a foot taller than you, go for it, but be prepared for the consequences.

I applaud you TJL. I definitely agree with what you said. When you mess with somebody, be prepared to deal with the consequences cause there are some crazy people out here. AKA & these other lame people who responded to this saying that the boy didn't deserve to die are living in a fantasy world.

There's a big difference between what you and TJL are saying. He's saying that stuff like this could realistically happen, which is true. You're saying that he had the absolute right to kill them. He isn't.

What's the point? My point is those d**kheads who threw the eggs at that guy deserved what they got. You don't mess with people like that. This isn't the 1800's LOL. Anything goes in the millenium cause more & more crazy things are happening everyday so don't be surprised at nothin. If somebody messed with me, i wouldn't kill them cause i don't wanna go to prison but i would wanna kick their asses. The way i see it, the guy who killed that boy was defending himself. You sensitive people are saying he shouldn't have killed the boy but in the real world, stuff like that happens.

"You sensitive people"??? You are out of your mind. I don't go around killing people because they pissed me off. There's a thing called right and wrong. You obviously don't get it!

ho ho ho

being my psychosociology-obsessed self, i thought i'd point out that isiah might have been grown up in a community of people who shoot eachother for egging their houses and tripping them. who knows. i've recently opened my mind to these types of possibilities because of the way so many people on this dumb ass board think some things i say are "sick" (ie thinking hitler is funny) and whatnot, and being that i analyze psychology and such i realized the reason i don't think it's "sick" is because i've grown up hearing all this in a neutral or positive way. and with that, there is nothing anyone can do to change my opinion. the earliest you learn things, the most difficult it will be to change your mind. if you grow up in a town with certain aspects, you're going to think it applies to the rest of the world. now if ewe all would excuse me i'm going to update my livejournal.

You sensitive people are saying he shouldn't have killed the boy but in the real world, stuff like that happens. Okay Isiah, I am going to give you a legal lesson as well as a moral one. Think you can handle it?

People only "deserve" to be killed by civilians when they feel that their life is in serious danger caused by the people they take action against. This is known as "self defense" and it is lawful. In "self defense" you are only allowed to use enough force that appears reasonably necessary in the situation. Eggs are not a serious enough "weapon" to warrant a shooting. Egging is against the law however, and the law should handle it. No one has the right to take the law into their own hands like you suggest. You may not like the legal system, but the way it is set up in self defense issues, is a whole lot better than your horrific ideas.

More importantly in this case, the egging incident has nothing to do with "defense." This guy that shot those boys, did so after the incident and it was done in revenge. How dare you say it was "defense," especially after that. It wouldn't have been legitimate defense if he shot them while being egged, and it certainly wasn't after the egging stopped. The article also discusses how the man was angry after losing a fist fight with the boys that HE started. That was also part of his revenge.

One thing you are correct about is that stuff like this does happen, and people are certainly at risk of a lunatic wrongfully harming them if they are "messing with them." It doesn't mean it should happen. Learn the difference.

And another thing: something you said that really disturbs me was that you would never do such a thing because you would be afraid of going to jail. How about not wanting to do such a thing because it is wrong to take a human life just because they "messed with you"? After reading a lot of your posts, I am concerned that you have a serious conscience problem, and help for you is in order. You don't seem to behave and think like a rational or sensible human being in many discussions. Whether you were brought up this way or not, it needs to stop. Unfortunately, you are probably going to continue being this ridiculous your whole life.

I knew someone would bring that up. first let me say that i don't like him as a person at all, and i certainly don't appreciate his death camps and murdering 6 million people just because they weren't like him. he was a douche, and i've found that out for myself after reading the book "night". it literally makes me cringe thinking of some of the ways he had people tortured. i really can't explain what's so amusing about him, but i can assure you it nothing to do with what happened in WWII. somehow he makes an ass out of himself just by appearing in documentaries and such, i start laughing whenever i see him on there screaming at everyone in german. and his moustache made him look even more hideous. i really can't think of any convincing ways to explain why he's funny though.. so i guess i'm stuck looking like an *******. :grr:

God, it was sad. I've always been interested in the Holocaust and books on them. I just don't understand how people can torture and kill so many like that.

And I get what you're saying. People who think they're right, but are dumb and full of **** and completely wrong CAN come off as funny.

On Topic? Sad.

The only slightly amusing thing about Hitler is that he looked like Ron Mael from Sparks.

Read the thread.

it's called anger management

both parties were wrong, just one went a bit too far

most grown men should have enough common sense to realize that death is not a suitable punishment for a couple of stupid teenagers egging him.

and "existing" in the world doesn't equal the number of times you kick someones ass for looking at your wrong. That man failed to "exisit"in this world by making such an unrational decision.


...back to my hole....
