The report said a knife. As to being shot. Did you go out late at
night when you were 15, dressed in black with a black head covering?
Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, probably is a duck. Did not
really need a weapon,
but something shiny in the hands of a person dressed as a cat burglar
in
the middle of the night, should be assumed to be a weapon.

However, Connecticut is a Castle Doctrine state not a Stand Your
Ground
state. Without the knife, you have a duty to retreat. With the
knife,
it's self defense. When you go outside the safety of your home, with
a
gun, you run the risk.

Well, it's pretty clear the guy had every legal right to shoot here in
CT based on what we (who actually looked) know so far. Should be a wash
as CT is not a swing state, the DNC doesn't need an election prop here
like in the Florida case...

What if in the near future someone did the same to your kid? We would
then see how justified you think it is.

My kids did not sneak out at night and look to be robbing people. They
were
raised with morals.

Where do you get the notion that the kid was "robbing people"? As to
morals, it matters not. Kids are kids, and if raised right, have minds
of their own and at that age, sometimes that mind doesn't think
rationally.
--------------------
the fact the neighbor called saying that someone was trying to break in, the
kid had a knife and was dressed for hiding in the dark, and the fact that
the kid should have been in bed asleep at the time, the dad would not expect
it to be his kid dressed for crime, flashing a knife. You mind does not
seem to work rationally and I figure you are out of your teens.
