Climbing in a stranger's window in the middle of the night

is a pretty
dangerous thing to be doing.

He might have about 10 seconds to explain himself but it

would not
take much belligerence to shorten that window.

Good answer. In 10 seconds you'd probably find he's drunk

and in the
wrong house.

Fortunately I have a big yellow dog that handles most of

that 10
second interchange. That takes me off of the hair trigger

status and
gives me time to assess the situation. I really do not want

to shoot a
neighbor's kid, even if he was a burglar but if I felt my

family was
threatened, bang bang.

I assume that JPS has never had to deal with a belligerent

drunk.

My prior work used to put me in touch with them frequently.

And no
one said the kid was beligerent. He was doing what 1000 kids

did this
past weekend after too much to drink, they were trying to

sneak into
their own houses undetected. Unfortunately this kid wasn't

busted by
his parents but an overeager asshole who shot before he could

properly
assess the situation.

And now he'll live with the image of having killed someone's

child who
meant no harm to him. The kid was just trying to go home.

Sickening and there are plenty of idiots in this group

calloused
enough to find justification. This country is ****ing nuts.

I do hope you educate your kids about the perils of breaking and
entering in the nighttime.

No one was breaking and entering. Went through an open window

into
what he thought was his own house.

The guy who shot him looks to be a loon. I understand how you

might
easily relate to him. Perhaps you should reach out to your

fellow
loon in his hour of need.

Sorry, I don't probe the sordid details of these incidents of

yours.
Be sure to educate your children about the perils of leaving

windows
open at night.

Maybe you could get Harry to come over and educate you and the

kids
about how to deal with things that go bump in the night.



You competing for the scummy asshole award with the snot nosed

freak?

How does that sticks and stones rhyme go? Your juvenile remarks are
wasted on me and probably any other poster with good sense.
