I can see it happening to a drunken person... Tough to know what "markers" led the kid to the wrong house or which direction he came from, how he enters his "cookie cutter" window when he's drunk and gets to the right house, the lighting, etc....

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. The window was open? No screen? The guy didn't have the looks you like? Well ****. No wonder you're ****ed. Salmonbait -- 'Name-calling'...the liberals' last resort. |

Christians, no doubt. ------------------------------------- Castle laws may give you legal authority but I'd have to be more convinced that the intruder was an immediate threat to me or my wife before I'd open fire. Shooting someone is pretty serious stuff. Depending on his motives, you might not have much time to make up your mind. But according to harry, it's a no brainer. According to everything harry has said over the years, the kid would have been dead at his home too... I don't shoot in the dark, d.f. If an obviously drunk kid broke in and he wasn't wielding any sort of weapon, I'd simply get him down on the floor and call the police. Now, if the intruder were a short little greasy **** adult male who broke in and he looked like you, I'd assume it was a home invasion and act accordingly. |
Whoops, wrong house.

Give me a break. Would you have offered him tea and cookies? Imagine what a schmuck you'd feel like if you didn't give the kid 10 seconds to explain himself and found that you'd just shot your neighbor's kid who was too drunk to know the difference between houses. You want to carry that kind of weight around for the rest of your life, like your compatriots here? Ya'll put up a brave face but I have to wonder how many nights you'd sit awake wondering how that kid's father and mother feel. The callous responses here are astounding.

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. |
