It is not the cops fault. They get paid to dig for information (one of you has been looking in my OIG files, shame on you).

Flip the coin, the guy in the orange suit intruded on a young mother with sleeping children. There is bias present and this will be a public lynching. Or not.

Just observing attitude trends of the general populace. I personally have a victim mentality and would give evil people whatever they wanted just to make them go away. Then I would suffer guilt as I watched the neighbor get victimized by the same guy. Cabellas in Ft. Worth has eight check-out lines ...

This helps explain the Ted Nugent type attitude of southerners. They are tired of being victims and will take out attackers, intruders, trespassers with a vengeance. The public outcry is "good, one less that I have to deal with" In MN, there seems to be more tolerance for crime. They focus...

Or maybe he is crazy like a fox and knows exactly how to work the system. I got wind that he is a retired LEO that did international security. Anyone else know about such? A skill level of that caliber would change my POV.

Means - He MAY be armed, don't know, it is dark. Proximity- in my house, coming down the stairs, toward me. Intent - I have no idea, but I just peed my pants. I guess we need to divide this event into two separate shootings. The first WAS justified to stop an unknown threat, most would agree? Then, ...

My comments are posits, rather than opinion, designed to elicit educational information for my book report. Appreciate all input, and I hope others gain a tidbit of insight.

You are legally required to stop using deadly force when the threat is no longer present.... Like gasping for air while dying. You also have a legal obligation to render aid to the person you shot. Is that subjective, or prescribed in detail by the law? Is 'in your basement with no where else to re...

I wonder if the teens and any accomplice's get charged with two deaths resulting from the commission of a felony?

What is an operator?

We only have his word that he was a victim. How do you know this wasn't a drug deal gone south? Maybe he was going to buy those meds they had. Or maybe he was propositioning them for sex.

All good considerations.

Im a bit confused.. Just breaking in is not justification for lethal force right? That is correct. Entering without permission is a misdemeanor we call "Trespassing." Add damage to the door / window while breaking in, and we call it "Trespassing" and "Misdemeanor Damage to ...

I do not condone the mans actions. Using lethal force is always ugly, justified or not, and few of us are experienced to know how much is too much. It seems to be lost who the victim is. In some american culture, a horsethief caught in the barn goes straight to the hangin tree. I can't read the full...
