Entering someone else's through a rear window? Give me a break.
Would you have offered him tea and cookies?

In some of these cookie cutter neighborhoods I might almost believe
you could walk in the wrong front door but if you are walking around
the house looking for a window you can get in, I have to believe it
would occur to you at some point that it wasn't your house.


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....

The kid wasn't armed, was drunk and a neighbor from two doors down.
This is what Merika has come to...

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.

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. Christians, no doubt.

Sub development with cookie cutter houses. I happens to people coming
home from work who aren't drunk.

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.

Oh brother, did you and harry talk about the "ten seconds" talking point
before hand? Cause 10 seconds is a lot of ****ing time even if nobody
has a weapon... Why not make it two? How about 45?

Learn to exchange ideas, then someone might take you seriously instead
of just laughing at you here...

Man, good thing we're not so gun crazy up here.
I remember a group of us staying in a cabin over on Prince Edward Island one year way back before I got married.
We arrived back from a nightclub and I walked into a darkened cabin, almost jumping into the bed before noticing it was occupied.
The guy and his girlfriend jumped up and started yelling.. so I stumbled out and made my way back to our cabin one or two units down.

Remember that gun nuts are frequently shooting and killing kin.

accidentally-shoots-kills-10-month-old-son-in-front-of-family?lite
I didn't bother chasing links. Just typed accident shot son in google.
So it's no surprise this kid got killed.
What's really funny is except for Eisboch, apparently none of the jokers
here have been "out of it" drunk, or seen an "out of it" drunk.
Makes you wonder about their life experience, morality, and judgment.

Depends on who is breaking in. If it is a 50+ year old little **** with
an ugly puss and an attitude breaking in, it is probably PsychoSnotty, a
guy who would be up to no good, according to all the threats he has made
here. He's not a kid and he wouldn't be a wayward drunk in our
neighborhood.
