More people have died from hammers and clubs then rifles..

Agreed. Although one would've thought that if the mum and 2 kids were in the house, then the lights must be on (so must be a pretty dumb burglar). I reckon the moment he found the three people hiding in the closet he would've tried to run for it, rather than do anything dangerous to them. Sucks to be him either way.

It was 1pm, so no lights probably.

Yeah, poor criminals. We shouldn't obstruct their right to break and enter.

I don't think breaking and entering should be met with death. If he were there to commit murder or rape or even assault I think it'd be an acceptable outcome. But simply stealing stuff doesn't warrant being shot in the face.

I'd rather just give someone money rather than have to shoot them. I don't want that on my conscience.

She didn't answer the door? So he thought no one was home... Burglars aren't looking to rape and kill you, they want your stuff. And they like to take it without any interruptions.

Has there ever been instances where burglars have injured/raped/killed the person of which they're burglaring?

Yeah...I'm sure the dude is willing to have a conversation right there about what his intentions are.

"Hey man, so is it cool if I steal your stuff?"

"Yeah dude, go right ahead. Take everything in my house man. I'll just sit here and chill."

wait wut?

Don't tell me your defending the burglar for ****s sake.. That burglar made attempt to steal and I'm sure he would have had no problem in doing something more serious if one of the kids perhaps saw him.

I can't believe you act like the guy is innocent lol. Just give him a slap on the wrist and everything is fine!

That is so messed up. It isn't responsible to shoot an unarmed man who was probably looking for a couple of hundred dollars in the face. The fact he was incessantly ringing the door bell means that he was definitely making sure no one was home.

How does she know the burglar was unarmed? She was hiding in the closet wasn't she?

Sure, but statistically it would be rare. Plus a certain amount of injuries and deaths would be attributable to the fact that home owners arm themselves (leading burglars to also carrying weapons).

I was talking hypothetically not literally. Given the option I would pay them so I wouldn't have to shoot them. I'm not out for blood.

No he isn't innocent, he should be charged with whatever crimes he has committed. But shooting people over televisions or cash isn't any type of justice.

I can only go off of what I've read so far, and as far as I can infer he was only there to burgle.

You've officially gone off the deep end mate.

[miller-time]

lol

?

It is only logical. If your target has a weapon then you either need to pick a new target or you need to arm yourself too.

[miller-time]

You've officially gone off the deep end mate.

How?

[shlver]

How?

Because you cannot use hindsight to judge her actions. She was hiding from the intruder, not prepared to shoot him in the face as he walked through the door.
