Lind has a “sword sticking through him,” kills one of the guys that attacked him, and teh DA is thinking of charging Lind?? Sounds like utter insanity. Or California.
I’m not sure that is what happened.
The article is written in 202os’ “word salad” style where you can’t tell who did what to who or what the result was, or even how many people were involved. But it says that the two arrested were arrested for the death of a “fellow squatter”, which implies that neither of the two was the property owner.
Nowhere in the posted part of the article do they affirmatively state that the impaling did not kill the property owner, which should have been established in the same sentence that first mentions the impaling.
