You walked up on someone else’s property and into their HOME just to look around?
Do you do that to people who are renovating their homes also after a flood or something?
Tell me. Had the homeowner been there and pulled a gun on him for being on his property and he attacked the homeowner, would you still be defending him?
You’ve apparently never been around new construction. I walked around ‘my home’ while it was under construction, and other homes under construction in the development as well.
I think you’re blowing this way out of proportion. Just because he was inside a house under construction DOESN’T mean he was casing it for later.
If you want to believe that he must have been guilty of something, I would say your prejudice (in the textbook definition of it) is clouding your reasoning - but that is your right.
