[F.J. Mitchell]

I personally have believed from the get go that the war on drugs was, is and always will be, the most disastrous , costly in terms of human lives lost and/or shattered and in tax-dollars flushed down the toilet of stupidity,and sadly self inflicted (potentially lethal)(suicidal?) wound, this country has ever suffered.

Despite the stupidity of the fools who declared the war on drugs in the first place and the jackasses who still wage it with all the rabid zeal of jihadist's in heat, this old timer was still way out of line. Whether the trespassers were cops or crooks and if a war on terror did not exist, you can't use lethal force against people you suspect to be pi$$ing on your prize winning roses.

You do have the right to call 911,turn off the interior lights, arm yourself with every weapon you own and blow away any and all who kick down your door and storm into your home without identifying themselves.

Florida law does not require one to cower within the confines of one's home when facing a potential threat to life and limb, neither one's own, nor others.

Now that I think about it, with the possible implications of Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law, these police officers might by subject to a charge of plain old murder.

that a nice load of horse$#!@ you have there. The rules change when you get to Texas and Florida. Lethal force against trespassers is most certainly authorized. you may not like, but so what?

Some people prefer to be self reliant and use the cops for their proper functions, mainly deterrence and record-keeping.

The cops should have LEFT the property. Just because you have a tin star doesn't give you the right to crap all over people's property rights.
