I’m sorry to disagree, but if one is being chased, that is no excuse for breaking into someone’s house.
That is just plain stupid. Like jumping out of the frying pan, into the fire.
The end DOES NOT justify the means.
A few years ago the young woman who lives across the street from me came home later than she was supposed too so her friends dropped her off at the corner so she could sneak into her house. I guess someone saw her getting out of the car and decided to follow and grab her.
Her screaming woke me up but by the time I got outside I saw her heading to her neighbors house the perp was back in his car. There was a large bang on her neighbors door and then a crash as she went threw a window .
No one was upset at her for that ... off course she had been screaming bloody murder and her skirt had been torn off
a totally different scenario than the one in this thread but there is no way that I would have told her she shouldn’t have broken into the house
Ok what would you do if you were in my older brother’s situation. You have absolutely no idea because you are sitting on the computer typing while he was running for his life. I think when you are afraid and in fear of dying you would do almost anything you could. If he were doing anything other than trying to find safety why would he jump through someone’s window at 6 in the evening. Your comment makes no sense. You are obviously a cold heartless indiviual.
True, but if the guy really was fleeing for his life then BBell is right, it sucks. Not that the shooter did anything wrong, he was the victim of a break-in and no matter what the cause may have been he didn't have time to sort things out before firing.
I keep a .38 revolver on my night table and I would have done the same thing. Only difference is that my .38 is fired for practice on a regular basis. But for a guy who hasn't fired his gun for 35 years he did OK and got the job done. I hope I could do as well if God forbid I am ever in that situation.
