I can't think of anything in my post that led you to the conclusion that you had to question whether or not I'm nuts. Of course it's not up to the homeowner to determine the mindset of someone breaking in. And I reread my post and saw nothing to the contrary.
How about your assertion that the inebriation of the person breaking in somehow justified examining the residents right to defend themselves in the home invasion?
Sometimes, things are really murky. If this kid had been sober and intent on home invasion, we’d not be having this conversation.
When someone breaks in you don't determine if they are drunk. and their breaking in over rules any assertion they might be making that they mean no harm. I stand by my assessment of your post. There never should have been any assertion by anyone that the residents did anything wrong.
