Not THIS scenario! The homeowner was waiting for them, the kids were unarmed, and the kids were subsequently executed by the homeowner who had everything carefully planned........
How anyone, including you, could actually defend this act is beyond my comprehension........
From Post #31:
"If,by chance,I should ever find you in my house without my permission I promise you that I will assume that you're a deadly threat to me and mine and will act accordingly.And,in the opposite situation,I'll expect you to take the same attitude.And we both know that you,understandably,will do *exactly* that."
*That* is how can defend it....largely defend it,that is.As I suggested earlier I could probably vote guilty on a charge that would get him 6 months in the can...or a few years probation but *nothing* more.
I probably would have sided with the old timer...The girl had the opportunity to leave when she heard all the shooting...One can only guess why she ran to the shots instead of away from them...
They broke into this guy's house before, and many others...If the police won't deal with it are we required to just let it happen??? I'll bet the other people who were robbed by this couple are kind of happy the threat is gone...
