A perfectly legit shooting. A big belligerent drunk forced his way into a home. Got shot.
Note the drunk was a white guy and the home owner black.
So there will be no repercussions
It follows the letter of the law, and was legitimate under the law.
But, I see very little "forcing his way in". He talks to the person we cannot see, then goes in, at a normal pace, where we cannot see, and is almost immediately shot.
The Homeowner probably should have told him to go away, and maybe he did.
Get drunk, get stupid, get shot.
A terrible situation all around.
On the whole, that is good to hear. I do think opening the door was stupid and would not want to live with that, but would rather live with that than both that and the consequences of letting him continue into the home.
One of my first cousins blasted an intruder in New Orleans after he broke in. I remember researching and the Louisiana self protect laws are pretty victim friendly.
The newspaper described the Perp as a “Car stereo installation specialist”
