I want to hear more details. If the guy was a known felon with a penchant for home invasions or just stupidly drunk.

I've *tried* to knock down a front door and it ain't as easy as it looks in the movies. I weighed about 200 lbs at the time and all I ever did was crack the thing down the center line. The guy whose house it was was pretty pissed, too.

Personally I might have waited until the door actually gave way, but at that point things get really unpredictable. I figure the deceased either knew he was at the wrong house or would have if he was sober. His misfortune.

The news story was posted here on FR when it happened.

BTW, if you want to break the door in, you hit it at or near the lock and break the wood door jam where the dead bolt goes in. If you hit in the center it is much harder to break and only damages the door itself. A steel door in a steel jam would be very tough to break through.
