Bartholomew Roberts
I never meant to even hint that a good citizen should have to make a difficult decision under extreme pressure, but asked why they shouldn't be responsible in a situation where they simply choose to ignore a safe and obvious means of retreat.
One problem I ahve with some SYG laws is that everyone assumes the homeowner shot a bad guy; some criminal who's live wasn't worth much.
What about the youg kid that breaks in to steal lose change. I know of antother case where a homeless man only took socks to warm his cold feet. Those were intentional breakins. What of the accidental breaking and entering where the only force is what it took to open an unlocked door and push it open. Say someone living in your complex is confused having undkowinlgly just suffered a few TIAs and he mistakes your condo for his. Does he deserve death for accidentally entering the home of another?
