[QUOTE="LL, post: 398412, member: 95"] You are trying to retrofit your values / worldview on a situation that only by LUCK didn't involve someone getting hurt. How many deliberate home break-ins are committed by people with criminal intent compared to zoned-out harmless people, do you think? It would take access to data that civilians don't have as well as depend on the city/neighborhood, of course, but I think it is safe to say that accidents (if indeed that's what this case was---JD is the size of a pro wrestler, drives a cement truck, and works out regularly, and HE couldn't pop the door) are significantly outnumbered by home invasions with criminal intent. Meaning? Unless you're feeling damn lucky, the [b][i]correct[/i][/b] response to a middle-of-the-night forced break in is to assume the worst. i.e. shoot first and ask questions later. Especially if you have a family. [/QUOTE]
