Posted by SelkirkTMO on Sun Dec 23 03:43:18 2007, in response to John White Found Guilty, posted by Train Dude on Sat Dec 22 23:29:44 2007. I was going to leave this one alone as a result of so many implications and attitudes ... but I've been in a similar situation myself though fortunately UPSTATE where shooting a trespasser is no problem so long as you do it PROPERLY. :(Intercourse the "racism" ... plain and simple, there was trespass and that would normally change things, but only to a rather poor degree given the outcome. What *I* was taught by the sheriff was plain and simple ... and MY attacker was WHITE ... AND my LANDLORD! (WHY are so many landlords insane? Oh yeah, they believed "get rich in real estate, nevermind") ... if there's TRESPASS, call the cops. They'll remove them from your property no charge. Heh. Use of LETHAL force however requires that they actually ENTER your domicile ... FORCEFUL entry is what makes *ALL* the difference in the world. If they break your window and climb in, if they kick your door down or otherwise perform a "break-in" in the course of trespassing (even RENTERS have this "quiet enjoyment" in their favor) then the rules completely change ***IF*** you are "in fear of your life" . I was told (and they WANTED my landlord to go down one way or another) was ... be SURE there's a stain INSIDE and if they manage to try to get away, DRAG the carcass back INSIDE the apartment/home/whatever and THEN call us ... IF we find the carcass INSIDE, you're OK. Never forgot that lesson, and of course it makes a difference that I live WAY upstate where everybody knows this rule and doesn't get stupid about it. Black, white, green, blue ... UNjustified if the shooter was OUTSIDE their home when it all went down. Shoulda called the cops upon trespass, and if anybody actually ENTERED the domicile, there would have been NO questions with a dead ofay lying in the hallway in a pool of blood. :( KNOW the law, and don't be stupid! :( |
