(733 posts)The story reminds me of three that I had read about:
1. A home owner shooting and killing a Japanese exchange student who was IN THE SHOOTER'S DRIVEWAY at night, his having mistakenly gone to the wrong house for a Halloween Party. The shooter was not charged.
2. A home owner shooting and killing an inebriated neighbor trying to enter the condo THROUGH HIS LOCKED, PLATE GLASS DOOR at night, who confused the condo with his own in a development where they all looked the same. The shooter was not charged.
3. A home owner shooting a drunk co-ed in her stomach in his home on "college avenue", where fraternity parties were the cause of many rowdy and alcohol-induced weekend shenanigans on the street, after she had wandered into his UNLOCKED HOUSE at night and his bedroom to sleep. The shooter was not charged.
