[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where does it say in the article that he was shot in the back? I didn’t read that in there anywhere.

The actual facts, more of which are probably not in the short article, are what matter. In Virginia you can shot someone if you think your life is in imminent danger. If a group of male teens are banging on my door, on my porch, trespassing on my property, and not leaving right away, what else do I think theyre there to do but break in.

I had teens at 4am come into my fenced in yard, wander around, high out of their mind. My bedroom is in the front of the house, they woke me up, I looked out the window, opened the window and yelled I was calling the police. They ran. If they were banging on the door over and over, or ringing the doorbell repeatedly, I would definitely get scared. People act like 911 comes right away, if they even answer at all. [/quote]

But you shouldn’t open the door to shoot them. If you truly are in fear of your life, you grab your gun but keep the doors shut and locked, then shoot if they come in.

I don’t have much sympathy for someone who goes outside and then claims they shot in self defense. Someone’s at my door, I grab my kids, call the police, lock ourselves in the bathroom, and shoot only if they try to come into the bathroom after I’ve shouted I’m armed. [/quote]

No where does any article say he shot the kid in the back nor does it say he opened the door and shot them. WE DONT KNOW. why do posters just make up facts? You’re making stuff up.

And in Virginia, you don’t have to give a warning. [/quote]

I'm not making stuff up. The PP literally said "if people are banging on my door I assume they are breaking in".

We can all agree that if someone breaks into your house, yes, it's okay to shoot them.

But if someone is on your porch and you open the door, it doesn't sound like you're actually in fear for your life.[/quote]

People are making up that the kid was shot in the back and that someone opened a door and started firing, including you.

I have searched for more information on this case and no where did I see either of those “facts” released. While it is frustrating to not know everything that happened, and I certainly am curious and want to know too, posters posting fake info never helps. [/quote]
