http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/teens-shot-dead-basement-homeowner-article-1.1208337There's a hell of a lot of lowings and sh1ftys praying for an intruder.Smith told investigators he was fearful after several break-ins at his remote home about 10 miles south of Little Falls, a central Minnesota town of 8,000 people. The sheriff's office had only one report of a break-in, on Oct. 27. Smith reported losing thousands of dollars in cash, gold coins, two guns, photo equipment and jewelry.
Wetzel said that while the shootings happened on Thursday, Smith waited until Friday to report the deaths, explaining that "he didn't want to trouble us on a holiday."
In the complaint, Smith said he was in his basement when he heard a window breaking upstairs, followed by footsteps that eventually approached the basement stairwell. Smith said he fired when Schaeffel came into view from the waist down.
After the teen fell down the stairs, Smith said he shot him in the face as he lay on the floor.
"I want him dead," the complaint quoted Smith telling an investigator.
Smith said he dragged Schaeffel's body into his basement workshop, then sat down on his chair. After a few minutes, Kifer began coming down the stairs and he shot her as soon as her hips appeared, he said.
After shooting her with both the Mini 14 and the .22-caliber revolver, he dragged her next to Schaeffel. With her still gasping for air, he fired a shot under her chin "up into the cranium," the complaint says.
"Smith described it as `a good clean finishing shot,'" according to the complaint.
I agree, but what about the possible threat of someone breaking to your house? Maybe the rationalization isn't "you stole my shit", its "how dare you enter my domicile without permission"?Macbeth wrote:

Instead, feel bad that they broke in in the first place.krazed wrote:
i don't feel bad for people who get shot during robberies
Depends, if its a violent robbery then ok, if its some stupid kids breaking into a house they thought was empty then its different.krazed wrote:

1The problem with that is any break-in is a potential violent robbery. And the time given to you to determine which it is isn't very significant.Dilbert_X wrote:

Kids do stupid stuff.
2I bet a lot of these crazies sit in their armchair with the lights off and the back door unlatched stroking their shotgun hoping for an intruder.
2They do.
Wait a minute, why would i shoot timmy if he wasnt doing anything threatening?Uzique The Lesser wrote:
i hate all this stupid rambo-hypothesizing that american gun owners are wont to do.

the fact is if someone comes into your house, you're gonna be junked up and adrenalized to fuck, your fight-or-flight basic primate 'protect my family and home' instinct is going to kick in, and bullets are going to fly. maybe a few stray shots will ricochet and kill the family dog. maybe a bullet will make its way through the wood-paneling and plaster-board and kill next door's timmy, lay sleeping. you just don't know. it's bullshit.

So, you didn't mean this?Uzique The Lesser wrote:
my 'indulging' is clearly satirical. look at how over-wrought the description of the scenario is. i am taking the piss. so really have a good laugh at yourself for missing something very obvious.

Most don't, that's true. I've also received much better training outside the official military structure than in it, with regard to firearms handling. So, I'd ask why is military training a requirement in your mind for decent skill levels?and secondly, yes, yes indeed. because the majority of fantasist walter mitty US gun owners have special/armed forces training.
