John White should be getting a medal not a prison sentence

A Suffolk County jury found him guilty of manslaughter after he shot 17-year-old Daniel Cicciaro in the face.

It was back in 2006 when Cicciaro and a group of friends showed up at White's house in Miller Place.

They falsely accused his son, Aaron, of threatening to rape a girl, a mistake in judgment that proved costly.

After a confrontation with White in his driveway, Daniel Cicciaro was shot once and killed.

Authorities said White should have called 911.

I don't care for the racial aspects of this. That all means nil to me.

Legally John was in the wrong, but laws usually never make sense and often aren't morally right.

The kid and his friends showed up drunk to a persons house and tried starting a fight. The kid completely got what he deserved. The kid would still be alive if he didn't try to be a badass. I don't feel any sympathy for him or his family.

When you threaten and provoke others you run the risk of angering someone much more dangerous then you. I hope people can learn a lesson from this.

White is facing a max of 4 years behind bars but could be released in 20 months

I'll send him a fruit basket when he gets out.

In Texas I don't think that he would have been charged at all.

He shot a dude in the face and is probably looking at around 2 years...

I'd say there are far more egregious examples of injustice than this particular case.

Well, this would be national news if it was a white man shooting a black teen in the face.

Aside from that though, I generally agree with Mac on this.

So, was this guy or his family in immediate physical danger? I can't tell from the article.

Read the OP quote.

I haven't really followed this story, to be honest, but large groups (or even small groups) of angry people can be both intimidating and immediately threatening. Just ask any lynch mob.

Cicciaro and a group of friends

If this lynch mob was so scary, why did Mr. White approach them?

The wife of the shooter has a good point. If the group was breaking the law, which it appears they were, they should also be charged. Their actions contributed to and probably instigated the shooting. They should have called 911 just as the father should have. The father should have remained in the home and called police.

I honestly don't know. Maybe they weren't being offensive until he got within range?

This is true, however it is hard to gauge how the group was acting. They could've been intimidating, they could've been aggressive, they could've just been there for moral support whilst Cicciaro had a one-on-one with White.

I too agree their actions "probably" contributed, but reasonable doubt suggests we can't make that assumption.

I'm all for killing home invaders. The home is the final defensible boundary. If you enter my home uninvited, I will probably kill you. This guy either chose to leave the security of his home or he chose not to retreat into his home when these guys approached. There may be extenuating circumstances that we're unaware of, so I'm not gunna say this guy is a hero or a murderer.

I'm sure some would say no person should have to retreat from his or her property. This isn't the wild west. If you've got opportunity to secure yourself and your family, you take it. and then you call the police.

That's pretty extreme. Are you saying that you are likely to kill people who enter your home uninvited and pose a threat that you can't otherwise disarm, or is trespassing in itself a capital offense in your corner of the world?

Don't try to step into someone's home uninvited. Is your life worth so little as a tv set you trying to steal?

Where do you get the part about theft from? I don't see how your reply is relevant to the question I asked Reciprocity.
