~~No one was actually breaking into their home though. Literally nothing would have happened to that home owner if he had been less trigger-happy and tried to comminucate with the kid.~~
He broke the glass and tried to open the door from the inside. If I were inside that house, I'd certainly feel threatened.
That is completely incorrect and shows you didn't read the article. The guy physically was breaking the door open.
But he literally broke a window and reached around to open the door from the inside. After trying to kick the door in.
It's a tragedy, but the homeowner was 100% justified.
The problem is you can't judge people's actions on what we know after the fact, you have to look at what the person knew in the moment, and for the residents, it sure seemed like someone was breaking into their house, and it's not reasonable to expect to have a dialogue with a burglar.
He very LITERALLY broke into his home. Are you delusional?
