No ... it doesn't "mean nothing" .... it probably means that the guy was burglarized repeatedly by local thugs with an arrest record the length of your arm that the "system" refuses to deal with in an effective manner. It probably means that the guy understands that police don't really give a rat's rear end if someone steals his TV or other personal belongings, and that the only action that will result from reporting an incident to them will be a report that police do nothing with, on average.

Stop watching Police Shows on TV .... CI doesn't come out and "dust for prints" and track down the criminals with clever detective work. Most crime against the general public goes unsolved, and a large portion of that is because unless there is a serious injury or a death, very little, if any at all investigative work is actually done. That is reserved for protecting commercial interests where commercial theft or property damage has occurred.

If a bank gets robbed ... the police will form a task force. If you get robbed, they'll file a report. That's the reality.

One B & E is enough for one lifetime. You would know that if you had ever been burglarized.
So, what if the brother is lying about the number of break-ins?

No problem?

If they lie about the number of break-ins, then that tells me they will lie about what really happened when and how those kids/young adults died.

I guess that's why he didn't call the police for 24 hours, huh? Because he knew they would "do nothing?"

It's America's fault. We sweep the drug epidemic under the rug and crazy isht like this happens. It's easier for a teen to get drugs than it is for booze.

The more I think about this the more I am at a loss to understand how anyone with a shred of humanity can defend this much less take the time to post their rationalizations over and over again. I don't see it, I don't understand it, it just doesn't makes any sense.

The homeowner didn't handle the situation too well. He is going to jail for homicide.

Let me sus it out for you. This liberal tolerance has led to intolerable life where criminals are coddled, and their victims punished. Had the man shot the intruders and just wounded them, he'd have likely found himself sued for damages. That's how insane this liberal la la land has become.

But it's just fine for a police officer to taser to death someone for a traffic violation ... because tasers are non-lethal ... even though they kill people, which usually is labeled death unrelated to the 50,000 volts shot through the person's body 10 times.

Everything is now upside down. And that's the real problem. Labeling burglars as "kids" is part of this brave new world of double think.

No ... I think the man is a bit twisted ... or suffering some mental disturbance. But it was the break in and the criminal behavior on the part of the intruders that created the situation, and not the man minding his own business in his own home.

Just another reason for people to be more responsible and respectful of others ... you break into someone else's home, and you are responsible for getting your arse shot off.

When you use "likely" in a sentence written to establish your argument, one should dismiss said argument as a sorry attempt to bull**** the reader while making up crap as you go along producing a classic strawman argument.

So I repeat:

The more I think about this the more I am at a loss to understand how anyone with a shred of humanity can defend this much less take the time to post their rationalizations over and over again. I don't see it, I don't understand it, it just doesn't makes any sense.

So you are defending his actions?
