Bull pucky! Racism is a dodge in a case like this. It tries to excuse the perpetrator and villify the intended victim. That's sick!

I don't care what color you are. Break into my home, day or night, risk being shot! I'm an equal opportunity home protector.

No it's not, that's just a typical left wing cop out used to cover up the real problem.

Agreed. Plenty of those here on CD as well. Laughing, celebrating, and gloating over the death of a 15 year old is NOT normal behavior.

Why don't you show us who and where anyone did that?

And plenty trying to excuse the perp because of age and/or race and blame and villify the intended victim.

There was a time when I'd call that atypical behavior but unfortunately, the sickness has spread to a large swath of the population. Pity!

Your location says it all.

So now, I'm guilty by location? Please show me WHERE I said that the Homeowner was in the wrong. Point it out.

I am not giving the burgler a pass because I do believe that IF you are prepared to break into someone's home, you should be prepared to take a big risk with your life.

OTOH, I still believe that the attitude of gloating over the death of a 15 year old - is not normal behavior and not behavior I would expect to see much of outside of the internet.

Do we continue fake wars to employ more youth?
Or maybe we can simply double the 900 offshore military bases we have?
Are you willing to pay more in Federal taxes to make this happen?

The SCOTUS has ruled that executing a minor is cruel and unusual punishment. To allow a homeowner to be the judge, jury and executioner of a 15 year old kid, is just sick. That is vigilante justice, and not something that should ever happen a civilized society.
Maybe I missed it. Was the 15 year old armed?

Who?

The kid chose to attempt a break in. Nothing thus far suggests he was armed. The occupant of the home killed him. The local court system will determine the outcome.

Why would it have to be only military jobs? How about some kind of limit on immigration so that and focus the American dream back on Americans?

With all the money poured into schools and education, it's not about throwing more money at non-solutions.
