The point I'm making is that for three years now our economy has been sliding off the cliff, and this will have the impact of pushing those desperate, out of work, juvenile fence sitters, to go from pranks and petty crimes to home burglary. One in four eighteen years olds in Chicago area are probably unemployed, with no visible hope for improvement on the horizon.
I just cannot understand why some folks are trying to defend this kid for B/E. This kid broke into a home that was not his and it wasn't to hide from gang members ... his intent was to steal from an old helpless man (so he thought). Why in the hell would the home owner call out to burglar and give up his advantage to waste the punk. How did the home owner know this punk was not alone. If you are threatened (especially in your home with an intruder) .. you are out to protect yourself and family. Your adrenal is at it's peak. You do not have time to hesitate or you may be the victim. You're in my house without an invite ... adios amigo.
Nobody is saying that the kid should just walk, but since when does burglary warrant the death penalty?

This isn't the case of a death penalty. This was a kill or be killed moment for the homeowner and the homeowner won. You bleeding heart types are nothing more than enablers contributing to this sorry notion of the criminals being the victim (usually a victim of society).
Isn't a "we call police" sign kind of an invitation to a home invasion? As opposed a sign that says "trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again"?
I hope the homeowner doesn't get in trouble for baiting the animals to his hunting area.
How about if the sign said "I have the Coroner on speed-dial" ?

Not at all, the homeowner had the gun and the kid was defenseless.
Chicago unemployment is at 10%, imagine how high it is for teenagers. I'm not defending the kid, because the home owner did the right thing. You have to wonder if this kid would have even committed this crime if there had not been such high unemployment for the past three years.

An elderly retired bus driver on oxygen just to help him breath vs an 18 year old punk. If the home owner didn't have the gun he could have been killed or put in the hospital by that "poor helpless kid" you're trying to defend.

By the time the homeowner determined that, it could have been too late. It's easier to remove the scum from the pond.
