Whatever happened to calling the police? Or yelling out the window, "get lost." What a bunch of scared cowards Americans have becoming to extoll shooting a kid in cold blood for the crime of standing on your driveway....to feel you have to kill yourself out of every problem. Sick, sick, sick.
"in which a kid steps foot on your property"

What part of the kid cutting off a lock, did you see the picture of the size of the chain on the gate?, do you NOT understand?
Quit trying to "change" the facts.

I agree. It would also probably be incumbent on punk thieves to become familiar with laws too. Dumb luck on the kid's part is not a plan either.

Maybe the IDIOT should have respected someone else's property and NOT cut the lock off a gate to trespass.

"Or even trying to get in the house? Or even trying to get in the car at that point." BECAUSE he was STOPPED BEFORE he could attempt to do any of the tings you cite.

What part of, " he had a history of robbing" don't you understand?

Question; "why did the chicken cross the road" ?
Answer " because it wanted too"

Question; "why did the 14 yr old enter into a fenced yard at 2 AM" ?
Answer; "because he wanted too"

Key word here is INTENT

To quote the words of Lee Martin in the Movie (The Dirty Dozen) "YOU MADE ONE MISTAKE.....YOU GOT CAUGHT"

Thank God your OPINION is NOT the law in many states.

By the way, I don't think this a SYG case but, is a Castle Doctrine case.

It's quite the bizarre thought process.

Person pursuing you on car and on foot. Proper reaction? Nothing. Not a threat.

Person trespassing in your yard. Proper reaction? Kill them.

As long as the person you're shooting is black, you can scream that you felt "threatened," paint them as a thug, and stand a good chance of getting away with murder.

You act as if armed burglarizes NEVER happen.

It DOES happen a whole lot MORE then you are aware of.

"July 18, 2013Man saves family from armed attackers, WEWS, Cleveland, Ohio, 07/16/13

Jacquella Lattimore was leaving her home in Cleveland, Ohio to take her children to camp when three armed men confronted the family. One of the gunmen took the children to the home’s garage while the other two criminals attempted to force Lattimore into the house. The gunmen were unaware that Lattimore’s fiancé, Johnny Bridges, was watching the scene unfold and was armed with a gun. Bridges fired at one of the criminals forcing his fiance into the home, striking him and causing all three to flee. The trio was captured by police a short time later. Following the incident, Cleveland Councilman Mike Polensek expressed his support for Bridges actions, telling a local news outlet, “Whoever shot this dirt bag ought to get a medal… I might get a proclamation for him.” But even with the councilman’s words of support Bridges remained humble, telling a reporter, “Right now I don’t consider myself a hero… I just wanted to make sure my family was alright.”

Father saves family from violent home invaders, KTRK, Houston, Texas 07/01/13

A father was at home in Houston, Texas with his wife, four children and the children’s uncle when three armed home invaders entered the apartment. As the uncle was surrendering to the criminals, the father retrieved a gun and fired at the intruders, killing two and causing the third to flee. Police have questioned the armed citizen, but have made clear to a local media outlet that they believe the father acted within his rights. In the aftermath of the shooting, the family of the armed father showed their support, with his son telling reporters that his father is a “great hero.”
