Regardless, it’s a good day whenever you don’t need to kill someone.

(2) A person is presumed to have held a reasonable fear of imminent peril of death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another when using or threatening to use defensive force that is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm to another if: (a) The person against whom the defensive force was used or threatened was in the process of unlawfully and forcefully entering, or had unlawfully and forcibly entered, a dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle, or if that person had removed or was attempting to remove another against that person’s will from the dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle; and (b) The person who uses or threatens to use defensive force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry or unlawful and forcible act was occurring or had occurred.

Robbery and breaking and entering are not applicable in Florida as justification to shoot someone. You must show the intent of bodily harm. But by all means, spend your life in prison.

He obviously was not using his brain. The article doesn't say if he had priors or any record. It does state he put his hands up immediately, so he knew he was wrong. Anyhow, glad he didn't get his head blown off and has the chance to right his wrong. He maid bail, so someone(not likely a methhead) posted the 500 for him.

PERIOD. If the burglar would have gotten shot, then the homeowner would have had to justify the hell out of it and faced criminal charges. I am so glad it ended with no one shot. Maybe this was just some stupid druggie who will now get help because of this experience. Your politics do not matter (JAY!!!!) Why is everything politic these days?
