What home invader Rings the doorbell? And he shot him as he was driving away. This defense is shit.
Exactly. I'm a terrible liar, can't do it to save my life, so I have huge... well, not really respect, but maybe bafflement towards people who are able to spout this caliber of bullshit with a straight face.
Home invaders sometimes ring doorbells to check if anyone is home: https://youtu.be/iYbV_GTY5k4
That doesn't excuse this asshat.
So do Girl Scouts selling cookies.
It happens more often than you'd think these days. They pretend to be a dasher, the police, a maintenance worker, a tree trimming service. Anything to get in the door, especially if they're already planning on violence.
Obviously you still shouldn't shoot at people just for being in your driveway or at your door though.
Edit: the guy who killed the politicians in Minnesota literally rang their doorbell. You're a fucking dipshit.
That's right wing paranoia.
That's not a counterargument, these are unfortunately things that really happen irrespective of how you percieve them, and I'm a leftist. No reason to be a smarmy little fuck.
Bad counter argument. This things happen because Americans worship gund.
All hail Gund
I don't really need a counterargument if I wasn't met with an argument. The more you know 🌟
Bullshit.
Stop making excuses for shitty people.
No, it happens, unfortunately. No one's making excuses for this crazy asshole in the article. You're just reading way too far into what I said and you're assuming I must feel like this was justified. It wasn't. But if the question is, as it was, "what kind of home invader rings the doorbell?" The answer is "uh, plenty of them do that."
If you, in good faith, believe otherwise, then congrats on living somewhere without an abhorrent rate of violent crime. You are officially privileged enough to be delusional. Now educate yourself.
Maybe the Doordash guy didn't give him his food and he was really hungry so he shot at him. A hangry murder attempt.
