Lets see how this shooting plays out.
The initial story is pretty simple, 16yo kid with no cell phone drove a few blocks away to pickup his brothers, arrived at the wrong house, rings the doorbell and is greeted by a headshot.
Ben Crump has been retained already. Missouri has a stand your ground law and a covered porch is considered a part of the castle... How will this story change as time goes on? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...-law-rcna79963 |

Kid should have been a cop. These cops went to the wrong house in the middle of the night and killed a homeowner who had a gun when he opened the door to see who was banging on the door.
Listening to the tapes, they weren't even sure if they were in the right place. House was completely dark. But hey, shoot first, eh, guys? Chief backs his cops who killed the homeowner right in front of his wife. They shot at the wife, too, but missed. |

It should. Cops wake up a guy in his own house and murder him, try to murder his wife? Terrorize the kids? The kids were upstairs calling 911, calling the cops for help, while at the same time, the cops were murdering their father. This isn't OK, especially when prior to the whole thing, you can hear the cops discussing that they aren't sure if they are at the right place. Damn, if you aren't sure, withdraw, figure out where you are supposed to be going, and start over.
How many VB members, if awakened by banging on the door at night, might also grab a gun before opening the door to see what's going on? I don't know, maybe the police should make it standard practice to put on their emergency lights in front of the house when it's the middle of the night? That way maybe it's a little more clear that there are cops outside? |

Well, that's pretty simple..... But once they kick the door in without announcing who they are it's a different animal. |

ASSUMING the initial reports are true, the guy has a case. Homeowner shot the kid, kid went down, then homeowner shot kid in the head. Must have been a graze head wound, because kid was able to go to a neighboring home where they neighbor called for an ambulance.
Again, let's consider the initial reports often are not correct, but if these are, it looks bad for the homeowner. Frankly, I think if that happened to me on my quiet cul-de-sac, I'd turn on the outside light and if I didn't recognize the person, I wouldn't open the door, just talk through it. Then again, some people have solid front doors with no glass where that might not be possible. Edit: In practice, I don't know how much there is to actually get from the homeowner. Insurance company will pay out policy limits, the homeowner will declare bankruptcy. If the homeowner has a significant amount of savings, Crump can probably get that, but I think bankruptcy laws protect the actual house and a car or two, especially if there's a mortgage still on the house. |

Don't open the door to a stranger regardless of who they claim to be, what they want (excepting girl scout cookies), or what kind of clown suit they're wearing. Talk through the wall. If they have a problem with that they can leave, stand there talking to themselves like an idiot, or try to force their way in. Their choice, I ain't particular |
