This is happening more and more, as it should. Lawlessness must be opposed if society is to survive:
A 24-year-old man shot and killed a teenage intruder Friday after the youth and some other juveniles tried to break into the his northwest Atlanta home, police said.
The shooting occurred around 1:15 p.m. at 1426 Hawkins St., off Chappell Road, police said.
The reporter added this:
It was not clear if the suspects got the door open before the resident, who was home alone, grabbed a handgun from his back bedroom and shot fired at least eight shots, hitting the 16-year-old at least once in the face, Meadows said.
Is he intimating that the homeowner, in a sense of fair play, should have waited until several violent hoodlums actually breached his door before defending himself? Probably, though the police, thankfully, don’t appear to share his view.
