The bad-guys haven't gotten that memo. Florida homeowner shoots, injures alleged home invader
Deputies say they were told by the homeowner that a man, who has since been identified as 42-year-old Steven Stillwell, threw a flower pot through the glass back door and forced his way inside.
That was a bad move on Mr. Stillwell's part. The homeowner shot him 3 times, and the would-be bad-guy is in a local hospital in critical condition.
As usual, Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County had something to say.
"The castle doctrine is very clear in Florida law," Sheriff Grady Judd wrote in a statement. "A person’s home is his refuge. The evidence in this case at this point indicates that the suspect illegally forced his way into the home.
"The homeowner did exactly what he had a right to do. I commend him for protecting himself and defending his home."
There is more on the incident, and the reporter goes into some detail on self-defense in Florida.
Self-defense is a human-right, and in Polk County, Florida, it seems to be your legal right as well.
