An Epic Failure of the Victim-selection Process

Alabama is not New Jersey. If you break into an occupied home, well ... Accused burglar shot in head, critically wounded by homeowner during morning break-in - al.com

While the resident – also an adult male - was updating dispatchers, the suspect broke an exterior window of the residence and began to make entry. As the suspect entered the window, the homeowner discharged a firearm striking the suspect in the head.

A deputy arrived on the scene about 5:50 a.m. and found the suspect unresponsive near the residence.

The guy who got shot was listed in Critical Condition.

Self-defense is a human-right, and any sympathy I might feel for this guy is tempered by the knowledge that he could have stayed home. He could have slept in, or gotten a real job. Instead, he thought his best option was to commit a crime. He was wrong.
