Another Failure of the Victim-selection Process

He took a gun from the inside the home. He still got shot. NC homeowner shoots, kills armed intruder, Sheriff says

Burke County’s Criminal Investigations Division determined that Cook had entered the house and had taken a firearm from inside the home. Cook pointed the firearm at the homeowner and the homeowner fired and struck Cook, ultimately killing him.

He made a decision to enter a home that was not his at 3 o'clock in the morning. I cannot bring myself to feel sorry for what happened to him. He could have done just about anything else, aside from commit a crime, and he probably would be alive.

The choices we make, dictate the lives we lead. Or not, as the case may be.

Self-defense is a human-right, and North Carolina has not morphed into Manhattan or New Jersey.
