He Suffered A Failure of the Victim-selection Process

And Floridians are heavily armed. Pasco man killed by homeowner during apparent robbery attempt | WFLA

The sheriff’s office says their preliminary investigation shows an armed man tried to break into an apartment and was then shot and killed by a person living inside.

New Port Ritchie, Florida is on the gulf coast, about 15 to 20 miles north of Clearwater, and the famous - for spring break - beaches.

Neighbors were shocked that crime would come to their little corner of paradise, with one saying, "not once have I ever experienced something like this." Another asked more interesting questions.

Kevin McMahon also lives at the complex and was surprised the shooting happened where it did.

“I mean it’s third floor, it’s literally adjacent to this apartment right here, so I don’t understand if you are going to rob and break into an apartment, I don’t see why you would travel a half mile into a complex, up to the third floor and trap yourself in there,” said McMahon.

Cops are investigating to see if there is a relationship between the dead guy, and the guy who defended himself.

Self-defense is a human-right, and this didn't take place in Manhattan.
