Another Failure of the Victim-Selection Process

Maybe he thought in a Blue State like Washington, people would not be armed. Deputies: Pierce County man dead after attempted break-in at former residence

The homeowner told the sheriff’s office that the man had previously lived in the house but had been evicted. On the night of the shooting, he said, the man had shown up at the house and demanded to be let in before forcing his way inside.

He was shot multiple times, and did not survive.

While Washington State has a long history of recognizing self-defense, it is early days in the investigation, and the DA's office will ultimately make any determinations about charges in this case. Pierce County, Washington, is home to Tacoma, which is the county seat. I have no idea how that DA views self-defense.

Self-defense is a human right.
