Anyone see GNA this morning? Gibson had an interview w/ the widow of a guy who was killed by a homeowner in Colorado. The whole slant was that Colorodo's "Make my day Law" is somehow to blame, and that the homeowner can not be charged with the guy's death leaving everyone outraged.
This reporting was completely one sided. There was no emphasis on the fact that the shootee was trying to get through the front door of the shooter's home (the real victim in my eyes). According to the widow, he had a 2 inch by 2 inch "stick" that was 36 inches long. (You mean a CLUB?)He actually broke through the glass of the shooters front door when the homeowner blasted him with a shotty.
Nothing about maybe not tresspassing. Nothing about self-restraint or breaking through someone's door with a "stick". Nothing about how the homeowner has a RIGHT to defend himself in his home if he feels threatened. Nothing about trying to work out problems like civilized adults and not barbarians. It was so one sided I was amazed (yet not surprized).
Sorry about the incoherance of my post. its still early for me but I had to get that out.
Thanks
