When seconds count, the cops are only multiple 911 calls and hours away.
When kids aren’t noisy they are ill.
I know lifetime Floridians who moved because:
Crime
Crowding
Immigration
Nutty people running wild
NEVER shoot through a closed door.
I moved to FL from the NE; I brought my belongings, my pets and myself. I did not bring my ‘state’ with me. I was moving to FL to be a Floridian, not to be an ‘x’ resident of another state. There are tons of ‘x’ residents who bring their home state with them and expect everyone around them to conform, I have such in a neighbor. We’re always ‘too’ something or other for them and they complain all the time to the point we put up a privacy fence. And it’s not just us, they’ve made complete enemies of the entire small neighborhood. This NJ lady sounds quite similar in that respect and to take it as far as she did, she deserves 30+ years. I feel for the poor kids.
I have no idea which one was the initial aggressor in this instance. Were the children just normal children and the shooter was the typical “Karen” we have seen so many videos of lately telling kids such things as “you can’t chalk-draw on the sidewalk!”? That is what it sounds like.
From the article:
“The former New Jersey resident claimed that the children were trespassing and causing a ruckus — but deputies later told her the area was not her property.”
and
““She is literally crazy,” one woman states. “All they do is play football over there. She yells at them and when an adult says something she calls the police.”
“While deputies said they understood that the noise was potentially irritating, they repeatedly told Lorincz that she did not have legal grounds for a trespassing claim.
“I understand it’s a nuisance,” a deputy tells her. “But I’d rather kids be screaming because they’re out here playing and having a good time than stealing cars and robbing people.””
Given her apparently history of calling the police just for regular child noises as they played, I’m beginning to think she was the aggressor who escalated the problems between the families. It appears now the mother became fed up and went to the witches home to tell her to stop her actions toward the children, and the witch just shot the mother because she thought SHE should be the rule-maker in the neighborhood and everyone had to bend to HER rules.
My opinion is subject to change when additional information is available. However, a hard and fast rule should be do not shoot through a closed door unless there is an assailant knocking it down while expressing an intent to kill you.
This is fake news. It was a good shooting.
After many 911 calls, the family of juvenile delinquents were still harassing the homeowner on her property. The mother of the boys was at the front door attempting entry.
The homeowner is not obligated to wait until the family of at least 5 militants gains entry and demonstrates whether they are unarmed.
Also, these are not next door neighbors accidentally crossing a property line, they had to cross a street to get onto the homeowner’s property.
This was self defense. A vigilante does not call 911 over and over.
Another rule is to install a steel reinforced door.
Can someone post pictures of the people involved? Probably would make things easy to figure out.
