If buying a weapon (and rigging taping equipment) is “premeditation” after numerous break ins, then anyone who decides to arm themselves AFTER such an event is “planning on having a different (confrontational) response” the next time.
Was he supposed to lock himself in the basement while they knocked about upstairs and he “called the cops” to alert them?
Would the officers enter or remain outside (as they have at numerous school shooting sites while the perps pick off victims)?
Was he supposed to fire a warning shot through the door as Joe Biden says?
Coming up from the basement should not be criminal.
Altering the crime scene, vindictive action (or was it mercy killing), and not contacting the authorities immediately are what he should be facing.
He didn’t come up from the basement until after he had killed them.

Sorry, you must be trying to ‘answer’ someone else.
I never mentioned ANYTHING he did - one way or the other - BEFORE they came DOWN THE STAIRS...(other than they ‘alerted’ him by breaking his window)
My only ‘problem’ with him is the 3rd shot on each FORMER criminal....
I never mentioned premeditated.
Hell, I could be accused of premeditation when I say ‘If you or anyone desire to break into my home, I will shoot you’, you may or may not die but you will go down OR I will die trying.
