My conclusion, after this shooting and the recent one where the young man was shot after knocking on the wrong door, is that many people are now afraid of strangers.
...and perhaps the strangers are relying on GPS a little too much...
I remember the old advice to never talk to strangers.
If I am home alone, I don’t answer the door if it is a stranger. If they start fiddling with my door, I go grab a weapon and then call 911.
That’s my plan, anyway. It hasn’t ever happened to me.
“...many people are now afraid of strangers...”
And perhaps not without good reason. But you can’t just haul off and gun people down for knocking on your door, or pulling a car into your driveway.
Exactly- both stories are horrible but this is the end result of crime going through the roof and the criminals ending up as the victims rather than the real victims themselves.
Even in cases where these people most likely shouldn’t have shot these people, there is a good side...It’s got to be entering the thoughts of the criminal class, that the next target may be armed.
