Yes...because they won't learn enough of a lesson from their son's funeral.
I think the correct answer is "don't charge the homeowner".
Tragic set of circumstances started in motion by the young man's excessive drinking.
“Tragic set of circumstances started in motion by the young man’s excessive drinking.”
I’m somewhat sympathetic to the young man and his family. When I was new to an area, I once mistakenly walked into the wrong apartment, then quickly realized my mistake when the furniture looked all wrong. I wasn’t drinking, but had absent-mindedly walked up one flight of stairs too many. Luckily there was no one there to confront me. My point is, don’t be too trigger-happy, because sometimes well-meaning people end up in the wrong place by accident. All this having been said, it doesn’t seem to me that the homeowner should be charged in this case, because the drunken young man probably seemed to be an imminent threat, and was actually in the backyard at the time of the shooting.
