The headline tells you the ethnicity of the perp and the homeowner without telling you.

A pretty bold thing to do at 16, especially in the “Gunshine” State. If the perp lives, he needs to thank God for his intervention and turn his young life over to Christ. The next time he won’t be so lucky.

He should face even more severe punishment as a warning to others not to repeat his mistake. Let him get well...then the law should be changed to allow something pretty rough to happen to him after that.

Under common law, a burglary was to illegally enter into a building at night with the intent to commit a crime within. It was a capital crime (death penalty allowed). Why? Because most people slept in their place of business or the buildings were protected by watchmen or the "building" was your house, so entering at night meant you were willing to endanger the occupants. Therefore, committing burglary meant you were willing to endanger an innocent person to further your crime.
I have no sympathy for someone breaking into an occupied building, day or night.

If the perp is black, stand by for “Hands up, don’t shoot” riots.

It's like a cultural thing with certain minorities ... but usually plays out badly
Remember awhile back when an NFL player was arrested for B&E?
The freakin NFL!! Where minimum salary is $750K!!
B&E / robbery don't pay no 750K, for only 6 months work ...

Race of perp is not reported so it’s highly likely that he is black.

According to officers, nobody in the home was injured and they are cooperating in the investigation, so they won't be facing any charges. This is Florida so this may be true.
But if you are in the position of these home owners, remember, cooperate only after you have talked with and have your lawyer present.
The police are not your friends and have no interest in seeing that you get justice.
When you call the police tell them no more than that you have shot an intruder and your address.
If the intruder is obviously dead or incapacitated, unload your weapon and sit aside and wait for the police.
Tell the police that you feared for your life and that you will answer questions only after you have your lawyer present.
If they follow legal protocol they will ask no further questions.
If they do continue to ask questions just keep saying that you want a lawyer.

Calling young thugs “teens” makes them seem more innocent than they are.

” ... tell them no more than that you have shot an intruder and your address ...”
THIS IS TERRIBLE ADVICE.
Only tell the police that there has been a shooting at this address.

Officials say he is listed in critical condition. The real shame is this piece of trash is consuming medical time, energy and supplies.

His age makes no difference. He knew what he was doing. The article uses the word “teen” a lot to elicit sympathy. Didn’t work.

“teens” has been a news media code word for black for nearly 20 years now.

Florida, the Homeowner may not go to Prison, however it's gonna hurt.
The Negro Criminal may get Statues with Halos.

There’s probably a lot of good loot to be had, this time of year. Ammo makes a good stocking-stuffer.

In most of Florida, we have Constitutional Sheriffs like Grady Judd in Polk and all of our Sheriffs up here in the Panhandle. Someone breaks into your house, they’re perfectly fine with shooting them dead..This ain’t Miami.
