A Miami woman killed a teen burglar as he fled her home, police say. Should she be charged?

[blackrain]

So instead of blaming the home owner how about we blame the piss poor parenting?

Its not the homeowners fault that the kid broke in her home.

Of course you can't blame her for him breaking in...but her response is all her own and if some fact emerges to show he was running away then that's where shooting him becomes a crime to some because he's no longer a threat to you

“Police say this would-be robber chose the wrong home because this homeowner did more than just call the cops,” reported WSVN’s Brandon Beyer. “She had a gun.”

The attitude of police allows citizens to do things like this without being reprimanded. A laid-back nature regarding loss of life.

I'm not going to comment on Johnson, he was a kid that didn't realize where he lived. And his family clearly didn't raise him properly.

I'm convince most of you posters don't live in the real world, only in your own heads and the internet

So from the story we know:

She didn't chase buddy down the street and shoot him down.

She didn't follow him thru the complex and shoot him when he was getting the best of her

She didn't tie his hand behind his back and shoot him execution style

She was still on her property. Her home where here children sleep. She defended her castle and ain't nothing wrong with that

It's super easy to play Monday morning QB but the reality is, at the heat of the moment, she did what she had to do. Fuck all that' it's just property bullshit.' It was more than property to him just like it was more than property to her

Did he deserve to die? Of course not.

But I hate to say it so callously but buddy knew the risk. B&E has those type of outcomes.

Do y'all own shit in here?

Breaking in someone house or car and seeing that person can make you lose it. Like seriously.

The woman should be charged. By all accounts of the law this should be a first-degree murder. In Florida it'll end up as manslaughter though.

Did you guys read the article? She wasn't home when it occurred. She raced home after being alerted by an app.

The tone of this article is bias as well. Home Invasion, no one was home for this. They didn't find a weapon on his person. It was a breaking and entering.

Florida's laws needs overhauls.

A case in Miami were a guy had broke into a car and stole the CD player. The owner shot and killed the burglar. He was not charged with a homicide and ruled it self-defense/stand your ground.

It was argued that the bag of radios could have been a weapon or it was used as a weapon.

I don't think she'll get charged unless they can prove that he wasn't any threat to her.

Lock her ass up. If he was fleeing like the report says, then there was no imminent threat to her life.

Fuck her.

You sure, cause it also says they had a brief confrontation and he got shot in the chest not the back.

'You sure?'. Lol. No I ain't sure, nigga. I'm going on what the article says. Like I said, IF HE WAS SHOT WHILE FLEEING like the article says...lock her up.

 

[ghostdog56]

I can't believe all yall agreeing he should have been shot, this young brother had a bright future, yea he was breaking in homes today but who knows, next year he could of moved up to liquor stores and then banks. Foh. Fuck this nigga my rental property got broken into twice and I have to pay for that shit if I would of caught him I would of shot his ass too

 

[ghostdog56]

And how come no matter the situation the family always says he was a good kid? You know good and damn well he was a piece of shit. I bet his own family wouldn't leave him alone in their house.

While he allegedly fled

as a home owner and land owner I have a completely different opinion than most yall.

you work your whole life for your slice of the american pie, and a mother fucker want to come along and take it from you?

bruh that's not just mine. that my entire bloodline after me home and land.

gotdamn right i will kill to defend it.

aint just a patch of land or a house.

but stupid assed people dont think about shit like that when they go and try to rob the Korean market on the corner, try to beat and rob the junkyard man, or break into somebody house.

You're right - different mentality. There is no piece of property that I value more than a human life.

I am disliking the wording used in the article. "Home invasion" implies she was at home, what the kid was doing was a breaking and entering (which is different from burglary because the story says he didn't take anything).

I can't really be upset about her actions, she couldn't have known whether he was dangerous or not. Dude should have known better.

And you know that 'home invasion' shit was done purposely. Smh.

Wasn't no damn home invasion.

Not sure how that means he wasn't fleeing. But sure.

 

[LPast]

So if it isn't home invasion... What is it?

 

[Will Munny]

He probably shouldn't have been shot in the back, but he shouldn't have broken into the house either. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

He wasn't shot in the back

My bad. Then I truly give no fucks.

 

[D0wn]

Fuck that dusty nigga, good riddance. Niggas like him are fucking roaches.

That old lady is a hero.

So when fleeing folks run towards the person they are fleeing from. Good to know so I can keep that in mind now.

So if it isn't home invasion... What is it?

Burglary. Home invasion is defined as you forcefully breaking into a house that's occupied. When he broke in, the house was empty. Thus...no home invasion.
