The screaming started after he started shooting tho

This thread got me feeling like we really in The Twilight Zone bruh

I wouldn't have even done that maybe a warning shot

But the shots after he started running away were even more wild

True
In an average situation they’d still be scared s***less fearing for their lives regardless

Would you have shot him if he ran up in the house to get to your daughter ?

he was going to steal the daughter ?!

Now idk what the ex was like if he's been violent with his daughter before i'll be more understanding

But if not this is wild

Thats what I'm sayin! Lmao
People itt making it seem like it's wrong to want to do whatever you can to protect your loved ones from some unhinged dude who is trying to harm your family

Aight so what if this dude ain't use a gun and instead used a hammer to crack the person breaking in's skull in...is he still wrong for that or...what? Y'all tell me KTT since y'all seem to be experts on handling people attempting to break into your home.

If he was inside running towards my daughter? Sure but he wasn't tho lol

I mean an ex of his daughter is trying to knock their door down . Idk what his intentions were, but I'd imagine he wasn't there to have a nice convo

Your daughters newly broken up with ex-boyfriend is unarmed, emotional, looks like he was just crying, & is banging on the door begging to see her after she broke up with him, and you shoot him

Good job, you saved your family

thats why you use your words.

aim the gun at him, fine,
scare him, fine.

but use your words.

no reason to kill.

IGNORE WOMEN, DEFEND PROPERTY, THIS IS THE WAY

or something idk

You know when i was young playing GTA san andreas i would be confused when a npc would look at dead bodies and say "just another day in america" but as i got older it made a lot more sense

the man broke into their home

which is peoples safe space

I don’t condone murder but like all rules are off the table when you breaking and entering

fanfictions itt

As the father, I don’t know or care about any of that context.

I also don’t know if dude has a weapon in his pocket. I don’t know s*** except he’s trying to bring down my door and put my family in danger

I’m not taking the risk of putting my family in danger over feelings

I don’t disagree that a shot was warranted but pauses between the 3 shots seems like he just wanted to kill homie . Everything is circumstantial but this situation just makes me feel weird compared to cases similar to this

America!!!!
we shoot first!!!!
never ask questions after!!!!
now hold my beer.

what if the guy had a rocket launcher???

I do think more than one shot was overkill but in a moment like that you have to understand that adrenaline is pumping, logic is out the window and you’re relying on instinct
