    What home invader Rings the doorbell? And he shot him as he was driving away. This defense is shit.

      Exactly. I’m a terrible liar, can’t do it to save my life, so I have huge… well, not really respect, but maybe bafflement towards people who are able to spout this caliber of bullshit with a straight face.

      It happens more often than you’d think these days. They pretend to be a dasher, the police, a maintenance worker, a tree trimming service. Anything to get in the door, especially if they’re already planning on violence.

      Obviously you still shouldn’t shoot at people just for being in your driveway or at your door though.

      Edit: the guy who killed the politicians in Minnesota literally rang their doorbell. You’re a fucking dipshit.

        Bullshit.

        shooting at the DoorDash driver’s car on 2 May as the person was trying to leave Reilly’s property.

        Stop making excuses for shitty people.

          No, it happens, unfortunately. No one’s making excuses for this crazy asshole in the article. You’re just reading way too far into what I said and you’re assuming I must feel like this was justified. It wasn’t. But if the question is, as it was, “what kind of home invader rings the doorbell?” The answer is “uh, plenty of them do that.”

          If you, in good faith, believe otherwise, then congrats on living somewhere without an abhorrent rate of violent crime. You are officially privileged enough to be delusional. Now educate yourself.

          I’ve been robbed exactly as described.

          EDIT: I lied. Never been robbed at knife point by men acting a role to get my door open. I’m secretly a right-wing plant meant to sow paranoia. Never happened.

              Had some valuables that the local lowlifes found out about, by sending their kids over to spy through the windows. They sent two thugs, big and small, brains (heh) and muscle.

              They knocked on the door pretending to be friends of friends, saying someone needed help. Opened the door and out came the knives. Got slammed into the corner and told to STFU while they got what they came for.

              And BTW, just because real life doesn’t fit your white boy, suburban background, fuck you.

              It might be bullshit, but it’s also hardly a stretch. Home invasions do in fact happen, and anybody with half a brain would pretend to have a reason to be there. Door dash, etc make an easy cover that’s not hard to pull off.

              That doesn’t support shooting at a fleeing driver or a bunch of other crazy shit in this instance, and it shouldn’t make anybody paranoid that every delivery driver might be there to kill them. The guy with a pizza box walking up your front sidewalk is overwhelmingly likely to be delivering a pizza.

          That’s not a counterargument, these are unfortunately things that really happen irrespective of how you percieve them, and I’m a leftist. No reason to be a smarmy little fuck.

      Maybe the Doordash guy didn’t give him his food and he was really hungry so he shot at him. A hangry murder attempt.
