Harassee Gets Time

My point isn't that you should shoot the kid who sets a bag of poop on fire on your porch.

My point is that if you hear a noise and walk into your living room to find that someone has illegally entered your home, you are already justified in using lethal force in most jurisdictions. Unless your ESP is more effective than mine, you have no idea what the guy is there for, and your life is in danger. Now, you don't HAVE to shoot him, or even own a gun -- that's a personal decision. But don't fool yourself into thinking that your regard for his life is reciprocated.
