Why is this in Tilted Weaponry? This seems like a GD or politics thread.

He was trying to break in, if he would have found a easy way in, he would have gotten into the house. What part of that was missed? Do we just say, "Well he was just a lazy thief, I guess it was ok. I mean, he was only TRYing to break in. No Harm, No Foul."
You try and break into my house, you will be met with a loaded gun and a statement of intent. I will call the cops, but I'm not going to hide until they get here. I'm going to let you know I'm in the house with a loaded weapon and you need to leave, NOW.
Trying to break into my house is the same thing as breaking into my house (in my book). No one should be made to cower in their homes hoping/praying that "The big bad burglar will not rape/murder/kidnap them just steal all their shit". Screw that.
