There's even a FB page about it:

They don't like logic.
(Things like, "don't break into someone's home & you're less likely to get hurt".)
Then there are the stupid media pieces:
Politiscoop, with the subtitle "citizen journalism; truth matters".
Daily Kos, linking the FL & WI cases.
And
MSNBC with a mishmash of semi-related articles in one day's show.
From the politiscoop page:
Friends who were with Morrison that night say he was just hiding after police arrived at an underage drinking party next door.
And this mitigates anything how, exactly?
Underage drinking (a common crime for Bo), eluding police, breaking & entering...
There are so many questions surrounding this case that there needs to be an outcry from the public to see if this was indeed, a justifiable killing.
Um, no, you need to read the DAs report. That lays out the facts & the law in great detail. This was justifiable, no way around it. The intruder broke into the home. He used force to enter (the door wasn't standing open). The homeowner hadn't invited him to be there.
...how long has the owner owned a gun? I do understand this took place within proximity of his home, but did he recently apply for a conceal carry permit?
No, it happened INSIDE his home, & both how long he had a pistol and if he had or had applied for a carry license have absolutely nothing to do with anything.
Wisconsin decided it was okay to kill another, even if there wasn’t a clear and present danger
No, WI legislators decided that someone illegally in your home, who has entered by force, IS a clear & present danger.
WI Rep. Chris Taylor said:
This law encourages people to resort to vigilantism and use deadly force instead of calling the police. This is a barbaric law that must be immediately repealed.
The police were supposedly already within a block, yet it took them 5min to arrive at the scene of the shooting.
If the victim had waited for police to respond to his call for help he
(& his wife & the 3 kids in the house) could have been dead if the intruder had harmful intent.
If the victim had waited for a clear picture of what was in the intruder's hand he could have been dead if it were a knife or gun.
There is nothing "vigilante" or "barbaric" about self-defense.
Well, OK, maybe it can be barbaric, but a good person will only go to that extreme to stop the threat from the criminal.
