Sean Taylor Case Update - 3 Detained In Homicide

[Nors]

I'm pretty sure if an armed intruder breaks into your house.

You are within the law to kill that person in self defense.

You hate to speculate in tragic events like this, but most robbers I have ever read about don't go into bedrooms in the middle of the night brandishing a weapon. Seems really strange. Perhaps the intruders were doing this for the first time, but it doesn't make a lot of sense.

I was annoyed how this was portrayed from the beginning as a robbery or burglary (what's the difference) gone bad? The result is murder. Breaking a window and stealing a DVD player from the basement is a robbery.

Going into someone's bedroom with a brandished and loaded gun is murder if you ask me. Doesn't make sense to me unless they were totally unaware anyone was home OR wanted to get info from the Taylors, whatever. I sure hope the police are looking at it from a Murder angle and aren't guessing this is a bungled heist.

Stupid, tragic, and terrible, regardless.

I was watching a show on CourtTV, where this guy installed video surveillance in his house, and while he was gone, 3 people broke into his house, in the middle of the day, and one was concealing a handgun in his hoodie

so some robbers do carry weapons just in case

I'm not aware of Florida law, hope they are considered adults at 16. Theres a dozen of possible scenarios that can occur so its not possible to say "I can't see how this" or "its not possible for home robbers to carry guns." These punks should be taken off the streets.

I believe if an armed intruder breaks into your house you are allowed to protect yourself. The point is moot in regards to this case.
