A 25-year-old Missouri man says he mistook his mother for an intruder before shooting her to death at their home’s back door.
Prosecutors have charged Jaylen Johnson with manslaughter and armed criminal action in connection with the shooting death on Thursday of his mother, Monica McNichols-Johnson.
McNichols-Johnson’s shooting death came less than a year after another shooting in Missouri saw Ralph Yarl, then 16, get shot on 13 April by 84-year-old Andrew Lester after ringing the wrong doorbell while picking up his siblings.
Never happened to you so the scenario is invalid?
I’ve had armed men break in my house on Christmas Eve. Fuck me, I had a bear wonder in my dog door, laughably on Christmas Eve again. Had a wolf hybrid come in another time. He was my buddy though, knew him.
I hope you’re never helpless and defenseless.
Don’t leave us hanging. Was the wolf hybrid on Christmas Eve too?
Then on Christmas Day he was opening his presents and boom, out jumps a mountain lion.
Did you have a child die screaming and terrified on their classroom floor at the hands of a legal gun owner? Were you ever hunted in a mall by a teenage extremist with a semi-automatic rifle?
Actually fuck it, did you even shoot the “armed men” or dog-sized bear, or did it turn out you didn’t even need your guns in the bullshit you just made up.
That’s very clearly not true.
I wonder if the armed men looked anything like this.
What was it wondering about?
STATISTICALLY it’s invalid. Even your examples are not applicable because it sounds like they didn’t want to cause you any bodily harm, they just wanted a house to easily rob of Christmas presents. Same thing with the bear and wolf, it didn’t come in there wanting to hurt you, it just wanted food.
In both of these cases the best defense isn’t shooting at an unidentified figure in the distance on an assumption that it’s someone coming in with an intent to hurt you
