'TikTok Door Kick Challenge'

DoggyDaddy · Mar 6, 2024

This will get someone shot (and rightfully so). Kids are really stupid!

5 juveniles taken into custody after reports they did viral 'TikTok Door Kick Challenge' in Franklin

Neighbors as far as six houses down heard the juveniles banging and kicking on their neighbor's front door in the middle of the night.

If you want to get yourself shot this is probably as a good way as any.

DoggyDaddy · Mar 6, 2024

Hypothetical... If someone was kicking at my front door, and I were to go out the back door, circle around and catch them in the act, would I be within my rights to shoot them?

My first question would be why aren't their parents aware of where they are? Put the parents in jail and the kids in juvy for a few days and the trend might end quickly.

Not sure but I’d say ‘no’.

I can see the problem with this more in an urban area. Not that it can’t/won’t happen in rural areas.

I could also imagine the parents suing the victim after any negative interaction with said victim.

Just hope the little delinquents have good medical coverage if a tik tok happens out here.

That's kind of what I thought. I just hate the idea of ruining a perfectly good front door.

Not an issue for me, as they'd be well past my gate...

(d) A person:

(1) is justified in using reasonable force, including deadly force, against any other person; and
(2) does not have a duty to retreat;
if the person reasonably believes that the force is necessary to prevent or terminate the other person's unlawful entry of or attack on the person's dwelling, curtilage, or occupied motor vehicle.

This makes it sound like it would be justified. It doesn't specify whether or not the victim must be inside the dwelling. The victim would be "preventing or terminating the other person's unlawful entry" of their dwelling.

I read somewhere that a homeowner in Michigan was prosecuted for shooting through his front door at teenagers pounding on the door at 2am

Something about going Out to meet the disturbance

"Dont get out of the boat" comes to mind.

I'd say an overzealous prosecutor would have a field day with that one. "If you were so afraid for your life, why did you go outside to confront them?"

Shooting through the front door you could at least articulate a fear for your life because you were afraid he would breach the door and then your life would be in eminent danger.

But what if DoggyMama was inside, and I wanted to protect her, while drawing any possible return fire away from her? I know it's a stretch. Just idle ponderings...

A large curtilage is a plus.

Garden gnome placed by the front door filled with Tannerite and marbles and its position clearly marked on the interior wall.

I'd have to have some pretty heavy ordnance to shoot through the wall. My house is Bedford stone over cinderblock.
