    It’s a wonder the homeowner didn’t get arrested too, especially since it’s Bloomington.

    Yeah honestly I'm surprised the DA didn't jump at the chance to charge the homeowner.

    The story as told doesn't sound like a very good use of force, or at least not a very smart one. First of all he got caught flat-footed without immediate access to a gun. Second, through some means it sounds like the door got opened, which should never happen unless someone has broken it down. Third, he had an interaction with this guy and got some kind of read on him, and then attempted to use a gun to solve the problem of a standard issue Bloomington homeless person hanging out on his porch. That is not a deadly force problem.

    I think the homeowner is quite lucky that he didn't successfully put a bullet in this guy, or anyone else. He's dancing on the edge of the abyss as it is.

    Dont get out of the boat. I think somebody very smart said that.

    Wasnt that a Coach-ism? Or was it our well dressed rodent? I forget.
    Chef from Apocalypse Now. Also it might be a line from one of our resident attorneys, possibly from West Lafayette.
