    Looks like they took outrage into consideration and shot this idea down

    I guess the kids were good kids, but the maintenance worker wasn't a good maintenance worker? Listening to those who are standing up for the kids, I guess they believe that no one has the right to defend themselves. :rolleyes:

    What in the living F did I just watch?
    Wtf?
    Wtf?
    Wtf?

    My head just exploded.
    How long does it take to review camera footage?

    If he shot them out of the blue, charge him (maintenence guy).
    If he was being beat with a baseball bat, or if they were trying to beat him, it's defense. Let him go.
    Castle Doctrine? WTF? Did they just pull that out of their ass? Castle Doctrine has nothing to do with this situation.

    And why are we putting people on TV saying they were good kids?
    Oh, that's right, media drumming up the outrage for ratings at the expense of public calm.

    Yeah, that story doesn't make sense. The maintenance worker IS still in custody. And are we just to assume that these two, a guy and a girl just typically carry baseball bats with them?
    Maybe we're looking at this wrong, and maybe Castle Doctrine does apply. In my experiences, people keep baseball bats either in their cars OR in their homes.... by the door. The shooter was a maintenance guy, right? What if this instance has something to do with him trying to enter the dead people's home?
    I'll have to look into this some more, to find out what happened.

    The maintenance guy wasn't charged. Video indicated it was self defense, good shoot, and stupid games, stupid prizes.

    Such good kids they were just about to turn their lives around, go back to school and create a cure for cancer. Such a loss to society.
