Your Wednesday Feel Good Story
Chief Tango sends us our feel good story for today, this one from Washington State. A couple of fellows tried to turn their lives around with the property of a business owner who happened to live on his business’ premises;
It happened at Frager Farms, which is located in Frager St. near Meeker St. The owner lives on the property and became aware of something going on in the office of the business that didn’t seem right. He went to the office armed with a shotgun. Inside the office he confronted two men and fired the fatal shot.
We do not yet know if the men were armed. The King County Sherriff’s Office is investigating the incident. Among the questions they need answered is whether deadly force was justified in this incident. Under law, a property owner has the right to defend himself or his property, if he feels his life is in danger.
Yeah, well, if I encounter someone in the dead of night on my property and they don’t belong there, I’m going to assume that my life is in danger rather than wait for one of them to confirm it for me.

If someone is on my property in the middle of the night much less inside a building on my property, the only rational reaction is that they mean to do me harm. If there are two of them and only one of me, it would be highly irrational to NOT reduce their odds before determining just how lethal their intentions might be.
Not good at guessing games here. The fact remains that more of them than him were somewhere they clearly knew that they had entered illegally. Makes much more sense for him to assume the worst than waste time discovering details about their intentions.
“Ding-dong, Avon calling!”
At 2 PM, not a problem.
At 2 AM, BIG problem.
