If Shrooms were legal, this never would have happened. I think. That's what everybody says. I don't get it.

A similar incident happened in Colorado not too long ago. Really drunk guy tries to get in wrong house. Starts yelling when his key dosent work. Homeowner gets pistol. Drunk breaks window to crawl through, homeowner shoots him. Homeowner protected by the make my day law.

I am totally ok with that.

Who does shrooms by themselves?

Have not heard that in years.....

Sucks for him.

"Never turn your back on a drug" Hunter S Thompson

what else is new?  we know and live this.

Life's hard.  It's even harder when you're stupid.

Sucks for everybody involved.

But he was just a miss understood druggie who wanted a peaceful glass of water.

Yep.  I don't fault the guy for shooting as he certainly didn't know the back story.  But it sucks as the kid was just being an idiot, not a dangerous one.

Dying patient:  "Please doctor, it hurts sooooo bad!"



Detective:  "Doctor, he doesn't get that morphine until we get the names of those degenerates that sold him that evil drug!"

Now you've done it.  Stand by for all the tweakers to pile on.  "Everyone I've ever known smokes all day every day and they're all millionaire captains of industry.........."

It was an older woman in the Springs, shot the guy thru the front door, one shot DRT..  No charges filed by DA.

Eta:  Sorry, forgot the one up North, same situation, wrong house, bam!  My baybay di'n't do nuffin', we need to change the law.

This article has the potential to be a good example of why you hunker down and protect your family, rather than trying to sneaky pete around.



Oh yeah:   Good Shoot

Nobody ever went to the wrong house while drunk either.

darn

So how many rounds from my G17 would it take to drop a dude bombed out of his skull breaking into my house?

Say it ain't so...

They aren't legal and it happened, now what?





 

Intoxicated people tend to do some stupid things.

Botetourt home intruder likely drunk, police say
Botetourt County officials said the homeowner would not face charges.

Audio: 911 call of shooting





Click the play button to hear the 911 call made by Jody Hoover, in which he can be heard shooting Jerry Lee Jones Jr in what the Botetourt County Commonwealth's Attorney Joel Branscom determined was a justifiable homicide.

Editor's note: This audio represents close to 13 minutes of conversation between Hoover, his wife and a 911 dispatcher. Hoover hands the phone to his wife while he retrieves his gun.

Other voices heard include those of Jerry Lee Jones Jr, and radio traffic from deputies being sent to the scene. The dispatcher can also be heard relaying information to deputies.

Portions of the recording, including long stretches of silence or inactivity, have been edited out.


The sister of a man who was fatally shot after breaking into a Botetourt County home said Tuesday that she believes her brother was drunk and confused about where he was.

Jerry Lee Jones Jr.'s blood-alcohol content was more than four times the legal limit for driving when he died, Botetourt County Sheriff Ronnie Sprinkle said Tuesday.

Jody Hoover, 46, shot and killed the 35-year-old Jones after Jones broke into the Hoover family's house in the Nace area of the county Friday night.

Commonwealth's Attorney Joel Branscom and the sheriff's office reviewed the evidence, including the recording of a 911 call made by Hoover, and decided not to charge the homeowner, according to a news release from the sheriff's office.

Authorities didn't release the men's names until Tuesday because Jones' identity had to be confirmed through fingerprints and Hoover was still under investigation, Branscom said.

Jones' sister, Margaret Jones, said he had been depressed and was drinking because Friday was their late father's birthday.

Jones was in a vehicle with a friend, Joe Harper, but when Jones became violent, the friend dropped him off near the Hoover home, the news release said.

Harper lived in the area, and Margaret Jones said she believes her brother thought he was at Harper's house when he was banging on the Hoovers' door.

"I'm sorry for the family, but I don't think he went there to hurt them," she said. "He couldn't have known what he was doing."

In the 911 recording, Jody Hoover calls the sheriff's office and tells a dispatcher that there is a "strange man outside our home, and he's hollerin' and he's crying out. I don't know what's going on with him."

Hoover hands the phone to his wife while he gets his double-barreled, 12-gauge shotgun.

Jones can be heard yelling and repeatedly banging on the back sliding glass door.

Hoover's wife tells the dispatcher that the man is talking about Vietnam and 1969, and that he asked Jody Hoover for the date.

Hoover talks to the man from inside. "I don't want to hurt you," he says. "I can't let you in.

"Please, just go away. Please."

About seven and a half minutes after Hoover calls 911, Jones shatters the glass door with a wrought-iron chair and tries to come in.

Hoover told authorities that he shot at Jones twice. Deputies arrived at the house as the shots were fired. Jones was pronounced dead at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital.

Jones lived about two miles from the Hoovers but did not know them, Sprinkle said.

In 2005, Jones was found guilty in Botetourt County of brandishing a firearm and in 1999 and 2000 he was found guilty in Roanoke County of driving under the influence.

Hoover's mother-in-law and two sons were also at the house.

News researcher Belinda Harris contributed to this report.

I guess it would depend on where those rounds ended up.

I wouldn't hear a scream, I would have heard a boom.  Damn people teach your wife how to shoot.

Very zombie-like attack

I guess that was more of a rhetorical question.    I hope that I never have to find out.



 

Yeah I figured, I guess (still haven't got enough coffee in me)

He wuz jes 'bout ta turn his lahf around!

He a good boy

He di nt do nuffin

Dey di nt have ta shoot him

He wuz an aspiring rap artist.

No, doing stupid shit has always been illegal, that would not change.



What we say is that all of your intrusive and immoral laws have only served to prop up the income of criminals without abating the proliferation of drugs.

I'm with you guys on legalization of some drugs. God knows the current plans/laws are not working very well. Add the issues with organized crime setting up shop and doing something the states may as well get in on, legalize,  and make a few bucks, and maybe even save a few lives, and who knows, in a perfect world,  most of us who are mature enough will not go insane once drugs are legal, and abuse the shit out of them.

My issue is with  Heroin and watching its devastating effects on my small city. In a perfect world, individuals could be trusted to take whatever they want, and have a great time, and that would be the end of it. I just don't have as much faith as you guys do, on how certain people will act when the gates are opened and we finally legalize this stuff.  We've tired everything else and its not working that great. Pretty soon I think we are going to be forced to take that next step. I also understand, for some people, its a matter of individual rights. I get that too. I think we all should have the right to have Class III weapons, but, that doesn't mean everybody is mature enough to be trusted in their possession/use of such items. Where do we draw the line?  

I fully agree with the statement   "No, doing stupid shit has always been illegal, that would not change."   If we could somehow tax silliness and stupidity, we would all be rich.

When drugs are legalized:

drug users become smart
lazy drug users become hard working
dishonest drug users become honest
drug dealers turn their backs on illegal actions, and
drugs stop creating problems that other people are left to clean up

Yup, legalization is the answer...obviously.

This is a sad event.

Stupid hurts. In this case, for just an instant.
