1. Tragic waste of human life

Mr. Rory David Rodriguez made some poor choices.

3. Exactly. I see little reason to celibrate any death ...

But it appears the home owner is not facing any charges. That's positive.

4. That's exactly what Castle Doctrine laws are supposed to do

Protect people who make justifiable use of force in self-defense.

5. I support Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground laws ...

similar to those in Florida for the fact that if you do use legitimate self defense you can't be sued in civil court.

2. Solid Defense. Sorry it had to happen. n/t

6. Don't want to get shot?

Don't break into someone's home. Not that complex of an equation.

7. To be fair

The Trinidad Police think the shooting is gang related but since the evidence and the eyewitness testimony all back the homeowner they're letting it go.

Saw it the other night on KRDO I'll try to find the link
