As much as i love arguing about racial politics...
The fact of the matter is, Massachusetts might as well be a different country. Yankee country.
These yankees see things a whole lot differently than we do. Victims don't need protecting, criminals do, In Massachusetts.
I'm just happy i live in a state that has at least some of the values i grew up with. Even if you can't completely escape some of the more liberal ideas running around.
Legally, He's ****ed, if you'll pardon my french. They don't have a castle doctrine there. Even in Oklahoma, it's hard to argue because he didn't actually enter the residence. Breaking a window is not necessarily breaking and entering. If he entered the home, in Oklahoma, it'd have been a legal shoot. in Massachusetts, you have to run away like a little girl and do everything you can feasibly do to run away before you can legally shoot as an absolute last resort. There is no castle doctrine or 'no duty to retreat' laws in Massachusetts like there is in Oklahoma.
In Oklahoma, you have to 'have reasonable belief' that a break in is or was occurring for it to be a legal shoot.
Morally, in my opinion;
"If a thief is caught in the act of breaking into a house and is struck and killed in the process, the person who killed the thief is not guilty of murder." -- Exodus 22:2

My late father once told me that if had a nickel for every black man he arrested that said he was "Jamaican" he would be rich. Point being there were not a lot of Jamaicans in Southern California.
What's that old saying.....sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me....ya, that's it, pretty sure I learned that in grade school, this PC crap has got to come to a head and the folks like maybe a couple on here need to either learn to look past or, and this is my suggestion, don't give a crap about it, makes me wonder the age of certain individuals doing all the pissing and moaning
Tough call for sure. Possibly B and E though. Depends whether the kid broke the plane which can be the entering portion. Hard spot for a homeowner to be in for sure. Wish we could hear their conversation.
The only True African American I have ever personally met is a white guy from what used to be Rhodesia.
