Anyone remember Yoshihiro Hattori or Rodney Peairs?
In a sense, this reminds me of the incident that occurred Halloween night in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, involving Rodney Peairs, who shot and killed Yoshihiro Hattori. Under the circumstances, I've always been critical of Webb Haymaker for not supervising Hattori more responsibly. Haymaker could have defused the situation promptly. Instead, he stood by and watched Hattori be shot.
Gordley's friends could have been more responsible. Perhaps they were intoxicated, too.
A thorough investigation may reveal unpleasant truths.
I'd love to think that at 2 AM when suddenly faced with a home invader, in a split second I could asses his actions, behavior, body language and say oh crap its just a drunk kid, or this is a serious threat.
I'd love to think that. Reality? Your home has been invaded. Your family and self are likely in danger. Your hearts racing. Adrenaline is pumping. You come face to face with a homeowners worst nightmare. Instincts will take over and you will do what you believe needs doing.
Certainly just my $.02
