Some of you think you'll think a lot more than I think you'll think in a similar situation.
2:30 a.m., daughter says she doesn't know him, I say don't move, he moves. Boom. It really is that simple and any other reaction (or non reaction) is irrespponsible and potentially deadly for you and yours.
Lesson 1) Don't sneak into somebody's home
Lesson 2) Don't lie to the armed homeowner especially when it's very obvious the outcome could mean the death of an 'innocent'.
Lesson 3) When an armed homeowner tells you to not move, you better pray your center of gravity doesn't shift.

Apparently you were never caught balls deep in your friend and when asked, thrown under the bus by said friend!
Actually, if it goes to court, telling a Grand Jury or Judge that you were in fear of great bodily harm or death is exactly what you should say.

FEAR for your life is a very important part of defense.
Of course it is, but you have to be very careful to not sound like you were making irrational decisions. "fear" and "fear" can be described in a lot of different ways from irrationality to an acknowledgement and acting accordingly.
The argument about whether or not the father made a good shoot is over. I'm not discussing his actions any longer. We're discussing whether or not the kid would have had the right to use force. Rehashing why you gave the father the benefit of the doubt provides no insight into your reasoning for NOT giving the kid the same benefit of the doubt.

Don't know. If the kid was a rapist, does he have the 'right' to use deadly force if he's in 'fear for his life' when confronted by the homeowner?
