re: Homeowner for the win

Your Google broke or something? You mention Castle Doctrine but apparently don't understand how it works or the case histories which are very important in understanding how the law itself is applied. That varies by state by the way so your blanket statement means nothing in states like Texas, Louisiana, and Florida (context clue right there). Texas mentions burglary in statute which makes it very robust as a defense, other states have broadly defined "residence" and "dwelling" to apply to the property as a whole and not strictly under the roof as you seem to think. Then there is the fact that Florida is one state among many with no "duty to retreat" which in effect extends Castle Doctrine to any place a person has the legal right to be. Now put all this together with the fact that Trevon confronted the person he was burglarizing on their own property and maybe you can start to see where it isn't as cut and dried as you believe.
