That was so awful but I don’t think the home owner should be imprisoned. They had every right to defend their home.
Nobody even entered the home. She was shot through the door.
I understand your negative attitude but the door was not where the property line was. Her mistake took place at the property line when she crossed it.
Do you think the shooter did anything wrong?
I have stated facts. Those facts were negative. If she was on their grass would the shooting have been acceptable, since they own their lawn?

No.
It’s difficult to say “acceptable” because death is difficult to accept. If the shooter felt threatened on his or her own property, they had the right to protect their space. That doesn’t mean you have to like it and you don’t have to accept it but that’s the law.
I think the law is a bit gray. The owner has to feel threatened. I have never feared for my life because someone was at my door. This looked like an expensive neighborhood. Probably a racist.
I had thought of doing Uber eats as a side gig in the winter. I think it’s too dangerous at this point.

It is total insanity to think it’s ok to shoot someone through a door because they went to the wrong house. Is every Amazon driver now fair game for someone to shoot? Truly insane.

Would you just stand there and watch while someone you don’t know crossed your boundary, Reg.
Yes, Michele, if someone walked up to my door and knocked, I would just stand there. Maybe say, “hi, what can I do for you?” And so would 99.99% of Americans until this latest crop of insane right wing republican nutjobs.
No doubt, institutionally biased nutjobs but if you felt threatened any one of them would race to your defense, which is much more than what I could say about your best buddy, provided you have one. So if you felt threatened you would still open your door and say hi, ask how they are doing, maybe invite them in for coffee? How would you deal with a perceived threat at your door, Reg?
No, Michele, if I felt threatened I would say loudly through the door, “Who are you, and what do you want?” I would not shoot through the door because I’m not an effing lunatic.
No, Dahling. The rich do not answer the door. One buzzes them up, but only after they have, through their attorney, discovered their name, age, phone number, address, marital status, number of children, food choices, career path and hobbies.

Reg lives in Whalley section of Surrey. There are 6 sections of Surrey and Whalley has more murders than all the other 5 combined. Recently the community police station a few blocks away from Reg was shot at and the crook arrested. Homeless problem in Whalley is obvious but better than it was. Reg has spent much time in Columbia and that has a way higher crime rate than Canada. Terrorists killed the entire Supreme Court and burned it down. Reg and his wife are excellent immigrants to Canada. Please vote for Linda for Mayor and re-elect Bosa in Surrey.

While Whalley has a reputation for crime within Surrey, comparing it to U.S. cities is absurd. Surrey’s overall murder rate is roughly 1.17 per 100,000, which makes it one of the safer urban areas anywhere. Major American cities run far higher—Washington, D.C. around 39, Detroit around 32, St. Louis above 50. Even cities people think of as “safe,” like San Francisco, are still several times worse. And there isn’t a single U.S. city with a population comparable to Surrey—around 680,000+ people—that comes close to a homicide rate this low. So yes, Whalley can feel rough around the edges, but the numbers make it clear: Surrey is nowhere near the violent reality of big American cities.
Hahahahahahaja!!! Impressive work.
While Greg races to defend Reg as an ordinary person in a high crime neighborhood and Reg deflects his claim with statistics on crime in America, both fail to address the issue that Reg is shielded from crime in his cushy apartment building, where one never even has to expose himself to the dangers outside, with an underground garage, unless he’s making the claim that anyone can just walk into Reg’s building without security clearance. What a big load of nonsense. You both should be ashamed of yourselves for being so prideful that you can’t even confirm my statement for fear you have to admit you’re wrong or worse, that I am right, as usual lol.
What are you on about, Michele? Sure there’s good security at both of my properties but I walk all over both Surrey and Vancouver. I take the Skytrain which is filled with our worst people. I walk the Downtown Eastside which is our worst area. I’m hardly isolated.
I’m not talking about you being isolated. I’m talking about being shielded from threats whereas the shooter may not have had the same protection, which makes it easy for you to judge their situation.
Yes Canada has less murder than America. America has the highest homicide rate per capita for the G20. My comments about Whalley though are totally accurate.
Reg worked for his money. He goes to restaurants and shopping like everyone else and trips to Vancouver.
