    It’s likely? You go too far. It’s possible but your reading that it’s likely isn’t supported by the text.

      Huh? How does the text not support this being likely?

        If you think there is enough information in this article to draw that conclusion, you are reading into the text. It doesn’t have the information you would need to get there. All it says is he was given weapons charges. We don’t know why or the nature of the supposed weapon. If he was walking around with the pry bar that he used to open the front door with or whatever, he could easily draw a weapon charge, but that doesn’t mean that by using lethal force, the homeowner “likely” avoided having it used against them. The information we have allows for the possibility that it prevented the intruder’s weapon use; it doesn’t let someone say that did or didn’t happen, just that it’s possible.

          We can absolutely conclude what was likely

      So if somebody breaks into your home with a weapon, you should just assume they’re just there for a friendly chat or what? What a braindead take. Have a nice funeral.

        Your wild emotions are making you read things that aren’t even there. It would be pointless to engage with you until you get yourself sorted out.

        And investigations are launched in those incidents to determine things like whether it was actually a deadly weapon or an inhaler that the cops lied about.
