Somehow this is the only country on earth where this seems to happen. When talking about shootings involving guns, okay, fine, the US is certainly an outlier there, but every country has cars and police.

This is murder.

      His name is Brett Lee Canada, you’re welcome to look it up. It happened in Lake County, FL. I don’t know what they do with police records of people who are deceased, but that information is there if you want to confirm my honesty.

      Nevermind, I did the work for you: https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2010/01/03/shooting-death-prompts-lawsuit-3/

      The lawsuit went forward and the gentleman was found to have been within his rights to have shot Brett.

      The other incident occurred about 3:30 a.m. Nov. 19 on Spring Hill Avenue in Sorrento, where Brett Lee Canada, 23, was shot and killed by homeowner Shane Biel, who recently had installed an alarm system to deter thefts.

      Biel, 41, who previously reported thefts of commercial lawn equipment from his property, confronted a man inside a fenced area who was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and gloves. Biel told deputies he fired when the man moved aggressively at him.

      Canada, a convicted burglar, had served about two years in prison for property crimes.

      So now you can apologize.
