Man Charged For Shooting Teen Through His Front Door
In 2013 Joe Biden told Americans to shoot through their front doors to keep people away from their homes
Earlier today I spoke about the Ralph Yarl case — the 16 year-old shot and nearly killed by an 84 year-old homeowner after the teen went to the wrong house to pick up his younger twin brothers. The homeowner, Andrew Lester, turned himself into police today.
According to authorities, Lester allegedly thought that Yarl was trying to break into his home, even though various media reports say that Yarl had either knocked or rang the door bell. Lester reportedly shot Yarl through the home’s storm door.
Now I don’t know if Lester followed Biden’s advice — the point is to highlight Biden’s recklessness and eagerness to use tragedy to juice anti-2A advocacy:
He’s right, no parent should have to worry about that but unfortunately we have a president who tells people to do asinine things like “You want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door.” Either that or fire your gun off of your balcony.
As I said on air, it’s hard to see how this is a case of self defense, unless there is something authorities haven't yet released that dramatically alters the story from what we know so far.
The Clay County Prosecutor said that there was a racial component in the case but failed to provide evidence for the claim.
Despite gun control groups using it to attack Stand Your Ground laws, SYG isn’t applicable here. Yarl ringing Lester’s doorbell or knocking on his door doesn’t justify use of any force in response, much less lethal force, and Castle Doctrine is only in play if there was reasonable fear of danger. From what’s been publicly reported I don’t see anything that would satisfy that legal requirement.
I'm not surprised, as we all know or should know that you can't shoot through a door and then shoot a person as they are trying to get away...
This dumb mentally ill man is a danger to society. What hasn't he done said or lied about during his tenure as a politician? He raped his intern and got away with it even though God keeps copious records. He's a bought out head of a crime family that many documents proved his guilt. He said your your children belong to the teachers to poison them with critical race theory and of course he bows to China and the lgbtq demons. Let's not forget the trans community is the soul of the nation. This despot for sure is hell bound. Happy Burning 🔥
