Kennedy had been drinking at a local golf course and his blood-alcohol level of 0.26 was more than three times the legal limit of 0.08 for driving in Colorado when he pulled up outside Parsons' house in his pickup. Friends and family members believe he thought he had arrived at his own home, which he shared with roommates at 3212 N. Institute St., one block to the west at the same house number.

Yep, he had two of the lawyer babes from Fox debating it. One didn't like it, the other explained it was "castle doctrine". O'Reilly was all for it, said people had a right to defend themselves and their homes.
one can be a Democrat, or one can choose to be an American.
