Say some young folk is coming back home very wasted after a good night party, and mistakes his house. The fact that it depends on the good or bad judgement of his neighbor to end up dead that night, is objectively not something that makes society better. Why are people even allowed to wield a gun without due process and frequent psycho-technical test evaluations? (so as to not get into the "why at all" question). My instinct here (as a non-american) is that if you're allowing citizens to have firearms, it ought at least to be only for those best prepared to evaluate conditions and situations, not anyone who's been watching YouTube videos as a poor-man's replacement for proper training.
decades ago, this scenario occured with a highschool hangaround.
he was drunk and high, came back from a party, actually broke in through his nieghbours door, 3 doors away, and encountered a 70 some year old cowering man who fearedfor life and safety, stabbed him and nearly killed him.
police closed the "case" and both parties charges were dismissed.
it would have been different if the door wasnt breached.
in the case in topic, it would have been different if both parties announced themselves, and cleaner took the hint from google map inconsistencies.
Even if a building, is suppossed to be empty, or unoccupied, Always confirm with your client you are at the right place, Announce Yourself, and avoid costly mistaken jobsite identification.
the blame goes all around here.
we have similar stand your ground laws where i am, and we call people, or call out while "walking up on someone"
we are also not allowed to carry on someone private property unless explicit, and enduring permission is given by the owner/controller of the property.
A man shoots through a closed and locked door that no one is actually knocking down, and you think the housecleaner fumbling through keys on the porch is at all to blame for her own death? He was a paranoid coward who probably would have killed a neighbor kid one day if he hadn't killed her first.

You actually shout this when walking down the street behind someone? What a terrible place you must live in.

U.S. Government Launches “Thoughts & Prayers” Subscription Service to Streamline Response to Tragedies
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a bold move to modernize federal disaster response, the U.S. government today launched a new “Thoughts & Prayers+” subscription service, allowing Americans to automatically send condolences with one click every time tragedy strikes.
“Why waste precious seconds typing heartfelt responses when you can automate empathy?” said Homeland Sympathy Secretary Chad Grimshaw, unveiling the app alongside a golden emoji of praying hands. “Whether it’s a mass shooting, natural disaster, or devastating celebrity breakup, Thoughts & Prayers+ ensures you’re covered.” (more)

It sure sounds like Mr. Andersen killed a house cleaner.

What does he think happens when a bullet goes through someone?
