A Marine who was shot and killed by a Colorado homeowner after he forced his way inside a house mistook the residence for his own after a night of drinking, his family said.
Christopher Nelson, 32, was killed Friday, three blocks from his home in southwest Denver. Nelson's sister Danielle Krehbiel told KMGH-TV this week that her brother was walking home from a bar after drinking too much and thought the house was his.
...
The homeowner, who has not been identified, will not face criminal charges. District Attorney Mitch Morrissey announced Monday that the homeowner acted within the bounds of Colorado's "Make My Day" law. |

This article was obviously written by a liberal.
The correct designation for the law that allows one to protect his home is the Castle Doctrine.
The "make my day" nomenclature is a liberal fabrication to denigrate legal use of force, making it seem that the victim was a trigger happy redneck just looking to shoot someone.
"At the time, Mesa County District Attorney Pete Hautzinger said the shooting involving "foolish, drunken children" likely was not what lawmakers had in mind when they adopted the law."
Another liberal fabrication. This is not a new concept. The basis for Castle Doctrine goes back hundreds of years. The lawmakers only codified it into each states statues. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
