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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
