I think there is some serious confusion with gun rights surrounding risk and penalty with people who say that “Mr. Cutrufelli is entitled to the presumption of innocence.” This is true when it comes to doling out a penalty. The risk occurs at the time and place of the criminal activity. The home owner RIGHTFULLY defends himself with deadly force and the perp trying to rob him of these would be on the receiving end of it. That’s the presumptive risk the crook takes in a society that allows a person to defend themselves and their property.

To put it another way: The penalty for not wearing a seatbelt is a fine IF caught/convicted; the risk is eating some glass before tasting a little pavement and then taking a dirt nap. That’s a big difference

“Drug deal gone wrong? with a 90 yr old man? that doesn’t even pass the laugh test.”

Oh, I’m sure the 90 year old man is on a lot of drugs. Drugs for his heart, lungs, liver, stomach, kidneys, prostrate… The “deal” was of course an effort to steal those, pretty much anything the pharmaceutical industry makes is used by someone to get high on after all.
