    Even if they have that in Indiana, this clearly shouldnt apply. Simply walking up to a house is not evidence of an invasion, otherwise every Halloween would be target practice.

          Peairs was an “average Joe”, a man just like the jury members’ neighbors, a man who “liked sugar in his grits”.

          K. Should’ve found him guilty just for liking sweet grits.

        This kind of thing happens all the fucking time in the USA .

        Three shootings all happened in the span of six days and involved what some say were harmless occurrences: a Missouri teenager ringing the wrong doorbell while trying to pick up his younger siblings; a group of friends in New York pulling into the driveway of a home they thought belonged to another friend ; and a Texas cheerleader accidentally opening the door of the wrong car.
