Why, yes . . . when you break into someone else’s home it can be considered “frightening” when the resident has a gun and shoots you for, you know, breaking into his home. From ABC 7 serving the San Francisco Bay area:

What apparently started as a home invasion turned quickly into a frightening scene for the suspects, after the resident started shooting. https://t.co/OVnbbbBzkI — ABC7 News (@abc7newsbayarea) January 19, 2019

That above trash headline links to the actual story which is from ABC 13 Houston. Their take for Texas readers is just slightly different:

5 shot and 3 dead after home invasion in east Houston https://t.co/80Sc806IGZ pic.twitter.com/iJRgQRnqe6 — ABC13 Houston (@abc13houston) January 20, 2019

Honest question here . . . wtf was ABC 7 thinking?

Because the home invasion wasn’t frightening for the homeowners… wtf kind of headline is this?? https://t.co/qwGxRv6a01 — Brent Arthur Stanton (@bastanton) January 20, 2019

A frightening scene for the home invaders? You people have lost your damn minds, in every conceivable way. People have a right to protect their property. — Brandon Smith (@bsmith_NYC) February 11, 2019

Good, hope they were petrified. Means they were easier for the resident too shoot. — Asushotgex (@allansolano3) February 11, 2019

@abc7newsbayarea you should really stretch before reaching like that. You might strain something with ask that bull. — Landon (@LandonNoel) February 11, 2019

Oh those poor home invaders, whatever could have prevented such a thing? https://t.co/rjNKylyQSA — Mike Morrison (@MikeKMorrison) February 11, 2019
