Never said that. Never even implied it. In fact have a gander at the first (1) thing I said.The police shouldn't bother with him?

Why are you specifically asking me this?It's a question.
YEP!!! That he was apparently committing some crime with his grow operation is just icing on the cake of stupid. Even if he had not been doing something criminal, firing through a door is DUMB. Now if he was doing something criminal it makes more sense. He of course did not want to call Cops to his operation. Suspect this may be part of why he is still in jail. Not only a bad shoot but, crime involved that lead to the shoot. Bottom line the old line, "play stupid games, win stupid prizes".What it comes down to it, white, black, brown, purple with pink polka dots - shoot thru a door at an unknown person, you are most likely going to jail - eventually. Not sure that such a person needs to be kept in jail until their trial, or that it is murder and not manslaughter (debatable) - if they are disarmed and kept disarmed - but to jail they will go.
Yeah......so, there are laws in place. But, when is a Law worth enforcing?He said the falling arrest numbers are proof cops are reluctant to get involved in any loosies complaint because they believe the department won't support them.
"They're afraid of getting sued," Mullins said. "They're afraid of discipline.
"No one believes the department has their back."
When it is too the benefit of the powers that be.The police are balancing........consider......
NYPD arrests for untaxed cigarettes down sharply since Garner’s chokehold death
No one wants a repeat. Arrests for selling untaxed cigarettes have dropped dramatically since Eric Garner’s chokehold death in 2014, the Daily News has learned. Garner, 43, was stopped for al…www.nydailynews.com

Aloha, Mark
IMO always. If all laws were always enforced, I doubt the general public (who would be feeling it) would stand for those laws that don't make much sense. Imagine if every person who violated the speed limit was strictly ticketed, every time it was possible to do so.But, when is a Law worth enforcing?
Is it "criminal" because his license expired?YEP!!! That he was apparently committing some crime with his grow operation is just icing on the cake of stupid.
Like I said, enforce them all strictly, and wait a bit. People will get a lot of laws repealed shortly. That would be great. We have way too many laws.Is it "criminal" because his license expired?
Would you say the same thing if this was a restaurant supply warehouse whose business license had expired?
I am calling it "criminal" in that he was, if this is to be believed, he was running a grow operation he had no permit for. So if I have a place that sells liquor, and I have no license from the state am I committing a crime?Is it "criminal" because his license expired?

You can grow in any state on the west coast, and several others, for private use without a permit yes. But he was growing for commercial use. He should have had a valid license.I am calling it "criminal" in that he was, if this is to be believed, he was running a grow operation he had no permit for.

Not a lawyer, did not stay in a Holiday Inn, so no expertise on CA laws. I take it you are trying to say someone can grow pot in CA now with no license and if caught its not a crime?
I did not know they had gone that far there but, if they have it would not really surprise me. Kind of surprised a lot of people in that state bother to pay for state issued licenses since its nothing if they decide not to give the state their money for permission.
<shrug> the law does not often care what any of us "feel". I don't like a lot of the laws we have but, how I feel about them really means nothing. If I choose to violate any of them no black robe cares how I feel about it. If he was breaking the law he knew he was and chose to do so. So he added criminal activity to a really stupid shoot. Now how I "feel" about it really means nothing unless I ended up on his jury, which of course is not going to happen. Being as how I "feel" about the scum trying to break in they would not get my vote to convict him. Since he is in CA though I would not hold out much hope for him to get 12 people who are pro his right to shoot someone. Again, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I doubt he still thinks growing that pot was such a great idea now but, little late now.You can grow in any state on the west coast, and several others, for private use without a permit yes. But he was growing for commercial use. He should have had a valid license.
I am saying I don't consider him to be a criminal just because his license expired, any more than I consider someone who has a food truck but has an expired permit/license to be a criminal. I don't consider permits/licenses for activities/items that are not in and of themselves crimes to be criminal activities. Just as I do not consider people who concealed carry without a permit to be a criminal.
Is it technically a crime? In some areas, yes, others no. Should it be a crime? No.
Pretty much the bottom line for me as well. The guy bypassed any legalities of dealing with an intruder.You do not get to fire through a door and kill an unidentified person and go free. Not in my book.

Consider for a moment......that attitudes about "property" are changing rapidly. Then add.....it's MEDICAL MJ. Rrrrright......obviously......the potential theft was to help with a medical issue/problem.
