Missouri man fatally shoots his mother at home after mistaking her for intruder
Jaylen Johnson charged with manslaughter after shooting death of his mother at their home’s back door in St Louis suburb
A 25-year-old Missouri man says he mistook his mother for an intruder before shooting her to death at their home’s back door.
Prosecutors have charged Jaylen Johnson with manslaughter and armed criminal action in connection with the shooting death on Thursday of his mother, Monica McNichols-Johnson.
McNichols-Johnson’s shooting death came less than a year after another shooting in Missouri saw Ralph Yarl, then 16, get shot on 13 April by 84-year-old Andrew Lester after ringing the wrong doorbell while picking up his siblings.

You know how I know you're lying? I'm not American, for a start.
There are other shithole countries other than the US.
If you need guns just to be safe, you by definition live in a shithole.
calling the US a shithole country is the most privleged thing ive ever heard
LOLWUT
How is that privileged?
i am sure someone in a war torn country is saying "gee it sucks my family is getting killed, but at least im not in a shithole like the united states"
calling the united states a shithole is an insult to actual countries that suck to live in, it just shows you probably dont know much about how bad it can get. there is a reason millions immigrate to the US
What are you gonna tell me next, no ones ever broke into a rural property late at night in your country?
You think lethal violence is an appropriate response to a burglary? If you responded like that over here you’d be going to prison for far, far longer than the burglar would.
You don’t need a gun, you need a shrink.
It's fucking painful when they think they're clever. You're defending what? That it's cool home invaders get very little consequences for their actions? Yes. I absolutely do. You value your life, stay out of other peoples homes.
If you think your crappy shit is worth more than a persons life then you are truly sick in the head.
I'm not the one judging the value of their life. They are. What's the matter with you, could you see something bad happening to you? Is this a risk you've took?
So you deem yourself judge, jury and executioner?
You truly live in a lawless shithole if you think like that.
You're not listening. Stay the fuck out of peoples houses, you deserve everything you get, and it ain't the person lives there decided that, you did. "lawless shithole" sounds more like a place you can break n enter with near impunity.

We have a functional justice system where I live. Guilt and punishment is established in court in a fair trial, not by a random redneck with a gun. I know this must be a novel concept for you but I ensure you it is the civilized way to do it.
So, what you're saying is that you value a person's right to break into your home and do whatever they please far more than you value your person, your family and all of your property, because they might hypothetically be punished at some later date. I just hope if someone breaks into your home they're just looking for something to steal they can turn quick for drug money and not looking to do you and yours harm.
Your redneck with a gun scenario in the US is answered by the castle doctrine - the basic premise is that if someone is invading your home you hold the right to use deadly force to stop them. It's well known here, and it's not like you just accidentally do a home invasion. Stay out of other people's homes uninvited and it's not a problem.
