Police say the homeowner saw Deyfon Pipkins, 33, trying to climb into the window and fired his weapon at least once at the intruder…….
…..After police notified relatives of Pipkins’ death, some showed up at the house. They were upset, and questioned the homeowner’s actions.
“He could have used a warning,” Lakesha Thompson, Pipkins’ sister-in-law, said. “He could have let him know that he did have a gun on his property and he would use it in self-defense.”

I am guessing Deyfon Pipkins was not taught at school that Breaking and Entry is not only against the law but potentially dangerous. And apparently the rest of his family went to school at the Unicorn Fart High School and Nail Salon.
I would facepalm myself, but I am developing repetitive injury after all the crap this week.
Hat Tip to Say Uncle
This comment is solid gold;
“”He could have used a warning.” He did. He used your scumbag brother as the warning to all the other crooks!”
I wish I had said that.
“Pipkins had a lengthy criminal record. He served time in prison and was convicted of theft, possession of a Controlled Substance and criminal trespassing.”
He had all the warning he needed.
Wait, they showed up at his house? Did the cops tell them the guy’s name?
This smells fishier than a dock…
His name and address would have been on the police report, a public record.
He got a clear, unmistakeable, and visually unavoidable warning.
This is a door. Is it YOUR door? Do you have an invitation? If the answer to both questionis ‘No,’, do not open the door and barge in, lest ye be shot must verily.
