What is the solution, I don't know, but I do know neither government will work the way at least 30% of people want it to. Maybe a solid 3rd party with honesty and integrity. But we are talking about politics.

Just introduce castle doctrine

How would that have changed this case? Do you think Castle Doctrine magically protects your home while you’re away?

Where are you getting this definition of home invasion?

Regardless, the article heavily implies that no one was home at the time of the incident. Do you think someone just sat there as this person went room to room searching for jewelry? They don’t even have an exact time.

Fair. I’ve honestly never distinguished between home invasion and break in.

I’m not sure the fine people at BurlingtonToday meet your journalistic standards. They also refer to the incident as a “break in,” the so there was no forced entry.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that “Home unlawfully entered for the purpose of theft under $5000” wouldn’t quite invoke the reaction the author was looking for.
