Cancer will never be cured at this rate......
So going from the article's headline, since when is shooting to kill a homeowner called "trespassing"?
JFC, the media is really effed up...

From my experience in a city, this is the result of generations living on public assistance who have developed a barbaric attitude towards the 'white picket fencers'.
No charges, but I am sure some were definitely explored until proven untenable due to the evidence and law.
Sounds like the deceased were pillars of the community [facepalm]. "Tragedy" isn't quite the description I would use, unless describing the fallout for the homeowner. I am not a big fan of pot, but he clearly has legal right to be growing his own on his property and an expectation that the product will not be stolen by armed thieves.

Lots of good detail in linked story...

... and since the deceased are not anti-progressive protestors, like their contract security guard offed at the Capitol, the KUSA 9News headline and story have a much different tone:
Quote:
Resident won't be charged for killing teens reportedly stealing marijuana
No charges will be filed in the deadly shooting of two teens reportedly stealing marijuana plants from a Northglenn backyard, the DA's office and police said.

No mention that the resident was being shot at by the perps until deeply into the text.

I disagree about the expectation that his crops will not be stolen.
Growing pot outdoors should come with the expectation that it WILL be stolen at some point. No different than if you are brewing beer and have cases of it in your garage. Pot and beer are easy to turn into cash so are prime targets for theft.
The homeowner likely knew this which is why he opened the door holding a .45.
Poor choices were made all around.
