Most of us Ronin snuck out of the house at one time or another when we were young so that is kind of a non-issue. I snuck out all the time when i was kid ( this is probably why I ended up in military school ). Admittedly I wasn't an angel, though i never stole anything or vandalized someone's property with the exception of some toilet paper in a tree or two. Maybe times have changed or I lived in an area where no one one would of considered shooting someone at first glance on their property. Parenting isn't up to the kid. I had good parents and i still raised a little hell. The shoot appears to be in the commission of a crime so it was probably legal. I guess we all have a personal threshold on where lethal force is warranted.
