The above link is a news story out of Chula Vista, California.

It's a dreary story we've all seen before: drunk mistakes another house for his own, tries to break in.

He catches a round in the leg. The homeowner would have been justified in a COM (Center of Mass) shot,
but he apparently had time to stop the threat with just a leg shot. Which still could have been deadly
if the femoral artery had been pierced.

At this point no charges have been charged against either the drunk man or the homeowner who shot him

Interesting that neither one has been charged with a crime.

Quite possibly because of lack of provable intent on the drunk's part.

I wonder if they use the same standard for drunk drivin' and drunk break-in.

Thread title threw me. Tried to figure out why a drunk would want to break in to a wrong high school.

OK, I can see that. I've now changed the abbreviation for "house" from "hs" to "hse". Hold the applause. :-)

Of course, you could make the subject line: "CA: 6 ft, 250lb drunk breaks in wrong house, catches lead"

Then the entire phrase fits in the subject line.

Intent is not a necessary element in all offenses.
