A 25-year-old Missouri man says he mistook his mother for an intruder before shooting her to death at their home’s back door.

Prosecutors have charged Jaylen Johnson with manslaughter and armed criminal action in connection with the shooting death on Thursday of his mother, Monica McNichols-Johnson.

McNichols-Johnson’s shooting death came less than a year after another shooting in Missouri saw Ralph Yarl, then 16, get shot on 13 April by 84-year-old Andrew Lester after ringing the wrong doorbell while picking up his siblings.

      There are other shithole countries other than the US.

      If you need guns just to be safe, you by definition live in a shithole.

            i am sure someone in a war torn country is saying “gee it sucks my family is getting killed, but at least im not in a shithole like the united states”

            calling the united states a shithole is an insult to actual countries that suck to live in, it just shows you probably dont know much about how bad it can get. there is a reason millions immigrate to the US

          You think lethal violence is an appropriate response to a burglary? If you responded like that over here you’d be going to prison for far, far longer than the burglar would.

          You don’t need a gun, you need a shrink.

              If you think your crappy shit is worth more than a persons life then you are truly sick in the head.

                I’m not the one judging the value of their life. They are. What’s the matter with you, could you see something bad happening to you? Is this a risk you’ve took?

                  So you deem yourself judge, jury and executioner?

                  You truly live in a lawless shithole if you think like that.

                    You’re not listening. Stay the fuck out of peoples houses, you deserve everything you get, and it ain’t the person lives there decided that, you did. “lawless shithole” sounds more like a place you can break n enter with near impunity.
