When you drink so much that you break down the door to get into the wrong house – the stoopid is strong in that one.
No sympathy here for the dead perp. Geting drunk enough to lose control is playing with fire.

Jake was my son-in-law. He was a wonderful father to my grandson, but was dealing with depression through alcohol, as sadly many do in life. He was living next door to Mr. Munoz at the time and came home drunk and tried opening his door by mistake. While I can’t speak for what was going through his mind, I can only assume he was frustrated no one was letting him in, and began to kick the door. Could the situation have been handled differently? Of course. He may well still be alive this morning. But I want Mr. Munoz and family to know that we hold no ill feelings toward him or his family, as we may have acted the exact same way. It was dark, late at night, and he had no way of knowing it was a neighbor. I only ask that you cease the harsh and judgmental comments, and instead direct that energy towards prayer to everyone involved. God bless.
You have my sympathy for having lost your son-in-law – I can’t imagine the grief, especially given the circumstances. And your dignity and understanding of Mr. Munoz’s situation is not only admirable, it’s remarkable. I’m not one given to prayer, but you and your family have my best wishes for comfort, as does Mr. Munoz, who took responsibility for protecting his family.
Prayers for you and your family, Mr Brackney. And thank you for your common sense in the midst of what is a terrible tragedy for your family.
You and yours have my sympathy. But your claim of “Tried opening his door by mistake” rings shallow. He BROKE THE DOOR DOWN, period! Just as you, I’d have also ventilated him. People who drink excessively and are that violent should anticipate an early departure from this world.
Sympathy, yes…but excuses for behavior, NO! Your lack of ill will does speak well for you and is appreciated and respected none the less.
