All those people who are anti gun and claim gun is not needed to protect one's home has an ally in Maryland. Assistant State’s Attorney Glen Neubauer has decided to charge Matthew Pinkerton, 34 a tech Sargent in the air force with a number of charges concerning the shooting death of Kendall Green.

Evidently, when Kendall Green kicked in Pinkerton's door after be told to leave, then charging Pinkerton who fired and hit Green once. Kendall continued to advance on Pinkerton who fired a second shoot that proved fatal.

Attorney: Glen Burnie shooting was self-defense

A Glen Burnie man acted in self-defense when he shot and killed another man he suspected of having an affair with his wife, his attorney said Monday.

At a bail hearing for Matthew Pinkerton, 34, attorney Peter O’Neill said the victim, Kendall Green, broke into Pinkerton’s home on Arbor Drive just before 2 a.m. Sunday after being told repeatedly to leave.

Green, also of Glen Burnie, acted aggressively and motioned toward his waistband as if he had a weapon, O’Neill said.

Pinkerton shot Green once in the chest from 10 to 15 feet away, but Green continued to advance toward him, his wife Jessica and two friends who were at the house, O’Neill said. That’s when Pinkerton shot him again. He died at the scene.

Now recently there have been many stories of shootings, covered by the media, raising more cries for "gun control" and yet this story was overlooked.

I am sure that the gun control and gun ban supporters will be sure to attack Pinkerton as acting rashly in his attempt to stop the intruder, they might even suggest as the assistant state prosecutor did that instead of grabbing a gun and shooting a man charging him from 15 feet away, he should have called 911.

I am equally sure that someone is going to claim that the deceased's intentions were unknown at the time of the incident.

At this point, the assistant state prosecutor should be removed from office and stripped of his law license for his desire to pursue this case.

Love the new pic bud.....awesome.

Is this new info?

he 19-year-old from Detroit died of a shotgun blast to the head outside the home in the 16800 block of Outer Drive near Warren Avenue. Dearborn Heights police said they have “identified the person who fired the shot and killed the woman.”

Her cellphone dead, her family said, she made her way to the house for help after the early morning accident.

“She probably wanted to ask him to make a call for her or if she could use the phone,” said McBride’s maternal aunt, Bernita Spinks.

Police have refused to release details of their investigation. The police chief did not return calls.

The family is filled with questions, said Spinks, a family spokeswoman. At a vigil late Wednesday, she asked: “Why did he have to shoot her?”

Spinks said the family met with police and Prosecutor’s Office about the shooting. She said police told the family the shooter is a man in his 50s.A preliminary autopsy indicated McBride was shot in the head, according to the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office. No other information on the autopsy was released.

Pinkerton, the shooter, was acquitted:

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/bs-md-ar-pinkerton-verdict-20140620,0,6189247.story

From what I could read, only Mathew Pinkerton was alive to tell us what happened, and this is the disturbing trend I see in self defense cases. The deceased never gets a say in the facts or events.

I also did not read any information that Green, the murder victim, was armed and dangerous. It seems that an unarmed homeowner would have simply had a fist fight or loud argument or simply a scene.

I'm so glad that I have no inclination to arm myself with a glock to deal with inter personal situations.

As a footnote: the deceased was a Black Man, which may have actually been the real issue in the case.
