Turning on a light will tell you an intruders intentions?
Maybe not but it might tell you that it's your step daughter and not a threat.

Is this sarcasm?This post really adds to your credibility!
So what I take from several posts is:
- If your step-kid behaves poorly by staying out all night, the proper punishment is the death penalty.
- If you take the time to identify your target, your wife and daughters will be raped.
- If you can justify a shot, take it regardless of the absence of actual threat.

He's not saying that those are his own conclusions but what he seems to feel others in this thread have to say.
Relax and take a step back - at no point did he say you said exactly that. He did say that is how he understood what was said. If he misunderstood - don't get your panties in a bunch - correct him/set him straight.Maybe he should go by what they actually said instead of by his "feelings" on what he thinks they said. I personally don't like words being put in my mouth, particularly when they just happen to be beautiful straw men.

Why on earth would my step daughter be crawling thru the basement window?

There's two ways to handle being misunderstood:
1. Get upset/pissed/angry/defensive.
2. Simply clarify/elaborate and help the other party to understand if they're willing.
You said it - others will have to interpret it. We're not all the same - we don't see the world the same and we do not have the same experiences - others will certainly have different perspectives and will likely interpret what was said differently especially if the message is vague/ambiguous/unclear.
I myself did understand a few posts as saying that some stepkids deserve to be shot just for the sake that they're stepkids. Now I also am fairly certain that isn't exactly what was meant but it is what was in the post without 'reading between the lines' [i.e. speculating as to what was actually intended.]
Being an attorney means he's not human and/or imperfect like everybody else?I hold attorneys to a higher standard of reading comprehension than that. You cannot read what I wrote about home invasion rape to be anything like his "feelings" on what I meant.
Or you can quit being so touchy and emotional and realize that not everybody sees the world the same way you do. If you go through life taking everything personally you're going to have a pretty miserable life.If he has a problem with what I wrote, he can call me on the words I actually wrote, not what he "feels" I meant.
Trying to get away from you.
How do you get away from someone by crawling into their house through their basement window?
Luckily for you she died and couldn't say she was leaving, not entering.

Misinterpret much? People have simply stated that they can understand why it happened... no reason to take it completely out of context.
- If you take the time to identify your target, your wife and daughters will be raped.
This is actually quite possible depending on the situation. If you take 1 second too long to identify your target and see if they mean you harm you and your family can all be killed.
- If you can justify a shot, take it regardless of the absence of actual threat.
Generally, if someone is breaking into your home, it's taken as a threat. I don't know how many times your home has been broken into while you were there (I'm guessing 0 based on your statements) but if someone is crawling in through your window do you really think it's a friend just coming in to say hello? Do you always have your family and friends come in through the window? I know at my house people knock on the door but I guess some people do it differently.
If you simply take out the fact that the intruder was his step daughter, did the guy do anything wrong?
Unless you live there then it's called nothing.Somebody coming through a basement window is more than trespassing, it is called breaking and entering.
