Why would you shoot them?

I hate Socratic arguments, so I'll skip to what I see as a major flaw in your reaction: you're willing to shoot and kill somebody simply because you don't recognize them.

why invade my home? why steal my things? why incite fear in the hearts of two PoC's?

I refuse to let anyone break into my home and rummage through my family's things as if they are their own. We moved away from burlington to expressly avoid these incursions. There is no level of sympathy for those who break through locked doors and shuttered windows for their own gain, the only exception being that of a family member or someone mentally disabled.

I don't shoot first, but I am going to ask questions with a weapon drawn.
