Man Killed When He Barges Into Wrong Home
Townhomes In Neighborhood All Looked Alike

POSTED: 9:16 a.m. EST February 3, 2003

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- A tragic mistake has cost a Florida man his life.

Authorities in Clearwater said a man was shot to death when he barged into a home he mistakenly thought was his. The man lived two doors down in a neighborhood where many of the town houses look alike.

A spokeswoman for the Pinellas County sheriff said Jeffrey McNeil apparently became agitated because he couldn't get into the home early Sunday morning.

The homeowner said he heard pounding and obscenities and shot McNeil when the man made a threatening move. No charges have been filed.

The dead man's father said it was "just an unfortunate accident."

ouch.

Damn...reminds me of my friend Jason...once on Halloween he was so drunk he entered the wrong house, helped himself to their food, and passed out on their couch while eating a bag of chips...well the morning comes along and he wakes up as he is getting hit with something...he wakes up and some guy is poking him with a broom...well jason is 6^4 about 280 lbs...and he had on a purple clown wig, and a hula skirt...and thats all...lol
he told me he just walked out of buddies house, didn't know where he was or anything...lol.. the whole time buddy was just losing it on him

Look at the numbers!!:glugglug

in the uk the guy who shot him would still be done for murder.

Just wondering do many people in the UK have guns in their homes etc?

Reason #1428 as to why Florida sucks.

Nope

Someone told me in Canada almost no one has a gun, legally

Right, we do not feel the need for them because ... not many people have them.

Also, Charlton Heston lives in the US....

Check out "Bowling for Columbine". Great movie. They said something about there being 10 million families in Canada, and 7 million of them are armed. Stats from Canadian gov't i think.

That movie scrared me.

Another thing that does not make sense...

WTF is that story doing on a San Diego news page?

Complete bullshit, they are trying to bring Canada down to the American level when it comes to guns and it is complete bullshit.

... reminds me of something that happened when I was 18 years old. I stole a car, which I believed was mine. at that time I was driving an old VW and with the key you could almost get into any VW there was. well, I had a couple of drinks (forgive me, I was young). when I left the nightclub and got into the car, it felt a bit strange cause I noticed a much better sound system than I had, but I didn´t give a flying fuck and drove home. next morning my dad woke me up and asked me about the car in our driveway, he said it looks like mine, but he wanted to know why I have gotten new numberplates ... took me about a week to find the owner of the car and he was very happy to get vehicle back ...

Wrong, it's just that people here don't use them often and store them resposible so they aren't close to as many accidents. That's why you never hear about guns up here. They're mostly for hunting, although I have a legal handgun that's just for fun.

ahahahaha, that's priceless. :glugglug

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I hope you stole the sound system though...

:winkwink:

I think you missed his point. Canada is heavily armed, and we have the similar gun regulations, but there are far less gun related incidents here.

handguns are almost IMPOSSIBLE to find and HIGHLY regulated. rifles and shotguns are everywhere.

Far less population, far less gang violence, far less drug crime.

Hooray for us.

I heard a similar story a few years ago. People get wasted or high and behavior can become eradic. If someone was yelling and kicked in my door in the middle of the night he would be shot too.

Don't blame the gun owner that's ridiculous.

There is a lot that goes on here...you don't get away with anything here though...if you want to be bumped up to the very top of the RCMP's hit list...then allow your members to pull some drive by's you will all be in jail by the end of the week. most of the violence here is directed inwards to people who know better.
Well unless you head over to Brampton, where they seem to shoot each other over traffic lights...so we are certainly more innocent...but it is because of the serious lack of humour the cops have when it comes to violent criminals.:2 cents:

Well I don't know about 7 out of 10 homes being armed.. I think that is a little off.. But 7 out of 10 homes in non-urban areas..
In the farmlands sure everyone has a rifle.. I know I used to go Gopher hunting on the family farm in the summer times, and we had 5-6 rifles out for the 3 of us incase any of them jammed.

There is a LOT of farmland in Canada, it is a massive huge country and a lot of it is farms.. But as far as the cities go, not a
chance in hell man.

I have lived in cities my whole life here and I have NEVER EVER met anyone that had a handgun, hell I didn't even know anyone that had a rifle in their home in the cities, it is a very rare thing
