I'd probably do the same thing

Daily Mail - Mark Woods, who would have been 33 today, was coming back from a night of early birthday celebrations when, instead of going to his own house, he tried to unlock the front door of Edwin Pitkin's home. Hearing the noise, 58-year-old Mr Pitkin allegedly grabbed a knife and a fight broke out in which Mr Woods was fatally stabbed. He said it was the second time Mr Woods had tried to get into the wrong house after a night out. The housemate said: "Mark spent all Friday drinking. He had bottles of cider lined up in his room and when I spoke to him in the afternoon he had clearly had too much to drink. The friend said Mr Woods had been the victim of a tragic misunderstanding, adding: "He is more likely to hug you than anything else and I don't understand how he could be mistaken for a burglar."

Yeah, funny thing about us folks who didn't come down in last weeks rain, we're suspicious of people fiddling with our door in the middle of the night and when you realize they're not listening when you tell them to piss off, you get really frightened when they then try to 'hug' you. It's a pity this fellow was killed but he is responsible for his own actions, perhaps he shouldn't have drunk himself into such a state. However it's all well and good to sing kumbaya after the event but if it were some scumbag wanting to help himself to your wife and you just let him in; he's not going to stop upon realizing that you'd mistaken him for a drunk and say, oh sorry mate, you got me all wrong, I really am here to cut your throat and rape your woman, so let's start this over again alright!
