She'd have been smarter to shoot him in the chest or head. Ordinary citizens are likely to be charged for ineffective deadly force. If it's your life at stake, you can't afford to be half-hearted or half-witted. I hope there is enough public outrage against the intruder to intimidate the police and keep them afraid to file charges against her.
Women have many options in our society so there is no need for sicko mutilation thoughts. Lawyers are more fearsome than guns, actually.
Smarter? Not sure if your post was a tongue in cheek response. If not, then I think you either play too many video games or watch too many Seagal movies....maybe it's a combination of both. Regardless, to think that all it takes to shoot someone in the head or in the torso is smarts, well, I think your viewpoint is completely misinformed. That that poor lady had the presence of mind to not only fight off an attacker so late at night but that she also had her wits about her and was able to let incapaciate her attacker says a lot about her. Besides, her state has a strong castle doctrine as well as a strong stand your ground law. Nothing will be filed against her.
OK. I know nothing about Washington State. . . . . the first time I ever went there was a month ago, and we drove across the Columbiia at Portland at six pm, and across the Columbia near Richland at the eleven the next morning. My brother does live there, and after doing our business in Seattle we drove to Richland and stayed overnight with my brother.
A few possibilities might be investigated. . . . was he someone that a family member had some business with, was he lost or out of gas or desperately seeking help for any reason. If someone knocks on your door at night you ask why before you throw the door open to shoot. One question I have is why no one else in the house was there to help her, didn't she call out, didn't her husband come running.
5000 soon
I've been occupied elsewhere for a while, and can you believe it, I'm gonna be doing Christmas in California?
I oughta bring my quasi-intellectual musings about theology back in here, and leave the chess game thread open for OB to make his next move. In all fairness, after all the time I've spent analyzing that game, if OB doesn't spend at least a day studying out his next move he's handicapping himself. . . .

Home For Christmas
A little over a week ago, my wife was gonna put the new house she bought out to rent to put herself ahead by about 18 grand a year for a year or two. But when I was showing it to a nice lady who looked Hispanic but whose kids looked Tongan and definitely would be hard to push back an inch, I had visions of those kids literally falling through the walls about every third day. Based on what some of my nephews of the same basic dimensions do. . . .
So I told my wife to just move in to her house already, so once in her life at least she'd have a house that was in good shape. . . .
So she's busy getting ready to move. . .. she's pulled out the carpets and painted the walls (and ceilings). . . . because the place actually has hardwood floors in nice shape.
But all the same, I'm scheduled to drive Santa's sleigh to California for Christmas.
I told her we should have two Chrstmases this year.

I spent about a half-hour looking at what I would do for each of your two options, so I was ready for this move.
I'm spending a lot more time than that each time I come in here. . . . tracking down possibilities ten to twenty moves ahead. . . .
Sometimes the way to break a gridlock open is to do something fundamentally insane. I haven't had a move to spare for quite a while, and I'm behind on pawns. You have to be able to survive the upset table long enough to launch an effective recovery.
I haven't found a certain forced sequence that will even the manpower score or turn the tables on pawn pressure. You have managed to not "go that way" so far.
