Introduces the Michigan homeowner charged with manslaughter after shooting at burglars in a detached garage and bound over for trial.

A Michigan homeowner’s use of deadly force against burglars sparks a heated debate over self-defense and property protection menacing legal limits.

Summary

Asmongold presents a controversial Michigan case where a man shot at burglars in his detached garage after six intruders were reported. The court reminded the defendant that the law does not permit deadly force solely to protect property, complicating his self-defense claim. The discussion weaves in security footage that allegedly shows the man shooting as the intruders fled, challenging the narrative of immediate danger. The stream references Don Clapton and Judge Kelly, noting prior break-ins and the homeowner’s efforts to strengthen security after being warned. Meanwhile, a separate Florida case is mentioned, highlighting ongoing national tensions around gun rights and home defense. Asmongold contrasts public sentiment—often leaning toward harsher penalties for burglars—with judicial standards that require lawful use of force. The host rants about perceived systemic protections for criminals, calling for political and legal changes while also acknowledging that the law governs how self-defense is interpreted. Viewers are left with a charged discussion about constitutional rights, moral judgments, and what constitutes reasonable force in a home invasion context.

Full Transcript
Michigan man charged with manslaughter, fatally shooting one of the teens he caught breaking in his garage, has been bound over his trial. Wait, what? What's this? Let me see what this is off. Yeah, it's off camera. Okay, it doesn't matter. Obviously, this is a very difficult case because uh you you do have uh some empath empathy and sympathy for the defendant understanding that his property had been uh broken into uh the testimony looks like at least twice prior to the uh to this incident. uh understanding and there could have certainly been some real fear on that evening. But the court also notes that the law does not allow you to use deadly force uh to protect your property. In this particular case, it was a detach. Why not? Imagine not being able to defend your own home. You literally have How many of them are there? There's one that's still waiting. Five. Literally, you have five. Five men. No, wait. Wait. Six. Yeah. Six men that are that break into your house. Oh my god. Evening. But the court also notes that the law does not allow you to use deadly force uh to protect your property. In this particular case, it was a detached garage. Um, the defendant in this case put himself in the situation. Uh, the he put himself in the situation. This guy has his home invaded by six grown men and he's Oh my god. Oh. Oh my god. This is insane. It's his own [ __ ] This is self-defense uh argument is becomes more difficult when the video shows and the evidence shows that he shot into the garage blindly twice. If it was blindly then how are they dead? or uh any of the defend any of the uh uh people the burglars or the people. This right here is the biggest threat to America. It is this is the biggest and most profound and extreme and insiduous threat to America. This is it right here. inside uh exited the video. The evidence that being the video clearly shows that he was shooting at the uh people who were inside the Yeah. in the garage, the people who were attempting to burglar the garage. He was shooting at them as they were running away. Yeah. It's too bad he didn't kill more of them. Uh so that by in and of itself uh is certainly probable cause to show that he did intend uh great bodily harm. Good. Good. Yeah. Good. That's the point. What happened to America? I don't know, guys. I don't know what the hell is going on. Meanwhile, in Florida, I think that if somebody breaks into your house, you should be able to kill them. Full stop. Period. No exceptions. That's it. It's that simple. So, uh, presidential pardon. Yeah. Will you give this guy a presidential pardon? Something like that. Like, you got to get him out of this situation, uh, in the house, in the driveway. Well, here's the thing, right? Is like if they're running away, why would you not shoot them so they couldn't come back? Because you don't know at that point why they're in your house. Like this person could want to cause you bodily harm because they don't like you for some reason. They might want to hurt you. They might try to get revenge on you later on. So the only proper moral decision is to shoot them. This is the only good decision to make is to shoot them. That's what you should do every single time. Stupid Karens. Why do judges protect criminals? Because we allow them to. The judges protect the criminals because we protect the judges. And that's the mistake. Try shouting out JD on Twitter about it. See if you can talk to the dawn. I don't think that's going to happen realistically, right? Seven people in your house is not grounds enough to feel like your life is in danger. The hard governmentment was the garage was detached from the home so they were not in the house. Hence him putting himself in that situation. Stupid argument though. Well, it's his property. Like in my opinion, if people are breaking into your property, you should be able to kill them straight up. Just that's it. And why do I think that? Because I don't want to live in a world where people can break into your property. That's the reason why. Like I I see there is no moral reason that that isn't the correct decision to make. It's a It's a huge deterrent. Yeah. Exactly. No questions asked. Trespassor shall be shot. Well, trespassor shall be shot. survivor shall be shot again. I think that was like a it was like some thing that like somebody gave my dad and like he put it on like his window or something like that because he he loved that. And another video is out about this subject. Yeah. Well, what is about this like I don't know if I can find another uh if I can find this here. Don Clapton, is that it? Yeah, let me look and find it. Ignored him. So it's in his property had been broken into twice before this. Twice before this. This is insane. Twice and the and the police ignored him and told him to get better security. He did. I mean like with the he took their advice and it worked. Do you see him running away? Yeah, he was right. Look at that. This is crazy. Now, Judge Kelly says Dacon Leapton 24 put himself in a situation despite prior breakins. She said his self-defense argument becomes more difficult after reviewing security video. Oh my god. been broken into at least twice before and has been told that the second breakin to beef up his security. And he did. He beefed up his security and they still said it was bad. And uh delete the video before 911. No, you can't. You shouldn't do that because it gets stored on an internal server anyway. It doesn't matter. I bet the judge lives in a gated community with security. Absolutely. I think that again people like this like you should just immediately impeach just judge. You should. And I feel like this is the this is the this is the time that taring and feathering people is required. This is when you should do it. Exactly. The time the judge would change her tune if it was her house. Yeah. Exactly. Or somebody wasn't protecting her. I think that's exactly what happened. I find that to be extremely [ __ ] annoying. I don't know if there's any more about this too, but uh let me go and and pull the rest of it up. Yeah. New at five, a White Lake homeowner has been charged with manslaughter in a shooting back in July that raised some questions. The prosecutor says Dayton Napton shot a 17-year-old who was trying to steal items from his garage. He's 17 years old and he's already stealing. Jesus. Let's get out to Erica. She's live tonight with the latest details in this case. Erica, the prosecutor says Napton crossed a line here. Yeah. And there's a lot of different sides we're hearing. We're hearing from the prosecutor's office, that man's defense attorney, and the family of that teen who was shot and killed, and they're upset. They're upset that their kid got killed. Well, maybe you shouldn't have raised a hood rat. Maybe you shouldn't have raised a kid that's going to break into people's houses and uh steal their [ __ ] That's what I think. It doesn't make sense and it hurts a lot. 4 months after 17-year-old Savon Wilson of Pontiac shot and killed in White Lake Township. RIP Bozo, rest in piss. Should have shot your friends, too. Family says the charges have them confused. I think the way they went about it, it could have been done better. 24y old Dayton Napton charged with manslaughter, assault with intent to do great bodily harm, and two counts of felony firearm for the death of Wilson and shooting another teen in the leg. Wilson's family says they want Napton charged with murder. It doesn't make sense that it wasn't done out of malice and for them to charge. Godamn right it's done out of malice. Kill him, put him in the ground. That kid was an animal. Thank God that dude shot him and put him down before he hurt somebody else. Damn. What are we doing talking about this? Like he's a victim. He's dead. Cuz he's a thief. [ __ ] him. It doesn't make sense. Yeah, cuz you're stupid. Maybe being stupid is hereditary. With manslaughter when everything in the report is suggesting that it was malicious intent. Back in July, prosecutors say Wilson along with six others broke into Napton's detached garage. Napton coming out with a 9 mm. Prosecutors say firing two shots through a windowless locked garage door. Then as the group ran away, prosecutors say Napton shot at them five more times. You can see they say it's a detached garage. This is literally right next to his house. It's not like he ran, you know, it's like 50 yards away from him and he had to run over and defend this. This is It's right next to his house. is 2 ft away from his house. Ran back inside, reloaded his gun, and came back outside. The vine was running away and got shot. Oh, should have been you, too. Oh, wait. No, father of the victim. I thought it was this gun. I never heard anything about him getting shot in the garage. But prosecutors say Wilson hit and killed from a bullet fired through the locked door. We had a really close connection. So, it hurts a lot. I would have never expected this to happen to him. He had so many dreams and aspirations. Well, it's time to wake up. Back on your live, the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office says the rights to own firearms and protect one's family and home are fundamental. Those important rights also come with profound responsibility. We believe the evidence demonstrates this defendant crossed the line by firing outside his home at fleeing persons. Outside his home at fleeing persons. Oh my god. How are we tolerating this even a little bit? How we put up with this even a slight bit? That's crazy. They actually want they they want you to be uh a victim inside of your own home and let these people go in and rob you. They want them to rob you and steal your [ __ ] and then if you defend yourself now somehow you're a bad guy. This is so [ __ ] ridiculous. It is. It's absolutely ridiculous. Wow. I just got off the phone with Napton's defense attorney. He says Napton was startled and this case is one of quote stone self-defense and he believes Napton should have never been charged. We have many more details. Not only should he have not been charged, they should have found the other five people and then put them all in jail. And maybe the ones that were being violent, they should have, you know, maybe hung them or something like that, executed them. Like the fact that we have so much tolerance and uh you know allowance for these criminals is just crazy to me. It is. It's really crazy. Like I remember whenever Kyle Writtenhouse went and he killed those two guys like that was a hero. That's an American hero right there. And we got to have a lot more like that. We have to normalize that. like the amount of times that like you have these criminals that are going out there and they're uh you know like causing problems and and and and doing [ __ ] that they shouldn't be doing. Like we got to put we got to put a stop to this. We do. We got to put a stop to this. This treasonous aiding enemies. I totally agree. Zero tolerance for breaking into a home. Exactly. This why we see rise in positive sentiment for vigilante justice. This isn't v This isn't vigilante justice. Self-defense is just simply justice. That's why there's a whole uh you know segment for it inside of the law. So many humans could be saved by harsher justice. I know. I really hate this [ __ ] I This actually I'm going to be real. This actually does make me mad. It does. It really does bother me. And it it frustrates me to no end that. And and the reason why it really frustrates me more than anything else is because I know that the judge will not receive the consequences that I think that she deserves for this. Like that the problem is not even really the situation itself. It's that the system that produced the situation will be allowed to continue. And I find it to be so uh so upsetting. I do disagree. Kyle Kyle Written House is a [ __ ] Well, what do you mean he's a [ __ ] Like, I don't know. Like, I mean, he killed two retards that were going out there being violent. Yeah, I don't get that at all. I I I think that's absolutely like I mean, what else you want me to say? Like, I mean, that's great that he did that. I mean, wasn't one of them like a a weird pedto or something like that? Thank god he's dead. The world's a better place. It's the way it is. May have conclusive uh about SKG about summertime. Really? Oh, wow. Let me look at that. I got to find it. You're not wrong about uh it should be allowed the jud uh but the judge followed the law. For her to have done anything different, the law has to change. No. Well, the judge always has like every judge has the ability to interpret the law in a different way. They do. They can interpret the law in a in a million different ways. And if you choose to interpret the law in the way that means that the person who's defending their home is now the bad actor, well, you have a big
