The shooting didn't occur because he was in the room, but because he "reached for something". The father felt a threat and started shooting, just like blade runner, Zimmerman and Dunn did.
No. The shooting occurred because he didn't know the kid was there, and then the kid did something he thought was threatening. It is not the same as the Oscar Pistorius case because this guy did not know that the young man was "supposed" to be there (in the sense that he was invited and the daughter did in fact know him).
I don't necessarily disagree with you in regards to common sense and what not, but there is enough of a difference here that you probably shouldn't use it as an example.
And, well, Zimmerman wasn't charged with anything, so that doesn't exactly help your case, either.

I say again, if that were his wife in the bed with another man (during his normal working hours) or his son in the bed with a girl, people wouldn't view it the same way.
I don't necessarily agree with this.
