An eviction-turned-armed confrontation led to the death of a landlady in the Providence neighborhood of Olneyville on Monday, police say.

Landlord thought they could pull a kickdoor and discovered there were consequences. Hope Watson gets off with the most lenient punishment but I doubt RI will let that happen.

    What's the problem? I thought Americans loved castle doctrine.

        Rhode Island is so liberal that they've still not legalized recreational weed. Connecticut legalized it first, and Connecticut is stuffed to the gills with gated communities of old money assholes!

          Connecticut is just strip malls, gated communities, insurance office parks and bedroom villages for other states. It's worse than a bad place, it's a non-place.

            …I was going to mention Mystic, but Mystic Village is just a significantly nicer strip mall.
