HE SHOULD NOT BE ON TRIAL. IDC IF it was 8 minutes later. He did not have a motive to go break into someone’s home with handcuffs and a knife. Homeboy was sleeping and woke up to an intruder in his home. I don’t care if it was 8 minutes. Imagine the adrenaline going through your body after being woken up from a slumber to a man standing over you. You have to protect your home you have to protect your kids. You have to protect your spouse. This is disgusting that he’s on trial. Wake up Massachusetts.

He 100% had a right to shoot him again for a couple of different reasons First it's his house and the Castle Doctrine says that you don't have to retreat from your own home when there is a threat and second he was getting up and based on the fact that he just attacked Brian , it makes total sense why Brian would think he is about to get attacked again so that is why he got shot a second time.

[@jerrykirk2126]

I went through the same exact thing in 2009 that this young man went through. Unless you have actually experienced being awakened out of a sound sleep, being attacked and having to fight for your own life while trying to protect your family, and then having to kill someone, you have no idea what happens to you mentally. I am truly sympathetic to this man. In my case, we were awakened at 3am to the sound of two men trying to kick in our door. My wife immediately called 911, and even though we lived about 5 miles from town, there were no available officers. Everything was heard and recorded while my wife was on the phone. At 330, the shooting took place but it was over an hour and a half before the first officers arrived. The two men who were involved had very long criminal records and were just released from prison. The one who died had 25 violent felony charges on his record. The other man had 19. It was a clear case of self defense so I wasn't charged with the killing, but it took 6mos for the investigation to come to that decision. But, the District Attorneys office tried to charge me with discharge of a firearm in a residence in close proximity to minor children. The District Attorney was known for being soft on crime and was voted out before the trial. The new District Attorney threw the case out, but the stress that we went through from the time of the shooting, until it was thrown out, was almost unbearable.

First of all I agree with you. But I live in MA and it’s literally why I see no point in owning a gun in MA, you will be prosecuted. The prosecutor can say the first shot was good. I don’t believe him. If it’d only been the first shot Brain Camp would still be on trial. In MA you have to flee so hard in your own home. The fact that the prosecutor says “you have multiple vehicles and didn’t take your family and flee” is the problem with MA. There should be no duty to retreat in your own home. But here in MA you must retreat. The only legal crime I think Camp committed especially in MA is not properly storing his weapons. I’m almost certain in MA you are supposed to store your weapons and ammo in separate rooms of the house.

I really hope he’s getting trauma counseling. He was the victim and never cared for or treated as such by the police or hospital. It breaks my heart for him.

[@schroedersona]

I saw the not guilty verdict but why in the world is he even on trial??!! He protected himself and his family.

[@shelleyplemons1362]

I would never want to live in this state, I would absolutely leave. It is so frightening that you cannot legally protect yourself. Very scary.

[@joshdindlebeck2466]

This man was sleeping in his bed in his own house….I suppose the state thinks it’s okay for people to break into houses and choke sleeping people what a joke this is

[@Remmysage]

I went there the other day to visit and it was in the back of my mind the whole time. This has really got to be hurting their income from visitors. Not a good look to make your state look so, corrupt. Who wants to visit somewhere where they prosecute people just for the hell of it?

[@StarterVillian]

Don't forget their little cop boot camp thing where they were molesting kids and the one guy killed his pregnant girlfriend the day his wife gave birth. Then there's the Karen Reed trial 🤦

[@berlingolingoful]

Did you see, someone from MA said they were sure he'd have been tried even if it was only the first shot. They said the requirement to retreat within your own house is practically impossible to meet. Unbelievable.

[@LegitLC]

I’m pleading insanity (for myself) from home over the fact that he’s on trial in the first place.

[@ToddKoedyker-y5b]

Why is he still in this bull sh-t situation 😢???!!!!!!????

[@kindness12345]

I wouldn’t elect those prosecutors again

[@BlessedMomfmTexas]

This is soo Sad. Happened on Christmas 🎄 poor children too. PLEASE JURY FIND THIS MAN NOT GUILTY. THIS HAPPENED IN HIS OWN HOME...

[@Serenity-x5p]

This guy should not be on trial!! He defending his home and individuals safety, but he gets on trial. This is ridiculous

[@goose7574]

SHAME ON THIS PROSECUTOR! He never should've brought this to court!

[@mardellarowland5339]

CASTLE Law...Not Guilty! Defense's manner is sloooow!

[@simpsonrdlarry4385]

Not Guilty!! He didn’t ask some dumb bastard to break into his house in the middle of the night! Dude had it coming to him!

[@Lez_awake]

Right? You know what they say…. Play stupid games, get stupid prizes

[@janedixon8491]

No guilty and let him go! I’m keeping you in my thoughts Brian! Sending out all kinds of positive vibes.

[@Peepssqwik]

WHERE TF WAS BROOK?--- he got HER shoes. 1. I'd put those kids in the car to keep them safe. 2. Brook outside kids inside? Nooo... missing info on brook. Edit--- this kid is free. Look into brook.

[@lucybarrington4634]

Even if he’s broken up with her he still has two kids with her.

[@richieandchristinatafoya3636]

What the heck. Why is this man on trial wasting the state's money in our government taxes this man is not guilty and should not even be having to defend himself totally self-defense. Prayers for this young gentleman thank the Lord he was able to defend himself the way he did

[@seanmullen3917]

See its effortless when you are innocent and have done nothing wrong. That’s how testimony should be…

[@BlessedMomfmTexas]

Over 20 mins Fighting for his life!! Is uncepptable. And he has 2 lil girls. Praying 🙏 For not Gulity.

[@Melissa-m9j]

What a disgrace!! This young man should have NEVER been charged! I was comforted to hear many lawyers on KZbin think judge should not even allow case to go to jury and also say that Brian should sue the State!!

[@user-lx6qu9pw9v]

What an amazing witness, clear, concise and unruffled ! Especially for a young man, after such a traumatic experience. So clear he is honest and has nothing to hide. I have questions about law enforcement links to the “victim” (🙄)., my bet is there is some.

[@SarahBeckett100]

He was treated like a suspect instead of the victim. I believe the jury will be putting themselves in his shoes and thinking 'there but for the grace of God...' and he'll be found not guilty 🙏. Brian Camp deserved professional treatment from the emergency services who instead made a traumatic situation 10 times worse. After fighting off a maniac attacking him (in his own home with his little daughters upstairs) he gets sent by the 911 responder back into the crime scene that she knows has guns and a man who's been trying to kill him for the last 20 minutes?? He only shoots him the second time when he goes back in, just as the police are finally arriving. At 12:30am what was keeping them?? Then at the hospital - even suspects deserve to have pain relief. And then they charge him??? wtf?? I sincerely hope he gets significant financial compensation for their negligence. It won't help with the trauma - Christmas will never be the same for this family - but it'll help them get on with their lives.

[@BlessedMomfmTexas]

Well said!!

[@missmiss5051]

Shameful we are now in a society ... where criminals have all the rights. Victims and people in pain are punished.

[@michelletruelove7783]

If i were this guy id sue the state for wrongful arrest and prosecuting this case. Thank God the jury did the right thing

[@angelashepherd4429]

Why is this poor guy on trial? Why are we paying for this trial?

[@nanabananasings1667]

He was prosecuted because, after 911 insisted he go check on the injured intruder who was now on his feet, he then fired the second and fatal shot. This is a reminder to always ask for an attorney when being questioned, even when we are innocent as this man was. In the midst of the trauma and hours afterwards, we are in a state of shock and often cannot recall details correctly as the fear and adrenaline surge through us. Those missed details will be used by overzealous enforcement to paint an innocent victim as a liar and perpetrator.
