He also wouldn't be there if his friend wasn't getting married and he didn't go to a bachelor party, along with a million other vendors and people he interacted with prior to getting irresponsibly inebriated and harassing a stranger. Regardless of Airbnb's legality or whatnot, the blame in this specific story lies simply on the person who chose to get too drunk.

Agreed. We had a similar situation in my town a few years back. The homeowner shot and killed a drunken intruder in the middle of the night. It turned out to be a drunk college student who didn’t know where they were. The homeowner was charged, but later acquitted by a jury.

I was glad to hear the jury agreed that the action was appropriate.

Drinking to excess has consequences, including death. Either from liver failure or lead poisionong.

So does rocking around without your recorder running...being blackout drunk is stupid, so you'd better be good at being stupid...
