I think we're bashing Russel a bit much.
I don't know that my reaction would be all that different. If someone is entering my house through a window, why are they there?
When a person breaks & enters, we don't know their intentions. They may be there to simply take my things. They may be looking to harm one of us. Many criminals enter to merely commit theft, find a female or child home alone, and decide a sexual assault might be more fun.

And how to I know that the individual crawling through my window doesn't also have a gun? I might say, "Stop or I'll shoot!" And the reply might be a .45 cal bullet in my chest.

On the flip side, I know my neighbors. Most of them are in their 70s on up, and this age group doesn't seem too heavily involved in drunkenness. If one of the old farmers nearby finds himself in my home, I'll assume its dementia and walk him home. However, one set of neighbors are in their 30s and are of the morally-challenged variety. (Morally-challenged in that if I saw them crawling through my window, I will have my hand on my gun wondering their intentions.) Another set of neighbors aren't the drunk or druggie sort, but do have teens. If I saw their teens crawling through my window, I'd holler at them to go home, then call their mother and tell her what they were up to.

Most of us should know our neighbors. I don't think most of us, including Russel, plan to shoot a drunk neighbor that we are fairly certain is harmless.
However, we don't know the intentions of that person crawling through the window. Unless the criminal is naked, we probably don't know if it has a weapon ready.
