I dont get why Taylor had to go a into a situation at his house with a machete. He was a dad. Dad's have people to take care of.

Take my stuff. I'm hiding. Im getting out. All indications say these kids did not know anyone was home.

Guns beat machete's.

I guess in a fight or flight situation people react diff. We dont know all the circumstances. but i personally would not go after a noise with a machete with my wife and child in the house. Too many people pack guns in this State.
