As well as keep an eye out to see if they try to come to my house.

Did you not read this part?
"and when the two men came onto his yard and threatened him, Horn defended himself"

 

[bullets]

So what? What is better: He kills an innocent, or he fills his blood lust on people who are breaking the law and are illegal to the country?

i don't think robbery constitutes murder unlees i'm wrong and they did kill someone.

 

[chaseter]

For the last frakkin' time. He didn't leave his house, he shot them when they crossed over onto his yard. Jesus, are you dense?

I quoted you so maybe he will see it someday

Yes, he did. Here's the transscript.

11/15/07 - KTRK/PASADENA, TX) (KTRK) -- A dramatic 911 call from the Pasadena man who allegedly shot and killed two men accused of burglarizing his neighbor has been released. The dispatcher tried to talk him out of it.
At about 2pm Wednesday, Joe Horn called 911 from inside his Pasadena home. He says he saw two men break into his neighbor's house. Horn tells police that he is armed with a shotgun. "Hurry up, man. Catch these guys, will ya? I ain't gonna let them go, I'm gonna be honest with ya," said Horn on the 911 call. "I'm not gonna let them go. I'm not gonna let them get away with this (expletive)."
Horn and the dispatcher spent more than seven minutes on the phone, much of that with the dispatcher trying to convince Horn not to go outside.
"I'm gonna shoot, I'm gonna shoot," said Horn.
"Stay inside the house and don't go out there, OK?" responded the dispatcher. "It's not worth shooting someone over this."
"I don't want to, but if I go out there to see what the hell is going on, what choice do I have?" said Horn.
"I don't want you to go out there. I asked if you could see anything out there," said the dispatcher.
Horn tells the dispatcher that he understands his rights and even makes reference to the September 1 expansion that gives homeowners greater protection from prosecution should they choose to confront someone breaking into their home.
Before he can be convinced otherwise, Horn tells police he sees the burglars coming out of his house.
"He's coming out of the window right now," said Horn to the 911 dispatcher. "I gotta go, buddy. I'm sorry, but he's coming out the window."
"Don't, don't , don't go out the door. Mr. Horn? Mr. Horn?" said the dispatcher.
"(Expletive), they just stole something," said Horn to the dispatcher. "I'm sorry. I ain't gonna let them get away with this. They got a bag of something. I'm doing it."
The dispatcher can't stop Horn, who takes the phone with him as he goes outside.
"Move, you're dead," Horn, who took the phone outside with him, could be heard saying to the suspects.
Then three gunshots could be heard.
Horn admits later on the 911 call that he did, in fact, fire those shots. The names of the two men shot have not yet been released pending identification and notification of their next of kin. Horn has not been arrested or charged with any crime. A police investigation is still underway. This case likely will end up in the hands of a Harris County grand jury.

You wanna wipe that egg off your face now?

So, you've resorted to name-calling? Real classy.

 

[Gilpesh]

So, you've resorted to name-calling? Real classy.

Only after you made an invalid claim about everyone that disagrees with you.

So it would seem that a few of you would like to adopt this kill the criminals when you see the crime being committed, and just do away with the whole justice system. Just curious though, since when, even in Texas, did burglary warrant the death penalty??

 

[Spidey-Bat]

When are you going to realize that he did not break any law in shooting the two criminals (Note: Criminals, not innocent victims as you make them out to be).

 

[Trainwreck2100]

Is it true they crossed into his yard?

 

[Hotwire]

Only after you made an invalid claim about everyone that disagrees with you.

I never claimed everyone disagreed with me, only that a few seemed to feel that way. I also didn't point any fingers at anyone in particular.

 

[bullets]

They threatened him on his property.

I don't think he shot them on his property though . It's comlicated becuase it's not certain they were actually going to crossover and he seems like the type that would egg them on .

Ok I get it they were on his property.

Here is what he could have done:

a)call the cops and let them probably get away
b)call the cops and confront them without arms
c)call the cops and confront them with arms
d)stay inside and say **** it...I hate my neighbor

He called the cops, saw them leaving, confronted them as they passed into his property, told them to stop and they either ran off or ran at him, and he fired his weapon.

The article in the first post says they did. Since none of us were there, we aren't in a position to argue otherwise.

Go read the 911 trasscript I just posted. He told the 911 operator that he saw the burglars exiting his neighbor's house with bags of stuff, and at that point he was going outside to shoot them. Now, I don't feel the perps were innocent victims, but I do feel that the man was in the wrong.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

And the law allows him to shoot them.

 

[Gilpesh]

I never claimed everyone disagreed with me, only that a few seemed to feel that way. I also didn't point any fingers at anyone in particular.

Yeah. Back peddle.

 

[chaseter]

edit...

It was lawful...THE END

 

[Nathan Petrelli]

Ok. Two illegal immigrants break into someones house, they still his stuff. This guy shoots them. Considering they are both illegals, they have probably done much worse stuff in the past.

WHO. CARES.

[Hotwire]

Ugh, why have I wasted my time on you guys. I tried to make a point, but none of you seem to ba able to grasp it. Wither that or you're unwilling to try and understand it. I'm not wasting anymore time on this.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

You can't grasp the idea that what he did was legal. Now, was it morally right? Probably not. But neither is breaking into someone's house and stealing.

 

[bullets]

At the end of the day , I really dont care about the robbers. I do feel that this guy was itching to shoot someone though and probably got his jollies.

 

[Darthphere]

Yes, he did. Here's the transscript.

That bolded part proves nothing, what is factually true is they found the two dead bodies on HIS yard. The part about taking the phone with him is speculation. Again, show me how to hold a phone while shooting a 12 gauge.
