Joe Horn, a man from Texas, shot and killed 2 burglars who were robbing a neighbors house and just a few days ago was cleared of all charges. I know I'd be glad to have him as a neighbor.

Shooting people in the back is heroic.
about as heroic as coming in to a country illegally and then deciding to break into someone's house and steal their belongings.

If they are burglars sure it is.
I hate a ing thief, and if he threatens me or my family, him hes getting lead.
Plus it's fun. Don't forget that.
Especially the dumbasses that buy those orange target shirts at walmart.
Define threatening. Does it include running away from the person with the gun?
Your hatred of those shirts must stem from the time you wore one and a helicopter landed on you.
Don't be a ing pussy. At least shoot em in the face to get a reaction first. Got damn.
yeah, it is safer to let them walk away and come back another day to rob the rest of his neighbors.
As someone who has been robbedto old guy
Are you ing kidding me? He shot two people who weren't even robbing HIS house?? in the back?? and he claims that he feared for his life???
Why does it not surprise me that there are idiots in here that think this is acceptable! Unbelievable!
don't get me wrong, I detest burglars as much as anyone, but I have more respect for the sanc y of life!! You don't ing kill someone for robbing a ing house, unless its your house and you fear for your life! This old er was certainly not fearing for his! He even quoted the law in his 911 ing call!
Yeah... it was self defense alright... pfff!In his 911 call, Horn cited a newly enacted Texas law, the "castle doctrine," which authorizes the use of deadly force during a home invasion.
You don't even realize how ed up that line of thinking is, don't you? Vigilante justice has been romanticized to a point that people don't understand what it means anymore. The dude killed two people because they robbed a house! Forget the "was in fear for his life" bull , which was clearly not the case here, what court in the US would condemn someone to death for stealing?? none! Guess what, there's a reason for that!
absolutely imminentthe interesting test case will be when someone shoots their own neighbor after they lose their key and are climbing into the window of their own house
Self defense wasn't the law that the defense used.
That's already happened (but before the new law) when some college kid (pretty sure it was locally) was drunk and went into a neighbor's home and was shot and killed.
So its ok to rob houses?
Great rationalizing.

Makes criminals think twice in texas.
We won't kiss their ass like you guys would wherever you live.
Someone climbing into a house that shouldn't be seems pretty threatening to me.
But you go ahead and open the front door for em next time.
Horn's defense hinged on his assertion that he fired out of fear for his life, making the shooting justifiable under Texas law.
yeah, that's what I'm saying T Park... that its alright to rob houses.
Not big on logical conclusions are you?
Im not big on people breaking into things that aren't theres.yeah, that's what I'm saying T Park... that its alright to rob houses.

Don't want to get shot? Don't rob a house.
Seems pretty ing logical to me.
well, if they weren't in the country illegally there would have never been a crime committed and they would have never been shot. anything after them into the country illegally is moot.
my dad was pulled over with an open beer can a few years ago. the reason he was stopped was because the cop said he couldn't see his license plate. it was a new car, so it didn't have a license plate, therefore he should've never been stopped in the first place. case dismissed.
Don't break into people's houses and then I might feel sorry for you if you get shot.
