Intruders shot after Texas couple wrests shotgun

You've lost me. Message? Why are you merely reprinting something already pointed out?

Sorry, man, but again we find ourselves in the Seventh Circle of Illogical Hell. As we've been here several times, I'll have to let you have the last word.

 

That was a home invasionthey had guns they were not the tipicle burglars they where armed and ready for danger they deserve what happened I would hope the one survior suffers for the rest of his life.

 

I think to many of us, who support a homeowners right to self defense, this case provided an opportunity to say that clearly. Some people in the other thread tried to paint those of us that objected to that particular shooting as unsympathetic or unwilling to condone the use of force in protection of one's home.

Frankly, I don't even think the neighborhood thing is an issue. I would not have a problem if a neighbor had happened on the scene and shot the armed intruders in this case.

The distinction in my mind between this case and the other case was that this case involved armed men actually attacking human beings, not simply men fleeing a burglary who apparently posed no physical danger to anyone.

 

Maybe instead of suffering this will lead others and himself not to take such actions. Criminals do not respect individuals and cross the line when they commit such acts, they endanger everyone's life including there own when those criminal activities occur.

 

The homeowners were unarmed until they managed to get a shotgun away from one of the crimminals.

 

If they didn't take the guns from the crimmnals the outcome would have been the exact opposite. I am glad the home owners were safe in the end.

 

If the crimminals didn't invade the home and weren't armed, they wouldn't have been shot.

People need to stand up or the crimminals will take over.
