HAY GUYS

I still don't understand why people accept death as a reasonable penalty for theft.

Such a snooty little bitch, aren't you Capo?

Even if the guys had obeyed the 911 operator's commands, this guys lives in a well off neighborhood. Places like this are target-areas for burglaries. Not to mention, most criminals that get away with a crime tend to repeat the offense. I know that even from stunts I've pulled myself.

This guys house was in some form of risk if those men weren't caught. I've been robbed by niggers before, and my neighbors called it in. I sure wish they would've come out with a shotgun. But instead, all my belongings disappeared.

How ya doing, buddy?

All he's got after 8 minutes on the phone is "Officers are on the way just stay inside."

It's just like Home Alone. Lulz for everybody!

1) Probably when they intrude on the rights of others. The thieves have a right to life, but the homeowners and the man also have a right to security in their own living quarters.
2) It's a safe assumption to think the house was empty.
3) When it's apparent that the law has failed. If the burglars had gotten away, the police wouldn't have investigated. Anything other than murder rarely ever gets escalated. They'd have made some half-ass attempts to gather prints (which I'm sure the burglars were at least smart enough to not leave any), then go back to the donut shop.

Just curious, are you Pro-life, or Pro-choice?

And it's a shame that you can't grasp the concept that there are actually some people out there that deserve to die. Life is a dime a dozen. I could go and create a life right now if I wanted. So when somebody makes their life (arguably) worthless, I think it's reached the end of it's value.
If somebody disobeys an armed police officer severely, I believe he's allowed to pop a cap.

When I was robbed, I think the insurance was liberty mutual. I had nothing for 3 months. NOTHING. They left one TV. Which doesn't do any good when you don't have cable. When they did send the shit, they obviously couldn't replace my VGM or my Dreamcast or all the files I had on my computer, so you can't say you can replace anything.

How ya doing, buddy?

Of course my argument is full of holes. I can't argue for the hell of it and always be right.

All in all, I think Horn's actions were wrong and illegal. But the deaths of the two men were not justified, but certainly not wrong. Fuck them.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
