Further Proof That Texans Are Some Trigger-Happy Crackers
Texan Kills Thieves: Hero or Homicidal?
THAT'S RIGHT, GECH. I SAID IT. EDIT: Now with Audio Goodness (on YouTube). Jam it back in, in the dark.

Shock of shock, Mexican thieves in Houston. Pardon me while I shed a tear.
You heard me, beaner. There's nowhere I can't reach. John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |
Whatever, they shouldn't have been breaking into some dude's house and stealing shit. Maybe the guy wasn't in the right in killing them, but I'm certainly not going to get bent out of shape about it. Assholes had it coming.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I don't think he was all that eager to kill. I think in his mind he gave law enforcement a chance, but faced with the choice of watching them get away or stopping them, he decided to stop them. Not saying it was right, but I don't think he was slavering over there at the chance of blowing away some mexican negroes.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I was speaking idiomatically. |
I don't see the problem here :3 A few less scum to be concerned about.
THAT'S RIGHT, PACO. I SAID IT TOO. <3 They were on his property and he decided to take matters in to his own hands. He acted well within the law to defend his own property however he sees fit. Regardless of what some may say, it isn't illegal =o But the victims probably were looool What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
Hey, maybe you should try that thing Chie was talking about.

Well the text was way better than the audio. I was expecting to hear John Wayne or something.
It will be hard to tell if it was really self defense or not, which is what really matters. I don't think he went out with the firm intention to kill them, but he was sure prepared to. also I must admit you guy's reactions are kinda comforting with all the nonsense that's happening around here ;_; FELIPE NO |
He could of been in a paniced state and felt like these people were an immediate threat to his own life and made the choice to kill them. He did give them a warning and honestly if someone had a gun aimed at me I would certainly try my hardest not to get shot. He could of wounded them or I'm sure there could of been other options available that didn't have to result in this man taking two lives. I don't certainly endorse what he did, but its not as if he covered it up. He admitted to what he did, and its up to law to decide if he should get punished or not. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I'm not even pro-gun ownership or anything. In fact, I've never fired a weapon in my life. I am, though, pro-not being a fucking asshole. Jam it back in, in the dark.

Seriously. I own two guns and, while I don't personally ever see myself aiming to put anyone down for good with them, I don't exactly see why I can't if I feel my safety or the safety of my family is threatened. If fuckers are breaking into my house to steal my shit, you better believe I'm at least going to put a slug in his/her leg just to show these fuckers I mean business. I've attempted to do it before... but I missed.
I'm not a very good shot. How ya doing, buddy? |
Not to play devil's advocate, but there is one thing you all are forgetting to see. It's not his house being burglarized, it's his neighbor's. Now what i'm hoping he did was approach them with the shotgun and force them to stop, but perhaps they didn't do that and began to go and attack him, which forced him to shoot the shotgun. In THAT aspect, I see that as self-defense. However, if he fired that shotgun if those two were not getting ready to attack him, then I can't see that as justification for shooting them, despite them stealing from a neighbor's house. I don't see why if he had the control of the situation, just keep that shotgun on their heads as a fear tactic to make them stand still in fear of getting their heads blown off, I know I wouldn't fucking move if a boomstick was pointed at my poor head.
If anything, he should have went outside and tried to get a license plate and car description. I know it's not much, but the law could have easily taken care of those punks in that aspect. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I don't care whose house they were breaking in, the point remains they shouldn't have been doing that in the first place. They got shot, they died, who fucking cares? It's their reward for their actions.
Was he right for doing it that way? Fuck yes. Most amazing jew boots #654: Braixen |

If the suspects attacked Horn then he would be well within the law to fire upon the two victims, but you'll have a hard time convincing me that two guys who robbed an unoccupied house would charge a crazed man with a shotgun. In addition, I believe that if he had actually been threatened we would have heard more than "Boom, you're dead." The crime was reported, officers were en route, and there is no evidence that the victims had used, or had any intent to use, any type of force. His actions, whether or not lawful, were excessive and unnecessary. Whoever said the law was always right is a god damn fool, and whoever thinks this man was justified in his actions is one too. Just one more reason for me to stay the hell out of Texas. I was speaking idiomatically. |

They weren't breaking in to his own house so he can't claim he was protecting his property, and there's no evidence to suggest that his person was in danger. I'm not sure how this doesn't qualify as murder, exactly. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |

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? |

As for some people who said they didn't believe people would rush an armed man. There are things you have to take into mind. People panic when they're in trouble, they don't want to get shot but they also don't want to go to prison when the cops arrive. The man was 61, maybe they thought he was a terrible shot at his age? What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I know you guys are going to jump all over me for saying this.
But seriously. There's this thing called home owners insurance. If I were watching my neighbors getting robbed, I'd have a fucking camera and I'd not risk my own life by taking pictures of them through my window. I'd take a few pictures, make sure I got some pretty good shots, and then tell the neighbors about my pictures when I got home. Really. It's only a bunch of STUFF. They were shot over material goods which would have been covered by home owner's insurance. It was an overreaction to KILL them. The least he could have done was shoot them in the KNEECAP or something. Fuck that murder over robbery shit. It's not right. Self-defense my ass. The guy was considered a "loose cannon." And I believe it. If the spics were next door raping and killing the neighbors, I'd say their deaths were justified. But robbing a house? Give me a fucking break. The Texan just wanted a chance to use the gun for something other than shooting deer. FELIPE NO

I'd shoot anyone trespassing in my home. I'd think for one second less if I have a family. I wouldn't shoot to kill. I'd aim for the knees. Thighs if I'm feeling mellow. Feet if I need a laugh. I've been burglarized and it sucked, but it isn't worth a life. It's better to make a point a person can learn from.

oh lol this thread
Throw the book at the old man. He wasn't in danger, they weren't entering his home, they didn't even know he was there. There was no one in the home that would have been put in danger by these thieves. Yeah I mean they're assholes but Grandpa Vigilante there is grade-a all the way. I mean, as long as 'being a dick' is sufficient grounds for punishment. Most amazing jew boots |
