The answe4r is no.

The guy did the wrong thing. You only get to shoot people if you have a clear and present danger. Leaving your house after a police despatcher had told you to stay inside your house is not a clear and present danger but putting your own life in danger and it could be argued committing a crime whilst another crime was in progress ...falls under the concept of Felony murder.

You also have to met force with like force. If the guy confronts people and they have a tire iron using a gun is a disproportional reaction.

Vigilante justice undermines the foundation of our society and should never be tolerated. I don't care what the other 2 did or had done. The guy is not a hero but just as bad as the 2 guys stealing from his neighbor. It doesn't mean the 2 men that he killed aren't complete cretins either it just means we have a legal system, the police had been called and that is the end of the story. The guy murdered two people its that simple. His property was not in danger, he was not personally in danger, he wasn't even afraid because he left his home, if he was in fear he'd of stayed inside following the advice of the depatcher but instead he left his home after being told to stay inside by a person employed by the police to give advice in such instances (as well as dispatch police) and hunted them down.

Whats next its Ok to kill someone because you thought they looked like they may do something???

People got very exicted because these 2 are illegals with a criminal record its just that simple..same hysterical reactionary crap from the media... vigilante justice is never a good thing and should be treated with disdain and he should be charged.
