I'm not trying to confront you. I'm on the other side though. I think as long as they have proof these guys were exiting the house with the loot, THAT is the more important factor. Burglary is one of the least prosecuted crimes. Chances are these guys would have gotten away scot free. IMHO they knew the risks when they started, and they paid the price. If I were Horn's neighbor, I'd pay him a reward and help pay any legal fees.

Sarge do you advocate shooting on sight for any crime or just burglary?

Don't want to get jacked for your $12.68 and a hunting license

No news yet...But
The Texas penal code allows the use of deadly force to protect property, including a third party's, under certain conditions. Lynne Parsons, an assistant district attorney in Harris County, declined to say when the case will be presented to a grand jury.
If he is tried, Horn may have to show that he thought the neighbor's property couldn't be recovered any other way, said Sandra Guerra Thompson, a professor at the University of Houston Law Center. She said the verdict would depend on the ``reasonableness'' jurors saw in his action.

The minute that someone attempts to take from me something that I have earned, their life instantly becomes less valuable than anything they are attemtping to take. Horn has to be the most kick-ass neighbor in the entire world. I wish I had a neighbor with half the tenacity that he exhibits. Not only where these two turds burglarizing someone else's things, but they were also illegal immigrants who had no right to be in the country in the first place.

Garysher: hahaha I suppose you would've given them a pat on the bottom and sent them on their way with all your neighbors things in tow, right? No wonder England is such an irrelevant country on the world stage, it is full of dickless pussies. So if the burglars had happened across someone's grandmother on their next expedition of burglary, and killed her, wouldn't that be your fault for letting them get away? Suppose they decided to rape someone on their next outing? Would Horne still have been "wrong" in shooting them? They got what they got for doing what they did, and the whole world should rejoice. Instead we have pussies who would rather allow criminals to continue their tyrades of destruction than allow private citizens to protect their neighbors property. if someone comes into my house with negative intentions the best thing that they can hope for is a quick death. Have fun being robbed, raped, and murdered, while being too much of a pussy to do anything about it. Ha! Maybe California should defect and become part of the UK, so that you can have all of the most limp-wristed foppish pussies of the world in one nation.

Personally I dont advocate that anyone do anything. But any crime that is perpetuated against me will end with a good ass-kicking at the very least, and painting the wall with the perpetrators brains at the most. This situation can very easily be avoided by not fucking with me or anyone else. Don't cross the line that makes you a piece of shit and you wont have to worry about getting shot. Transgress against my well-being however, and your life is on a shelf. Just to clarify though.... attempt to rape, assault,burglurize, or murder me or anyone that I know(that includes pets)... then you die(or at the very least get beaten so bad that you cry yourself to sleep for a month). Anything else you want to do.... go for it without fear, because as long as you aren't inhibiting anyone's right to pursue happiness then whatever you are doing can't be that bad.

Inanimate object < Human life. I can't really get past that. I don't see how possessions are worth shooting someone over.

That's because Canadians are "limp-wristed foppish pussies" like the Europeans! Oh and the Californians.

The world needs more tough guys like Toxic so we all have to sleep with a gun under the pillow.

Hahaha why are you so worried about what I do? All I want to do is protect and defend my property and my neighborhood. Why is the fact that I have balls so threatening to the dickless? As long as you don't plan on breaking into my home you have nothing to worry about. And who the fuck said humanlife was so valuable? How is it wrong for me to shoot some peice of shit, yet it's ok for some irersopinsible cunt to get an abortion. And by the way, I fucking love abortion! And the death penalty is great too!

"The world needs more tough guys like Toxic so we all have to sleep with a gun under the pillow".

Now you are getting it! As long as there are fucked up people in the world with guns, then normal people need to have them too, or else they have no mean of protecting themselves from fucked up people. How is it that infringing on your own rights makes you safe? Do you not trust yourself with the responsibility? You would rather be at the mercy of people like me than have the right to protect yourself? If that is the case I laugh at you. This is about denying yourself rights , and then feeling safe because of it. If you think trading your rights in is going to give you personal safety then you are fucking insane. Hitler was a big advocate of gun control too, because once he took all the guns away , no one could oppose him. The bottom line : I will always have guns, and if you don't then anyone who has one can impose their will upon you. If you want to live at the mercy of someone else feel free. I however will live in actuality where physical reality overrules bullshit ideology anyday.

Just answer me one question.... what will you do if someone with a gun breaks into your house and you don't have a gun of your own to defend yourself?

Answer... whatever the fuck the guy with the gun tells you to.

"Inanimate object < Human life. I can't really get past that. I don't see how possessions are worth shooting someone over. "

Hahahahahahahahahahaha hahaha , I would kill a motherfucker before I would let them take a nickel from me... no fuck that, make it a penny. I worked for it, thus it is mine. That penny might be the last penny I needed for granny's heart transplant, and do you think some coward thief piece of shit cares about that? No, and that is why I don't care about their worthless lives. Do you think a thief cares if he is endangering my family when he breaks into my home? Nope, and that is why his life is worth nothing. but pardon me if I'm no sensitive enough to the needs of some piece of shit who cares nothing about me, you, society, or your fucking feelings. The basic tenants of America are Life, Liberty, adn the right to own property(that pursuit of happiness shit just sounded better). Therefore, anyone trying to infringe that right, will be met by my other rights, namely my right to bear arms and protect myself. And yes people in Canada are fucking pussies. And if you didnt know it is legal to own guns in Candada.

Why is it that people in Europe are so worried about American's rights to bear arms? Just stay in Europe and you won't have to worry about it. If we are such ignorant hillbillies, why does everyone have such a hardon about taking away our rights? In Europe there are actually laws against believing the wrong thing or speaking the wrong political philosophy. Hell, In Germany someone jsut got sentenced to 6 and a half years for denying part of the holocaust story, while another guy walked free in seven years for killing and eating a random woman, and you are supposed to be the progressive ones? Ha!
