Could this get any more biased?

[Broncojohnny]

Who is paying them?

Advertisers?

I don't believe anything in the article. Was she running away? Is this even a real story? lol

All he did was save the baby a life of problems. I have zero sympathy for thieves and I think the old man doesn't give a fuck because, well, he is 80.

[Samhain]

I bet he gets the book thrown at him seeing as it's California.

Didn't Joe Horn (Houston) shoot a guy who was running away as well? He was cleared IIRC.

The article reads as an execution not a stand your ground or castle doctrine case. What makes it an execution(as the article reads) to me is she was shot, fell down, and he admittedly shot her after she "begged" him to not kill her because she was pregnant. Where was the threat to the shooter at that point? Where was the risk of not recovering the item . His comments would lead me to believe he fired the second shot out of anger and not fear... Which to me would be admittedly executing her

I only watched like half of the interview. That guy is fucked. He should have shut.the.fuck.up.

This!

You can use DF to prevent criminal mischief and theft at night. FYI Your pocket book may not like it, but it is there.

How long have you owned a gun, 6 months? Lol.

8 months, bitch! I have been paying attention to gun laws in Texas pretty closely for the last decade though just out of curiosity.

I'm no lawyer, but if it occurred as written, I think you're wrong. Once she was running away, his pursuit of her into a public alley with a weapon in hand, isn't really defending one's self. The castle doctrine affords you the right to defend yourself and your property, not chase people away and execute them. I believe if she had some of his possessions on her person and he feared them unrecoverable, he may have half a leg to stand on.

Joe Horn shot at least one or both thieves in the back as they were running away. However, that's Texas where there is no duty to retreat. California may look at this very differently.

And everyone says a 22 is a "Non Event" for protection.

Private Joker: How can you shoot women or children?

Door Gunner: Easy! Ya just don't lead 'em so much!

Works just fine for execution though. If it happened as written, I'd have a hard time absolving him of any wrong doing.

If you are pregnant don't break into houses and you won't get shot. If you do shoot someone don't admit to anything without speaking to an attorney. Tom Greer is not helping his case at all by talking to the media, it almost sounds like he's bragging about it.

Ain't war hell!?

He's figuring he's 80. He has only a few years to live left and if he goes to prison he'll get the best possible health care. It's no different than a nursing home.
