Yeah, what was I thinking? I suppose hunting down an unarmed man and then executing him really is high comedy.

Upon reading it again, this story does not smell right.

I would not be surprised if it were a case of the "burglar" being a "back door man" of a different kind.

It is a very weird sounding story. I agree with MarkO that there may be something more going on.

Given that guilt must be proven beyond reasonable doubt, allowing protection of property as an absolute defense even when it involves pursuing someone out into a field well after the crime invites problems.

There is also the fact that people can make mistakes in situations like that.

It is one thing when the person is breaking into your house or is in your house.

Manager Shoots, Kills Robber

http://www.click2houston.com/news/21895165/detail.html

SPRING, Texas -- Two people tried to rob a Spring dry cleaning business, but the shop's manager didn't let them succeed, KPRC Local 2 reported.

Harris County sheriff's deputies said Nam-Duong Nguyen, the manager of the $1 Cleaners in the 18600 block of Kuykendahl Road, saw two people approach the store at about 6:35 p.m. Monday.

Nguyen said the two were wearing all black and he saw them pull masks over their faces.

The two crouched down and approached the front door, Nguyen told investigators.

Nguyen said he saw the two reach into the waistbands for an object. Nguyen, who has a concealed handgun license, pulled out his gun and fired toward the men about three times, investigators said.

The two tried to get away, but only one of them actually did. One of the men collapsed and died behind the northeast end of the strip center where the dry cleaning business is located, deputies said. The person had been shot, detectives said.

Yeah Stovie, but it ain't like the guy shot someone in his house while robbing it. Heck it wasn't even in his house, and it wasn't even on his property when he killed the dude, according to the nabes.

Police said at 12:30 a.m., Croff began chasing two men he found standing in his back yard on the city's east side.

One of the men ran away, but 53-year-old Silas, of Detroit, turned around and had a verbal exchange with Croff, who then shot him.


Yeah, he was stuipid thinkin' he was gonna play Paul Blart ad now he's going to go to prison. The article never even said the shooting victim was armed or not. Hmmmm, I bet he wasn't.

After being a felony prosecutor in the Chicago for over two decades, I learned that a lot of people are shot dead in legitimate self defense. I also learned that gangbanger who are charged with murder often will claim some sort of phony self defense. When the rules of evidence are evenly applied, the criminal justice system does a good job of sorting out the legitimate claims of self defense from the phony claims of self defense.

But I have never seen a felon shot dead in self defense ever commit another felony, and this is good for society.

Seventy-two-year-old store owner Charles Augusto Jr. fired at them, wounding McCloud and Witherspoon; two other men were killed.

Back to the Gun Control theme....I like the quote from the woman who shot the waste of human skin when she was asked why she shot him 6 times. She replied well I pulled the trigger the second time and the gun went click.

LOL...Lusho I actually got asked a "what gun should I get if I just want to wound them and not kill them?" question the other night.

My answer was "Get a gun that will easily fit in your ass. Cause thats where the criminal is going to shove it after they take it away from you."

Granted for you that could be a Barrett

A Barretta? That would probably fir better than a Glock.

A friend of mine loves his Glocks but they fit in my hand like a pack of cigarettes. That would probably make it a bad fit for the butt. Square peg in a round hole sorta' thing.

My Sig might fit nicely up someone's butt, but it's so comfortable to hold that my hand would probably go up there with it.
