Homeowner chases down two would-be robbers, killing one

[Steve in PA]

Gee LawDog, I've argued this fact on what, two pages now and got no where.

Must be that "moderator" status

Your right, And I think in the case of this guy shooting people for being on his front lawn. He was wrong. Legally wrong, maybe not morally, but legally. You know if it was me I might act the same way if this wasn't the first time my property was screwed with. But I can see where he would act this way if people kept messing around with him his family and his property.

And to boot, if I came to people snooping around my house late at night. And my family was home in the house alone. I would probably get hostile too.

Hard to tell you guys in type. Without being redundant. Sorry for the confusion. I hope yuo guys understand what I'm saying.

In this case we must remember that we don't have all the facts. The newspaper has said that the incident went down in this fashion, but I'm here to tell you that newspapers lie.

Steve and I don't see justification for Deadly Force based on what was presented by the newspaper -- but that doesn't mean that Deadly Force wasn't justified, because there are probably a whole bunch of mitigating factors that the newspaper forgot to mention.
