The reason I don’t own a gun is because I don’t own anything worth killing someone over. I wonder what’s in that shed that was worth more than a human life? I suppose he just considers it a matter of principle. Messed up principals 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Dallas it is ok to shoot a burglar when they are inside your house, but outside, even if they are caught breaking a window or what ever you are just supposed to call the police, if you do anything else you are the one who goes to jail. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you let them kill you? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he did not call the police will especially keep him from using the Joe Horton defense.

If he is breaking into your house you can assume your life is in danger and use deadly force. If he's breaking into your property outside your house you may not make that assumption and may not kill him. The law is the same here. What he should have done was break his back door, drag the guy into the house and hose all the blood stains away in the yard, then call the cops.

That's not the case in this thread though. This guy was in no danger. If he had even made the guy aware he was there he probably would have ran away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the lawyer told him before he called the police? Probably told him to call the police. It is obvious the man (based on the neighborhood mentioned) has a lot of money. The trial will probably drag out because he can afford a good lawyer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
