KHOU.com staff report


Police released the 911 call from Wednesday fatal shooting of two suspected robbers. In it a man, believed to be in his 70s, opened fire when he confronted two men who thought was breaking into a neighbors home.

The dramatic call to police has the unidentified shooter telling the Pasadena police dispatcher, "I won't let them get away with this."￾

Soon after you can hear the distinct sound of the cocking of a shotgun and repeated shots being fired.

The shooting may become a test of the state law that allows someone to use deadly force to protect one's property. But does that right extend to protecting the property of your neighbors?

Glad someone stood up for their rights.
This guy should be rewarded not prosecuted.

who edited it the smokin you smiley? me likey

In OK, it is called, Make my day law, but I am not sure exactly how the law works.

 

[heavybusa]

So I will say in this case he was in the wrong.

But also, 5+ mins for a leo to respond is a bit excessive in my opinion.

So I would have to put the blame on the city because the man felt threatened.

...puts to rest the age old dilemma of which weapon is best for home protection.

shoot'em all....let the afterlife sort'em out

j/k...a lil disturbing IMO-i'd hate for my old-azz neighbor 2-doors down to blow away one of my friends drunk in the backyard cuz he dont like bein woke up late...

I say give the guy a medal for protecting his neighbor.

Hope they weren't filming a new episode of It Takes a Thief for the discovery channel.

 

[Blue Lightning]

I'm moving to his neighborhood. That guy rocks!

 

[pbghost]

at least they won't be repeat offenders, or no chance on an extra burden on our already over crowded prison system, although the old guy did screw the lawyers out of some cash defending the scum.

to the old guy,

thieves

 

[Mr Bogus]

lessee... trial, public defender, jury, mistrial, do it all again and jail time... $500G

or

2 shotgun shells $1 and no repeat offender issues...

 

[Mr Bogus]

you know the one thing that stands out and it pisses me off is the comment that the guys were the bad guys and they were breaking in to the house... the news station goes "the penalty for that is not death" and I sort of agree... WHAT IF and it happens all the damn time... they break in and kill the home owner when he surprises them... screw that noise, the innocent got the drop this time and the jerks (who for all anyone knows could have easily been the killers) died for it....

Sorry but I am on the neighbors side and sure hope he gets a jury trial... I bet it takes 10 minutes to decide his fate

 

[razorshark]

lol...hello, you're dead! damn straight...

 

[Glyn]

They were bad guys, they were doing a bad thing. But the penalty for that is not to be shot,







Right, shooting is too good for them......

Thieves...

 

[Turbo-Torch]

Freakin' awesome!

To think he stopped those two piles of puke from breathing at that moment is too funny. Burn in hell ya sh!tbags! Actually I hope death wasn't instant, hopefully the blast did a lot of bodily damage and they suffered a good long time before dying...such as drowning in their own blood and vomit as it filled their shredded lungs.

Anyone know if a lawyer fund has been started up for this guy? I'd gladly donate!

Let yourself in uninvited get wheeled out & toe tagged..... fair exchange
