He should have shot him when he was done cleaning, hehe!

Wow! That’s pretty funny! NOT! Nice little vignette into your effed up mind, but spare us next time. How moral!

I think what Anna said was funny, but I would of thought it was funny if he had shot him to.

Shoot first and clean up later would likely have been my approach.  Unless, of course, the thief basically threw himself on the groung and surrendered. 

Judging by this thief’s irritation with the rightful owners of the property, I’d be a little concerned this guy would get a slap on the wrist and be back for a little revenge.

What a coincidence, that’s the gist of your argument for capital puishment. Considering, from the sounds of it, that the guy had no gun/weapon on him, you’d likely get 2nd degree murder for that.

Wetback. Shooting people who are no longer a threat or are ‘in custody’ so-to-speak is not funny.

but spare us next time.

Yes, of course.. by all means Sparkie, I’ll be sure to do that, NOT!

Sparkie, I’m more interested in protecting my own life and the lives of my family to take the time to try and figure out if the thief who broke into my home has a weapon or not.  Of course, if it is somehow obvious the thief is of no threat to the lives of my family’s or my own, then the guy gets to live. 

Don’t worry yourself Sparkie, I know the law and intend to abide by it.  No 2nd degree murder here.

I’m… interested in protecting my own life and the lives of my family…

a hard thing to do from jail. as long as you know your rights, eh? i just have some limitation insofar as its difficult for me to chuckle about shooting real people, intruders or not. its damn serious. i will put holes in someone before they interrupt the lives of my loved ones or myself. here though, we are talking about a subdued and/or unarmed thief. furthermore, its my view that just because one can legally get away with shooting someone does not mean that they should shoot that person if they can avoid it. we seem to differ here, HG. you don’t care if its avoidable. the emphasis is on security and not accurate perceptions of threat (what if you shot a plain clothes cop who was surveying the damage and writing a report and not a lingering theif?) - clearly that is problematic (and maybe this point could be opened up a bit and applied elsewhere), but people do get their ‘rocks off’ in increasingly odd ways nowadays (c.f. Anna, ‘shooting people is funny’.

Yun Chu said, “You must strictly not express in words what is very significant. Both dragon and snake are killed in one blow.”

You may very well be, I was not.

HG. you don’t care if its avoidable.

Whether or not it is avoidable depends wholly on the theifs immediate response to being confronted by deadly force.  I care much more about the lives of my family and myself than I care to avoid removing an unknown threat that in a split second could prove to be deadly. That is the circumstance chosen by the thief, not me. The thief has put this moral delimma upon the property owner and he had better be prepared to deal with the consequences before he decides to burglarize the home of a gun owner.

Sparkie: If I was on the jury where HG was being tried, and I felt that HG reacted out of fear and self defense alone, there would be nothing but Not Guilty out of me.

You don’t have time to think under certain conditions, It’s better that an unarmed robber gets killed, than an unarmed family gets killed.

Not only should scumbagcrackhead have been forced to clean up his mess, he should then have been interrogated as to the location of said property owner’s property. Then received a thorough beating, administered with a baseball bat. Then incarceration for minimum 10 years at hard labor.

spark, your defense of crackhead criminals stealing people’s shit is a bit puzzling. Since you live in the current “most violent city in America” do you happily hand over all your property to these crackheadscumbags? I sincerely doubt it.

Sparkie, your leftist mentality is showing. i.e. the criminal is the victim.

Also note that if the anti-gun liberals were in control, McKinnon would not have had a gun and the burgalar would have walked free.

You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

Sparkie, I don’t know about Alabama, but I’ve got a hunch that they’ve got the “Castle Doctrine” there, which more or less states that the owner or renter of a home or business does have the right to use lethal force against someone committing a felony in his home or business.

Burglary is generally a felony.  Do the math.  This burglar should be very grateful that he got to clean up instead of getting “acute lead poisoning.”

Personally, I think this is a stitch, but the training I got for my permit pointed out that it’s generally a bad idea to allow a perp to move around when you’ve got him at gunpoint.  It removes part of your tactical advantage; you rather just tell him to lie down with his hands behind his back while you call 911.

Burglary is generally a felony.

Not if its a business. Let’s say this guy has a business in his garage. Often misdemanors are handed down if the robber believes they are in a business, despite the fact they are in a residence. If you commit a felony with someone else and they shoot someone, you get life in jail. Often the non-shooter will go after the ‘I thought it was a business’ line to get a misdemeanor and accomplice charge and not life in prison.

I only shoot at threats that I can be assured are indeed threats worth shooting at. Y’all can shoot whatever moves at your own place - to each their own.

Hotel
Despite living in the most violent city in the country, we have a 3rd flr apt. On the street there are two doors, both permalocked with wire mesh in the 3/4” thick glass. Inside those two doors on the third floor, we have a solid-core door with no windows, a deadbolt, and a chain. Make it through those three and you are clearly on PCP or some equivalent. Ergo, you become a swisscheese resembling PCP addict. Just because someone is found in your ransacked home doesn’t mean they aren’t an inspector, a bum taking a nap and a piss, or one of your neighbors seeing what the fuck is going on.

Isn’t that what I’ve been saying?… yeah, within the legal limits of course… yeah, you got it Sparkie.

And yes, you go right ahead and take all the time you need to figure out if the thief (keeping within the context of this post) is armed, unarmed, or just crazy enough to physically attack you and shoot you with your own gun.  Some of us haven’t evolved the ESP necessary to do so within the very short time it takes for the thief to make the next move… which hopefully, for your sake, isn’t fatal.
