BS. This was not a model home. The property was not listed for sale. He’s a thief.
I think your attitude towards doing this might depend a lot on geography.
I can tell you that this would be considered a perfectly acceptable practice in many parts of the country.
So, summary execution for thieves in the USA?
What did he steal?
You remind me of a busybody who called the police on two suspicious older characters in her neighborhood many years ago. We were on an afternoon walk in our own neighborhood and she evidently didn’t like it. I was taking photos of homes for sale in the area to look them up when I got home.
I am not sympathetic to the would be possible crook but no one should put themselves in the position these guys did. One, they are not cops. Two, they had no legal authority to operate as potential security guards. Three, no reason to go running about the neighborhood with a long gun in a residential neighborhood playing vigilante That is how I see it.
As far as how this may play out in court, without this becoming a political football, perhaps manslaughter at most. With the media and political oversight, it will be charged as murder 2 and probably convicted. This is not a Trayvon situation beyond a black white issue.
