The homeowner was defending his property from multiple attacks from these “youths,” and you two insist on calling this “murder?” The homeowner knew these stupid kids would be back, and he knew the police wouldn’t help him defend his property - what was he supposed to do? Issue a strong warning to anyone attempting to break down the door? Those stupid kids refused to learn from their earlier experiences.
He created a man trap, that’s illegal in all 50 states.
if all he wanted to do was protect his property, tell me, why did he continue to shoot them after they were down and he knew they were unarmed? And why did he wait over a day after he did it to tell anyone? And most of all, why did he bother to record the whole thing for posterity?
This guy’s no hero, he’s a murderer. The folks killed were criminals as well, no defense for them entering his home, but he clearly intended to kill. He set up a trap, premeditated and executed it.
Like it or not, that’s murder in all 50 states.
They broke in, he fired, he shot and wounded them both. One thing he shouldn't have done was then to go to the two intruders and deliberately fire kill shots into both of them. That's where the murder comes in.
So five shots to one kid and two to another is simply protecting yourself? Wounding one, having a misfire saying “oops I am sorry”, then walks up to an obvious non-combative girl, says “You’re dead...b$tch” and then kills her is protecting your life and property?
Sorry but there is reasonable and non-reasonable. Execution is not reasonable.
