Sadly, the family of the dead burglar will probably sue the old man in a civil case and WIN. We need to change the civil law so that death during a crime such as this does not let the estate of the dead idiot to sue. The burglar probably has ranks of people who will flock to court to talk about this former choir boy, star athlete, serious student, and paragon of humanity who was probably a future Nobel Peace Prize winner but the world was deprived of his essence by this 'crazed gun wielding nut'.

Heard this morning on the radio that the ever watchful bureaucrats in the city have condemned the man's house. Seems they couldn't spend the time to protect the citizens, but they can sure as hell find the time to hassle them after the fact.
Too bad, while the Minnesota government can shell out big bucks to bring the criminal elements from Chicago, Somalia and the rest of the world and feed and house them, they can't seem to provide any help for taxpayers or the elderly.

Why is it that there's always a fog of guilt toward those defending themselves? There's always the question as to whether the homeowner is in trouble for defending himself....

If it was a reasonably justifiable shooting, few lawyers will take the case because they work on contingency and if they lose, they get nothing and have wasted their time. A jury trial is a crap shoot.

Posted yesterday under different title http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1745148/postsThanks. Date on the source cited 11/29/2006 at 0645hrs, so I thought it was a brand new story.
Admin Moderator, please lock this thread and reference the original story. Thanks.

Of course there is a fog of guilt toward the defender. The guy who broke into this house was an undocumented tenant. Like its his fault he picked a house with a gun owner who happens to be a good shot? I hope he didnt damage his walls. It so hard to get renovations done during the hoildays.

I think when a shooting like this occurs in CO, a though investigation is done, and then Law Enforcement offically clears the shooter. That completed procedure then gives immunity to the shooter against the types of lawsuits you are talking about.
So when you read that someone killed an intruder in self defense, "and the police are investigating and questioning the shooter" that is to protect the truely innocent shooter, not a ploy to charge him.

I'm guessing that the author of this article is not a native English-speaker. It's rather awkward.

The homeowner has been questioned by police in the incident and he was never placed under arrest nor was he hurt during the break-in which happened around 11 Monday night. Not a mention if they took his gun. My guess is they did, now he is vulnerable to another attack.
