How do you know they were "fleeing the scene"?
And even if they were, they are just the type of predatory scumbags that will keep getting away with crimes until someone innocent gets killed at their hands.
Better to teach THEM a lasting lesson, and let THEM (the FAR from innocent) be the ones to get killed so that society can be free of at least TWO more predatory scumbags.
Thank you Mr. Horn. Besides stopping the theft of your neighbor's hard earned (something the perps apparently don't have a concept of) property, you have likely saved future innocent lives.
True, but this is a restriction that applies only to LEOs. It does not apply to victims, on grounds that they are not expected to be law enforcement professionals.
