Riot police were on the scene in a Pasadena neighborhood Sunday afternoon as a planned protest teetered on the brink of mayhem.

Quanell X and his followers planned to meet in front of the home of Joe Horn, the man who shot and killed two suspected burglars at his neighbor’s home last month, in the 7400 block of Timberline for a protest around 3 p.m.

But they were met with an even larger group of protesters in support of Horn’s actions.

“Horn has a problem though, if the article reported his converation with the police dispatcher right. He left his home after saying the words : “ I’m gonna kill ‘em.” That shows intent to kill, not to defend a neigbor’s property.”

It’s accurate. I heard the 911 call played up here in Oklahoma, and that is what he said. Methinks he’s going to trial.
