Two men suspected of burglarizing a neighbor's home were shot in the back by Pasadena homeowner Joe Horn after the suspects ventured into his front yard, Pasadena police disclosed Friday.
Also, for the first time, investigators revealed the Nov. 14 shooting was witnessed by a plainclothes Pasadena detective, who had pulled up in an unmarked car seconds before Horn fired three shots from his 12-guage shotgun.
The detective's name was not released as the new details emerged about the controversial shootings that have outraged minority activists but also brought an outpouring of support from others.

While I understand Horn's anger, I don't support his action. I don't get the sense that he was seriously threatened in a physical sense, and a warning shot probably would have been enough to get them to drop their loot.
Horn gives gun owners a bad name. And the law enforcement agencies that allowed the perps the opportunity to invade Horn's neighborhood give law enforcement -- or their bosses -- a bad name.

“I think Joe Horn is about to be in big trouble.”
Some of us pro gunners have been cringing about this one from the git go with that video tape. I hope this latest stuff isn’t all true.
This is like a Michael Moore version of a worst case scenario for gun rights.

I think Joe Horn is about to be in big trouble. Well those two POS probably needed putting down, but I think it would take a miracle for Horn not to be charged.

Dang. You just can’t do that. I might contribute to his defense fund anyway.

Front, back or upside down. They shouldn’t have been robbing a house.

I think Joe Horn is about to be in big trouble. I don't think so. They were on his property.
To: Paleo Conservative
It won’t matter. He shot them in the back which clearly indicates that they were not threatening him.

Used to be a time when getting killed was considered an occupational hazard of being a criminal.

A source told police that Ortiz and Torres burglarized the home, in part, because the homeowners were immigrants. "They targeted foreign-born people," Corbett said. "They felt they were easier victims."
Little is known about the homeowners, who have Vietnamese surnames.

Well one thing is for sure. They won’t be back to rob or harm anyone else.

Not true.
I'm pretty darn sure you can shoot a man in Texas if he's stealing from your, or your neighbors (if you've been asked to watch it) property.

Because a criminal could never be pulling a weapon with his back turned?
