These three young criminals had no respect for the homeowners property. Property costs a part of your life to aquire. Destroying your property is destroying a part of your life.

[agere_contra]

They have been charged with attempted burglary.

One of them got shot. Aren't they on the hook for that as well?

If this kid’s parents had taught him right and wrong and respect for the property of others, he wouldn’t be dead.

You are 100% correct. The Good Lord doesn’t say “Well, you lost 2 years worth of hard work, because someone stole some of your possessions, so I’ll just extend your life those 2 years”. You lose a part of your life, your possessions and the ability to feel secure in your own home.

The world was made better by a factor of 1, too bad the parent’s were such dismal failures in not being able to teach their kid right, from wrong. I’m willing to be a meal at a fine dining establishment that the parents noticed that their child was brining home some new stuff that he ‘found’, and they didn’t do anything about it. New bike, skateboard, clothes, games - I see it all of the time. A kid steals, and his parents defend the child; thus encouraging him to steal more.

One less thief to worry about.

I don’t know the race of the shooter or the perps, but I saw an interesting statistic on the “stand your ground” law. Apparently the number of blacks shot by whites is up significantly since the law was passed. And those shootings were considered self defense.

Perhaps “Hood” Middle School should consider changing its curriculum, or at least warn their prize students of the dramatic increase in arms sales across America since their fearless leader took office.

[NRA1995]

Cobler opened fire on the intruders, killing 14-year-old Luis Avila, a student at Hood Middle School.

The name of the school seems appropriate enough.....

[MissMagnolia]

‘Hood’ Middle School .....

I came very close to shooting a perp not much older than the one in this story. Surprised each other while he was attempting to burglarize my garage. His bad luck I had just returned from a session at the range, with magnum revolver still on my hip. This happened not more than one week after a neighbor lady came home from work for lunch, and experienced the same with a young perp standing in her foyer. He attacked her. She shot and killed him with a .38 snubby carried in her purse. Nothing more dangerous than a young perp. They lack self control, common sense, and fear of death. They'll kill you in a heart beat for nothing more than the change in your pocket, or for some shiny nick-nack or dust catcher they've just stolen from your family room book case.

Like what like shade of skin like were those of the “kids?”

Like just curious.

(Sorry folks. I just couldn’t hep’ myself. Saludos.)

Destroying your property is destroying a part of your life.

Ah, a fan of Bistiat's "The Law"?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Shouldn’t La Raza be trotting out a baby picture of the innocent deceased “child” to show how evil the homeowner is?

"It's surprising like to see like kids — 13-year-old kids — like breaking in nowadays," added Sarah Trevino
Why do I get the feeling Sarah LIKELY attended publik schools?

[Darren McCarty]

Don’t break into houses.

[GeronL]

The homeowner did nothing wrong. IMO.

[morphing libertarian]

There’s another thread running in which these thugs would be called “daring kids.”

[The Cajun]

It would probably bother me after the fact, but would have done exactly what the home owner did without hesitation.
Somebody breaking into my house, I go into the I win, you lose mode.
