They should be. This isn’t a Rittenhouse case. They chased the guy down and then killed him. He may or may not have grabbed the weapon. If they hadn’t chased him down then that never would have happened. What they should have done is CALL THE POLICE. The guy wasn’t a threat to anyones’ life that I have heard. He MAY have been a thief and as annoying as it is, you shouldn’t really kill a thief for stealing stuff. Is stuff really worth someone’s life? If someone breaks into my house in the middle of the night I’m going to call the police and wait. If they start coming up the steps toward my family’s bedrooms then they are going to be shot in the face with my 12 gauge or .45. The difference here is stuff can be replaced and lives cannot. If its a choice of my family’s lives or the thief’s life I’m going to choose my family and defend them fully. If they don’t bother my family then they can have my TV or computer or even car. Hopefully the cops get there to deal with them before they escape, but I’m not going to kill them over stuff. Yeah, I get that they are scum and probably deserve to be shot, but its not going to be me that does that. Being offended because they entered my home doesn’t justify my killing them. I can just imagine the day when I have to face God and he asks, did you really kill that guy over a TV? when he and I already know the answer.
Good little victim.
You seem to be a very naïve person. Once perps break into my house, all bets are off. How do you know they just want to steal your TV? Read about The Wichita Horror, or that case in Connecticut where guys broke in, raped the wife and one daughter and killed all but the husband who escaped. You have no idea what kind of crackhead/methhead/evil person is in your house.
