[Centurion2000]

Whether the trespassers were cops or crooks and if a war on terror did not exist, you can't use lethal force against people you suspect to be pi$$ing on your prize winning roses.

that a nice load of horse$#!@ you have there. The rules change when you get to Texas and Florida. Lethal force against trespassers is most certainly authorized. you may not like, but so what?

You do have the right to call 911,turn off the interior lights, arm yourself with every weapon you own and blow away any and all who kick down your door and storm into your home without identifying themselves.

Some people prefer to be self reliant and use the cops for their proper functions, mainly deterrence and record-keeping.

The cops should have LEFT the property. Just because you have a tin star doesn't give you the right to crap all over people's property rights.

[F.J. Mitchell]

If you really believed that horse hockey you are spewing, you would already be serving life, for blowing away the UPS man or the pizza delivery guy or a Jehovah's witness or the paper boy or a trick or treater or a member of your family arriving home later than expected. Or sitting on death row for shooting a neighbor's dog for sh*tting in your yard.

It has been my experience that the tougher people talk anonymously, the wimpier they are in the real world.
