The very same folks who say Mr. Horn is right to shoot these guys who went into the house next door (after he heard glass break) also told me that I and my friend should have called the cops to assist us in getting into his house.
I'd suggest they are inconsistent.
Rather, I now think we should have gone armed to my friend's home and if anyone even so much as looked at us more than a second, shot them down like dogs in the street since it would be quite obvious they wanted to fire on us without provocation.
I had to break into a neighbor’s home one time too. This neighbor had some mental problems and got arrested on a Thursday. By Sunday, she was still in custody, and we knew there was a dog in the house that had no food or water. We called the police, but they wouldn’t do anything until 72 hours had passed since we called them about the issue (not since her arrest - so it would be five or six days the dog would have been in there with no food). Several of us neighbors got together and found a window in the back that would open, and I climbed in and fed the dog and gave it water.
I’m glad I didn’t get shot coming back out the window.
By the way, this woman was truly disturbed. Her house had piles of garbage everywhere and NO furniture at all, other than the mattress sitting on the floor in the upstairs bedroom where the dog was. Seriously, not one piece of furniture in the whole house other than that, and she’d been living there for about a year. We think she was selling drugs and prostituting herself in that house.
