Violent home invaders are basically terrorists. They deserve nothing less than death. If I were on the jury, I’d acquit the old guy in a split-second.

Good explanation of a reason why the justice system is broken. Some murderers get off free without doing time - cops who kill "suspects", often individuals who have done no crime but are perceived by the cop as a threat. On the other hand, here is an old guy who is not a threat to anyone, won't harm anyone again, and killed because he was victimized by violent thieves doing him harm. I would acquit him also.

Your logic is the same as mine. If a cop can get away with it why can't a civilian, especially an 80 year old man who just got the crap beat out of him ?
