What's going in with this story? Sounds like Home Alone to me.

Would Kevin have been charged with murder if one of the burglars died?

They definitely picked the wrong house that day. This guy was a true sicko. It highlights the danger of going into some stranger's house. You never know what you may find.

Based on this, shouldn't bait cars be illegal for police to use in arrests? I know nobody is dying there, but still.

Guy deserves jail time, don't get me wrong.

Exactly, and so if you don't do it, you don't have to worry about it.

One less thing to worry about. Right?

The reason for his sentence is the second shot. He caught them off guard, shot them, then when there was no apparent reasonable danger, he waited and shot em again.

That was his big problem. You can defend your home, but the second shot was criminal.

The reason was the recording. He could have shot them 15 times and still claimed defense.

(Apologies to other posters for this IM)

Emailed the summation of my research. I did this probably 7 years ago and have not done further research since.

My main problem with this case is how the media has painted the two kids who broke into the house and were killed as innocent, sweet angels who are complete victims and would never do any wrong.

They are getting the Trayvon Martin treatment. In reality these 2 kids were criminals. They were felons. I am not defending what the guy did, but you reap what you sow, and they definitely are not the innocent victims the media is making them out to be.

This. Law enforcement does this on the regular, but it's ok for them to do it. I agree that he deserves to do time based on the other facts of the case.



Side story:

One of my dad's friends was having trouble with kids in the neighborhood hitting his trash cans and making a huge mess when he would put them out at the road for pick up.

One day he decided to fill them up with concrete. Sure enough that night he heard the kids hit the trash cans and demolish their vehicles. Was it baiting? Maybe, but it taught them a lesson.

This guy could have stopped at getting them to commit the crime but he didn't so, unless there were other circumstances that were not mentioned, he deserves to do a little time.

I dont fell bad for the teens at all. You break into someone's house, obviously your life does not matter to you that much. But at the same time I cant feel bad for the homeowner either. He decided he wanted to be the sheriff from some ole western or something. He did his duty and right as a citizen to defend his property/life and neutralize the threat. After its clear the threat was gone, he proceeded to shoot until they were dead, then he awaited a whole day to actually call police. frick that guy

Oh and btw is it bad that I breathed a major sigh of relief when I saw the picture of the teens. I was just so sure it was another case of two black males

Perhaps if they're armed and looking to harm or kill you. Once you realize they're unarmed, and the threat has been neutralized - you no longer have that right. At the point you decide to take someone's life when they are no threat to you, you become worse scum than they are.


This guy is out there but I disagree with you.


If someone breaks into my home the assumption is they're nuts and armed. Anyone who would invade another's property criminally should be considered dangerous and deranged enough to do anything. Shoot til weapon is empty and they can no longer cause harm to you or loved ones.


Calling of the police should happen as soon as a threat is identified, if possible.

You would direct some boring action films.

I'm in the lower percentage for this, but I'll never understand killing to take something or killing for taking something.

It's all material objects that can easily be replaced or gotten back. Life is precious, man.
