The incident occurred Saturday in the 1400 block of Avenue F in Marrero. Garnett walked out of his home just after midnight and saw three men sitting inside his car, the report said. Garnett went back into his home and grabbed a Smith & Wesson .40-caliber pistol.
When he stepped back outside, he confronted the burglars, who took off running down the street with two of Garnett's cell phones, according to authorities. Garnett chased them for about three houses, then stopped and fired one shot while standing in the middle of the street, authorities said. Though he heard one suspect make a noise after he fired the shot, neither he nor responding deputies found any evidence that someone was injured, the report said.
The Sheriff's Office responded to the burglary complaint and took Garnett into custody when he admitted firing a gun,

So true
We don't prevent crime, we just settle it

He’s no longer in his house or on his property, they were fleeing and not posing a threat. I understand what it’s like to have some break into your house or vehicle and steal shite; it’s fricking infuriating and in the moment I wanted to kill a mother fricker, too, but you have to expect to be charged if you’re shooting someone in the back.

I wish there is a place (there probably is) where we can buy exploding packs like they banks use.
Everyone start loading up bait cars with these packs.

You kids these days are sissified. So quick to pick up a gun. When I was growing up, this was all the protection we needed. You win some. You lose some. But you live. You LIVE to fight anotha day!

Perfect case for jury nullification

Truth is a good lawyer with good standing with the local court system will grt the charges reduced to nothing that will jeopardize his life in terms if employment or other things that could arise in his life.

"Why no officer, I didn't shoot at them. I did hear a car back fire though."

Unless they can produce a victim, it will probably just be illegal discharge of a firearm.

Unless they are literally inside of your home or car with you, you CANNOT shoot at someone if their back is turned.

This, plus the fact that most people would agree simple nonviolent theft doesn't deserve the death penalty.

shoot to kill then give the gun to your neighbor, stay inside

Not really sure I agree with this....every time he fills out a job application for the rest of his life, he has to answer the question: "Have you ever been arrested?"....his answer will be "Yes"

Rookie. He should have said "I have a gun in my car, it's in the glove compartment. Take a look at it."
Police come back with "Sir, there is no gun inside your vehicle."
"Well dammit, they must have stolen that too and shot at me when they took off! I'm lucky to be alive!"

I said reduced charges.
Will be something light. Any court or DA unwilling to work with a seasoned Defense Attorney in good standing with the bar usually pays the price later in situations like these where the real "victim" is the one who had his property illegally stolen and possessed.
It will be taken care od. Id be shocked if it didnt.

If he would have shot them while they were still in his car or yard he would be free and clear.
