Control your little scumbags and they won't get killed.

It is getting really old that we hear this every time some punk thug gets his due. The fact they were young makes no difference.

Meh, I'm all in favor of being able to defend your home from invaders (can't believe I even had to type that out), but they probably didn't "deserve to die". Home invasion shouldn't be a capital offense.

If they'd been arrested they wouldn't have been killed. I mean, don't break in and you don't run that risk, but I have a hard time feeling upset at family and friends of dead minors.

I disagree, it should absolutely be a capital offense, but the guy who killed these kids was a psycho scumbag and deserves the charge he got,

So, you should sit back and hope the home invaders don't kill you, "because they don't deserve to die."

Home invasions should be viewed on the same level as murder, pedophilia, and rape. It's the worst type if crime.

Do it. You die.

Home invaders - criminals (and dead as a result)

Honestly, if you break into my home you have asked to be killed. Seriously. It is that simple.

And of course, because of the age of the "victims", this has the potential to turn into a sob story about irresponsible gun use.

"They were already dead by the time the cops came." -Black friend

Yeah, no shite they were. Should the homeowners apologize for not attempting to perform a citizen's arrest on two separate individuals and detaining them until the cops could arrive? Idiot.

The sister and mother of the teen saying that they don't understand why he was shot to death.
WTF. Do they even realize what they are saying? Seriously, have they, for even 5 seconds, attempted to place themselves in the shoes of the homeowners. You can bet the bank they would be singing a different tune if it were their home that was being broken into and they were the ones who had to make a decision to protect themselves. I know it was their family, and that emotion will cloud their perspective, but dang.

BTW, the old guy in the glasses at 1:50 sums up the situation perfectly.

Oh. You're one of those.

Alright. It's early and I haven't put up with much retardation today, so I'll help you out for a minute.

If you think home invasion should be punished with the death penalty, you're likely pretty crazy. If you defend your home and family with lethal force, you're entirely justified. There's a huge difference between acting violently to defend oneself and the government choosing to kill someone after the fact. I'm suggesting that what they did didn't warrant death, but that what they did could absolutely have been defended against with lethal force.

It's really, really simple. The above quoted text tells me that you are, too.

It should not be a capital offense. You're right.

However, this is not a case of administering justice. It's a case of self-defense.

They were not killed because they broke into the home. They were killed because their criminal presence was perceived as a mortal threat.

Two completely different things.

The widow in the home had been burgled twice before, and the news article states that fingerprints from one of the deceased burglars was matched to one of the previous break-ins. They were killed as they terrorized an elderly woman, yet again.


Sounds justified to me. How many breakins are they allowed before being deemed "fair game" for their actions?

Very rarely does someone deserve to die but their actions are why they died.. In this instance, they choose to play a deadly game and lost.

Thank you. You have no idea if they are trying to harm you or not. Only one way to react in that situation, and that is emptying the mag

Speaking of retardation...didn't read the story, did you?
