I forgot about that part of the Bible where Jesus commanded us to go out and "kill the robbers"! Thanks for reminding me John!
What about the part where Jesus condemned His executioners and those of the two thieves... uhmmm... didn't happen.

So the lesson to the rest of America is to stay off people's property in Texas because if you might stop and approach someones house to ask directions you may be justifiably shot if the owner of the property felt "threatened" by a stranger approaching his door. Ayup! That's what we do down here for fun in the evenings, we'uns just wait for them thar lost folks to come a'wandering up our driveways to ask directions. Them thar ones who done went and broke down and need to use the phone are even more fun! And to boot, there ain't no witnesses left either for our front yard shootin ranges to be bothered with!
YEE HAW! Long live Texas!

So he should have cowered in the closet and hope they didn't come into his house?
John
Yes.
The police were on their way to nab the burglars. They would have gotten caught, and received a punishment that was more pertaining to their crime than execution. . .
Wait untilthey open the door befiore shooting them! Why is that so difficult for those of you that think Mr. Horn was correct in going outside and shooting someone in the back?????
And when they open the door and put a bullet in his head... Oh well?

The arguments are not moot from a moral standpoint, however.
Sadly for those that support Mr Horn thereappears to be no difference between legal and moral

Are you saying that allowing thugs to get away with murder, rape, and theft of a neighbor without challenge or an attempt to stop them is on par with Jesus willingly laying down His life to save those who repent of sin and receive His offer of eternal life?
That's bizarre on a whole new level!
Just curious but which neoghbor of Mr Horn was murdered or raped? Or even physically assaulted?

rgippie,
How would he know and what difference would it really had made?
The man saw something out of the ordinary happening, something that appeared to be a threat to his neighbor's propeerty, even possibly a threat to anyone who may have been inside the house.

The one thing that allows thieves and criminals their boldness is finding out that most people are scared or just don't care to help their neighbors out when they are being victimized.

My point being that he did not know and was therefore not justified in the use of force to such an extent that he murdered two people by shooting them in the back

What would your actions be if you saw someone breaking into your neighbors house?
What would your action be if someone was breaking into your own house with you and your family inside?
Thanks

First off, I would do as the police ordered me to.
Secondly, if it was my neighbors house, I would simply call the police. I love my neighbors, but I am not going to kill to protect their possessions.
If they broke into my house. . . if they weren't going to hurt me or my family, they can take whatever they want.
If there is imminent danger, then I would do what it would take to stop it. Hopefully it wouldn't mean killing.
Even then. . . I still think killing is wrong.
