It WAS the way I described it before...and that was when I had the officer's statement...
Houston...yep...that case finally got out of court. It was strange. The homeowner chose to confront the bad guys...and he was on the phone with 911 and said some rather incriminating things.
I am on the fence on that one.. . I have neighbors who would check out a prowler at my home ARMED were no one home...and with my thanks I might add. However, they would probably NOT kill the bad guy... They are good enough shots and have seen combat so they would most likely shoot to disable and let the cops deal with the rest...of course their disable means DISABLED
I'm more worried about when Jose gets ****ed off at Chuck cause he was messing around with Tameka. "Naw Officer, we didn't have no beef. I caught him trying to break in next door and shot him when he came at me." SOMEWHERE, there has to be a line. The question is, where is that line drawn?
I have no idea what WD is talking about.--Royal Dragon
