man chases down home invader in car, shoots kills

[MILK]

People are also threatening the guy top of everything else..

Add another statistic to the "blacks commit violent crimes catergory" LOL

While I don't agree that the guy should have chased him down and shot him, I do feel for the guy. They tied him and his wife up at gunpoint then ransacked his house.

You made the mistake of robbing someone at gunpoint. You have paid the ultimate price for it. I hope it was worth it.

When fearing your life you seek shelter and safety at all costs. Chasing the guys down after they left was pure anger.

Anger I agree 100% with and stand behind what he did, but that doesn't change the emotions involved.

How do we know he wasn't just trying to follow them to find out where they lived, hid out, etc.? Or maybe he was just trying to get a license number. Maybe they saw him, stopped and confronted him? At that point, he feared for his life and took appropriate action.

I suppose that's possible but I think it's unlikely. If someone just bound my wife and I then ransacked our house, I wouldn't leave her home alone to get a plate number.

Redneck vigilante justice: the American way.

Or at least, the way that some Americans wish it was. Even though less than 1% of those who claim to want that style of justice would have the guts to actually practice it if given the opportunity.

Why do you call them rednecks? Think this shows your biased way of thinking....you don't have to be a "redneck" to defend your property. Some people just don't want to bend over and get fucked in the ass...some people like getting fucked in the ass. I'm of the former group, which by the way does not make me a redneck, an internet hero, brave, cowardly or anything other than a dude that doesn't like to get fucked in the ass by dirty scumbags who don't deserve to breathe the same air as me.

What strikes me about your posts, Homeslice, is how you always come back to make the point that only a small percentage of us would actually do anything about it and that we're just thumping our chests on the internet. While I believe you're very wrong about that assumption what it really shows me is that YOU are too scared or whatever to do something so you think everyone else's heart must be in the same place.

But you're wrong. I carry a 1911 .45 in Condition 1 most places I go...not because it makes my dick bigger...but because there are bad people out there that deserve to get shot in the face if they dare try to take something I or my wife worked for. Its a mentality I was raised with...as is the case with most of the guys on this forum that you constantly oppose in these matters.

You aren't a redneck for defending your home or your life with a gun.......But you're a redneck for getting into your car and chasing after them and shooting them, IMO.

But I love how some of you try to take anyone who objects to this behavior and lump them into the anti-gun crowd, or anti-self defense crowd.

.

Or perhaps it's not fear, but a different idea about what citizens should and should not be allowed to do. I don't think it's right to use deadly force against someone who no longer presents an equivalent force against you, and is simply running away with something they allegedly took from you. Think of the slippery slope that would open up.

I may be wrong but I doubt there are many police departments whose policies freely allow thier officers to shoot fleeing thieves unless they had used a weapon, had physically assaulted someone, or were physically threatening the officer.

This isn't a guy that stole a case of beer and ran off. He forced his way with 3 others into the house using a gun, tied the couple up while he ransacked their home.

He is no fucking angel and I hope the old guy does not get charged.
