I'm always surprised reading the comments. Too many people have their heads in the sand. Too many people make excuses for the criminals.

That's good.
They threatened, he protected himself and provided aid.
Hopefully that will hold up and the homeowner won't be indicted.

I would shoot a thief in the back if I could get away with it.
Well, maybe I'd make him dance a little

Trolls.

Progressive liberals.

Good shoots, both of them.

Like I said, trolls.

While I feel bad for the homeowner having to deal with this, I feel like one of his shots was a bit off the mark. He could have fired a third shot and not felt like he needed to provide any aid. Anyway, a near perfect ending to a night of home burglary.

Although as a pacifist I personally would let somebody rob me rather than kill them. I don't own anything somebody can steal worth killing over. But, as a citizen and valued member of the community, I won't question the judgement of the homeowner.

Ya, right...:)

But it was a detached garage. So, it's not really their actual property that I'm bugrlarizering.

Detached garage. Cockroach infested alley. What's the difference? He felt threatened, that's all that mattered--how he felt.

dead thieves are good thieves.

nothing else matters....

I'm guessing that the homeowner will be OK on this.....since there is only one of the perps that can testify. Two against one could have been sticky.

I agree, both are good shoots. . . . .

I feel bad for the dogs, it is really not their fault, it is the owners. . . ..

Shooting theives is another form of profiling. Shooting theives is unfair.
I say shoot every two time felon. If they didn't figure it out the first time we don't owe them a third chance.

the only good thief....

is a dead thief.

When some poor guy tries to steal some petty item out of your garage the punishment is death. When some rich guy steals billions of our countries wealth and loots the economy the reward is the presidency. Ahh justice at it's finest.

From a dog's perspective, one is either dominant or submissive. After a number of different breeds, I now have a rescued female pit and we savvy the concept. There is no doubt in her mind that this family is dominant over her. She's cool with that and has demonstrated so many times. She runs, off lead, behind my mountain bike and doesn't focus on anything else except following me, passing horses, people, dogs, et al without losing that singular focus. She's been attacked by other dogs a couple of times (I didn't see them first and the owners were not nearby), and she has returned to me to remedy the matter to our satisfaction-- sometimes with a dog firmly attached to her. The choice to walk in the world with a stalwart companion, whether a Pomeranian or a pit, comes with the requisite responsibilities.

That being said, a gun in the capable hands of someone makes them dominant over anyone/anything with bad intent. When choices are made to unwittingly question same, they oft write about such events in the local newspaper...

... with many unwittingly choosing to question same in the attendant comments section of the newspaper article....
