If you haven’t heard about this already, listen to the following 911 call: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhtRr4vwo6Q
Let me know your thoughts…. in my opinion, Mr. Horn is quite the badass, and took care of business. I’m sure fewer homes would get broken into if there were more Joe Horns out there.
In my neighborhood, this would never happen, because my neighbors and I still don’t know each others’ first names after almost 3 years of living here.
We’re antisocial.
In Mr. Horn’s case, both burglars later died from their injuries. At this point in time, his court case has been thrown out and, per the laws in Texas, he won’t be charged with anything.
Because of a new law enacted in Texas on Sept 1, you can shoot a burglar leaving your neighbor’s house as long as you see them carrying loot away with them. Do they have a big problem with this in TX? Do they have a lot of neighbors sitting at home just waiting to see their neighbors get robbed? Not sure where this law originated, but it seems to have worked out well in this instance.
Call it karma, call it vigilante justice, call it whatever…. the “good guys” won one.
I heard this on the radio the other day. I feel that Mr Horn did the right thing. It’s good when the law protects your rights to defend yourself (and your neighbors).
I want to know if Mr. Horn would be willing to buy the house next door to me.
