Yes he did. He saw them break in.

No, but being observed forcing your way into a home in which you obviously do not belong is a pretty clear indicator.

Yes there was, and he didnt bother to try and stop the crime in progress - which is frankly proof positive that the police are not to be relied upon.

The cop was there for a completely different reason, by the way, but don't let facts get in the way of your criminal-loving fantasy.

No it isn't. The 911 operator said that because she is the kind of person, like you, who seems to think that only the state should protect property or stop a crime in progress.

Both you, and the 911 operator, are wrong.

Additionally, as pointed out REPEATEDLY, it doesn't matter WHAT the 911 operator said.

Horn wasn't a vigilante. He was merely a concerned citizen doing his duty.

While I understand how some people would not like the 911 tape, Horn did appear anxious to kill these two criminals, it is still a simple fact that he killed 2 men that were robbing his neighbor. Had the 2 scumbags not violated the sanctity of another man's home, they would not be dead right now.

Period.

It is their own fault for being scumbags.

If you are a scumbag, then you deserve to die like a scumbag.
Good summary there Norrin. I wish more people could understand these simple facts.

Except for a concerned citizen doing his duty.

Obviously he didnt do it to protect his neighbors property, but because he wanted to kill a couple of scumbags and become a local hero.

Did he have time to? Maybe he knew that backup was 30 seconds away.

That they were committing a crime has not been questioned at anytime, by anyone, until your post that is.
And of course, the only thing that is failing here is your ability to read.

I'm questioning this man's ability to be sure enough that a crime was being committed of such severity as to justify shooting one once and the other twice with a shotgun.

Has everyone seen the Black Panthers run off by Joe Horn supporters?
It is pretty funny.

The poor black panthers couldn't even make a statement, as they were drowned out by Joe Horn supporters screaming USA USA USA USA USA

Another thing - Horns neighbours were immigrants too (gooks of some sort), and nobody should try telling me that a redneck like Horn gives a rats ass about them and their property!

Wow. You don't even personally know the man, but accuse him of being racist because of where he lives. Yet, in pointing out his SUPPOSSED racism, you point out your own BLATANT racism. Way to go!! FTW!!
