Which, is probably illegal. MN has some screwed up laws.
Your opinion on this is extremely extremely disturbing.
Why? Because I don't like criminals? Why are you so intent on coddling them? I find THAT disturbing...
I am not a soft-hearted liberal. I am tired of our laws variously being ignored while bad laws get enforced twice victimizing the law abiding. If those we entrust to protect us from criminals FAIL to do so, then it is our RIGHT to do so ourselves.
We can quibble for days over methodology, by I think it is safe to say there will be ZERO recidivism from these two drug addicted thieves.
My problem isnt self-defense. He had every right to sit and wait, to prepare himself and to shoot them. He stopped two felons from robbing other people, and who knows maybe elevating to armed robberies or murder to get their next fix. Commendable. But my problem with your viewpoint is that he was within rights to execute them. No he wasn’t. Once the kid was down and he was able to walk up to him and do a spot inspection he should have stopped. Heck on the boy he shot him through the hand between the eyes AFTER he loaded him up on a tarp and dragged him off the carpet so he wouldnt stain the carpet. Thats completely unreasonable. I think if he would have gotten off it would have done more harm to the right to self defense in the home in Minnesota than if he was convicted, otherwise in a state like Minny it would be used as evidence that the law is broken and needs fixed. Now we can say the law works.
