I think Joe Horn is about to be in big trouble.

Back = sideways probably

While I understand Horn's anger, I don't support his action. I don't get the sense that he was seriously threatened in a physical sense, and a warning shot probably would have been enough to get them to drop their loot.

Horn gives gun owners a bad name. And the law enforcement agencies that allowed the perps the opportunity to invade Horn's neighborhood give law enforcement -- or their bosses -- a bad name.

Dang. You just can’t do that. I might contribute to his defense fund anyway.

Used to be a time when getting killed was considered an occupational hazard of being a criminal.

Be on the lookout for armed horns....Mugshot?

A source told police that Ortiz and Torres burglarized the home, in part, because the homeowners were immigrants.

"They targeted foreign-born people," Corbett said. "They felt they were easier victims."

Little is known about the homeowners, who have Vietnamese surnames.

Well one thing is for sure. They won’t be back to rob or harm anyone else.

[DouglasKC]

According to the article the guys he shot were in his yard. They were lifelong criminals, illegal immigrants and probably hooked up with a major crime ring. They WERE dangerous. IF they were shot while retreating they could have been going back to their cars for a weapon or anything else.

They ought to give him a medal, WHEREVER he shot them.

Good for Horn. I hope he’s cleared.

[NRA2BFree]

They shouldn’t have been in the US illegally to begin with. They’d still be alive if there were back in their OWN country instead of trying to rob Anericans and break our laws. I’m sorry, I don’t feel sorry for them. Americans are murdered every day by illegals...........so this time it went the other way.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

I initially thought that this was Joe Horn the wide receiver

[pissant]

I support Horn, 100%

[M203M4]

Don't steal, easy as that.

[Spktyr]

It’s even more suspicious since I believe that the ME’s report has already been released - and the ME said (IIRC) that Horn shot them in the FRONT.

[12th_Monkey]

After the media processes the story it will sound like this. “Crazed gun toting white cowboy racist Texan kills oppressed minority's suffering under the Bush adminstration.”

[GeronL]

outraged minority activists?? lol... when are they not outraged?? oh... when a minority breaks into people’s homes and steals things, or even ends up shooting people like an NFL player or a regular person.

Sort of reminds me of Tom Horn, hired as a gun by Wyoming stockmen to cut down on a big rash of cattle rustling over a hundred years ago.

He was accused of shooting and killing Willie Nickell, son of a sheepman. Tom Horn was tried and hanged for that one in 1903.

I think Joe Horn was trying to take it upon himself to cut down on a big rash of liberal law and order. Look at those criminal records. That is the result of these two being caught and then being released over and over. I do not believe in vigilanteism, (it has its own costs) but, in the short run, I really believe he probably saved a few innocent lives.
